Looking to cross the border in early October

Forum Discussion
As I have said before, this is an international forum. Many Europeans are interested in travel in the U.S., Canada, Mexico and South America. So when there is misinformation, it scares people off.
So let's suppose I start a thread about the dangers of rving in California; murders in 2012 were 1600, car thefts near 50,000 and wackos killing people in theaters, schools, and shopping malls. Sounds correct, but is it fair? Do these things affect rvers in California? Probably not and if so in a very, very small percentage.
We know crime is a problem everywhere, like the 15,000 murders in the U.S. last year not to mention the kidnapping of children and women, murder sprees in public places and the fact that there are almost as many weapons as citizens. Imagine if I have never been to the U.S. and have just read that? No way am I going. Believe me, the U.S. needs tourism, and bad, to shore up its failing economy.
Well, the good thing is, Mexico's economy is doing extremely well but we still don't need people dwelling on the negative, now do we? Especially if we have no proof to back up our claims.
