Travel Alert for Mexico

[TheMercenary]

I was sort of thinking about this statement and how many of those places I have visited:

"IN RECENT YEARS, DOZENS OF U.S. CITIZENS HAVE BEEN KIDNAPPED IN MEXICO AND MANY CASES REMAIN UNRESOLVED. MOREOVER, NEW CASES OF DISAPPEARANCES AND KIDNAP-FOR-RANSOM CONTINUE TO BE REPORTED. NO ONE CAN BE CONSIDERED IMMUNE FROM KIDNAPPING ON THE BASIS OF OCCUPATION, NATIONALITY,OR OTHER FACTORS.


THE EXISTING VIOLENCE DUE TO THE CONFLICT BETWEEN THE MEXICAN GOVERNMENT AND THE DRUG CARTELS HAS CREATED POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS FOR ALL PERSONNEL ALONG THE U.S.-MEXICAN BORDER. THE HIGHEST RISK AREAS ARE TIJUANA, NOGALES, JUAREZ, NUEVO LAREDO, ACUNA, PIEDRAS NEGRAS, AND REYNOSA/MATAMOROS.
