Mexico is ok I suppose if you stay in the tourist areas. But I've never been there myself. I knew a mother and daughter who would fly there every year for vacation. But that was long ago and the daughter is likely an old lady now. ;)
Gang murders and lots of tourist rapes even in Acapulco. Mexico is a war zone.
And if Eric Holder had not allowed guns to be smuggled into Mexico trying to set up the gangs to be busted in a supposed sting, it might not be as bad as we see today. ;)
