[quote=Anonymous]Mexico may be more dangerous than the U.S. overall, but not for Americans. 4.8 per 100,000 Americans were murdered in the U.S. in 2010, while only 2.1 of 100,000 visitors (who may or may not have been connected to drug trafficking) were murdered in Mexico. Texans are twice as safe in Mexico than in Texas, and three times safer than in Houston. Texans aren’t the only state citizens that are safer in Mexico than their home state (yes, New Orlean’s homicide rate is triple that of Mexico’s national homicide rate). The vast majority of Mexico is not on the U.S. State Department’s travel warning. President Obama’s daughter Malia went to Oaxaca for her spring break, despite Texas’s alarmist travel warning.[/quote]
