[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you travel to Mexico, you should expect this.

It's not a safe country, but hey it's cheap so you can drink a lot. [/quote]

Yes and no. You need to be aware of safety risks traveling to Mexico, but this is an unusual level of violence in touristy areas, and the concern specifically about American tourists is not normal.

I would ordinarily have no issue traveling to Puerto Vallarta or the Cancun area -- I've been to both and felt totally safe. I would think twice about going there right now because (1) the currently heightened security concern specifically for Americans, and (2) the fact that Trump is unpredictable and reckless and his attention seems to be at least partially on Mexico right now. Between that bizarre closure of air space over El Paso and then this, I would personally be concerned that Trump will do something stupid that would impact my safety or even just my ability to get home from Mexico on time. It is not hard to imagine him doing something idiotic while I'm having an otherwise normal and safe vacation at a resort or n Mexico City, and that resulting my flights being cancelled or rerouted, or some other annoying travel obstacle I don't want to deal with.

Puerto Rico it is![/quote]
