Great vacation spot!
The U.S. State Department has issued an alert, warning travelers that the “equivalent to military small-unit combat” is taking place across the southern U.S. border in Mexico and that Americans are being kidnapped and murdered there.
“Recent Mexican army and police force conflicts with heavily-armed narcotics cartels have escalated to levels equivalent to military small-unit combat and have included use of machine guns and fragmentation grenades,” said the State Department alert.
“Confrontations have taken place in numerous towns and cities in northern Mexico, including Tijuana in the Mexican state of Baja California, and Chihuahua City and Ciudad Juarez in the state of Chihuahua,” reads the alert. “The situation in northern Mexico remains very fluid; the location and timing of future armed engagements there cannot be predicted.”
So, no Spring Break?
Spring break in Juarez? No gracias. The resorts are safe, but we haven’t been back to Mexico in years for political reasons. It’d be nice if everyone felt that way so Mexico could feel the economic pinch from lower tourism.
I remember a couple a months ago during prime spring break season that the college kids kept getting trapped in Mexico because of violence.
Yes this Bush regime has been good for everyone
