I have been continuing to comment about the violent situation in Mexico. I do so because many people are still vacationing or day tripping into that country. It’s just not safe.
While crime is low in El Paso the killing in Juarez, just across the river is the worst of any city in Mexico. Reports are on the internet, CNN and in the newspapers. The Auto Club of Southern California has always promoted cruises down the coast from California cities. They no longer offer those trips in their Westways magazine. Their latest issue has not one single reference to anything in Mexico and that includes advertising.
The U.S. State Department has put Mexico on its travel alert list. I have commented about this before and hope that everyone will take this situation seriously.
American concern should be the possibility of terrorists and drug smugglers bringing violence across the border. Those opposed to walls fences and other U.S. government efforts to stop illicit traffic into this country should look at the case of the Nigerian who almost brought down a commercial airplane near Detroit.
