Do you really think it is a good idea to go to Juarez right now?

Unfortunately, some of us live on the Mexico/U.S. border and don't have much choice, except to move north. And I'd do that, if I could sell my house. But who wants to buy a house on the border, where beheadings, bombings, rapes, etc. are everyday occurences next door? Maybe, just for the heck of it, I'll start posting the front page of our newspaper, just to remind folks on MyLot there's a da*n war going on down here.

this is why Arizona here is trying to do something about it. people just dont understand whats going on here. then the government is sueing us over it. guess no other states seem to care about the fact that one day there will be so many here, you wont be even a little safe in your own home. no one is helping arizona with this fight. why? its tough enough here. its just crazy. no one cares.

you couldn't pay me to go there even when i lived on the other side. going now is crazy.i doubt those gangs would give two farts about offing a foreigner.

No travel, not anywhere. We are a "city without walls" and we are not safe at home or abroad.

Yup, a Canadian was burned and stashed in his car trunk. The family went down there to find him and they were the ones to find that burned car. He was hiring people from Mexico to make purses and he had been going down there for his business for a while now. Nobody knows why it happened. I think its best to vacation in Europe or in your own country for now.

I am guessing not. I would not go to Mexico in general right now (not to mention the other places you mentioned!), I am that worried about the situation there.
