Peace and security in Mexico

I have friends that work for Los Angeles County Sherriff's department, and I have access to the incarceration rates, by race, in the jails. A very high percentage of them have Hispanic surnames here.

By my observations, it seems to permeate their culture, regardless of which side of the border they are on. I suspect it has to do with Indian blood, Indian culture, and Indian giving being acceptable in their culture, but not in the white man's culture, back in the beaver pelt and fur trading days.

YMMV, you may form your own opinions contrary to mine... but every single car accident that I've been here in Los Angeles, five of them, rear end jobs, has been by an uninsured Hispanic, that did personal damage to my truck, or my trailer, and definitely my lower back, which has never been the same and a constant source of pain since then. So yes, the ones involved with me have been criminal.

That's just the way the statistics have played out here in the San Fernando Valley, in my case... again YMMV.

As a result, I have a distinct opinion formed about them due to the losses I have incurred, as being thieves, and irresponsible. Not all of them, but enough to create, for me, a stereotype such that I trust, but verify, every single time.

It has nothing to do with race, it has to do with tribe. And it all goes back to indian givers, IMHO.

I've hired them for my construction crew, and I've hire day laborers also. Not by choice, but to stay competitive. I've had a lot more problems with hiring them and material losses on the job. I'll leave it at that.

I don't think it matters which side of the border you are on, if they are around, theft can be a bigger problem than without them being around. Just my lifetime observations, with being around the poor ones.

Most RVers don't have the Spanish skills or time to follow what is really happening but instead depend on rumors posted in English. Sometimes it is people who are biased, supporting their friends or families business or just plain ignorance that causes these types of posts. .Here is a independent evaluation from the other side of the world, plus a color coed map that should be easy to understand.
"According to Mexico Pace Index 2015 issued by The Institute for Economics & Peace, based in Sydney Australia, the state of Veracruz is the seventh entity with higher levels of public safety in Mexico."

Cris: you may, by now, regret having even posted. Nothing much changes here.


Here is a clicky
Ubica The Institute for Economics & Peace a Veracruz como un estado pacífico

I promised myself last year I would keep a low profile on this forum but I can't resist. I agree with the article 100%.

Last fall I posted statistical graphs similar to those in the above link on my blog. Many rvers have a fear of crossing the border thinking it is the most dangerous area and just can't wait to head south. Because they are not familiar with the langauge, travel and stay in small towns, they have little to no access to real world Mexico news.

In the end, it turns out that their fear of border states is unwarranted as many of them stay in the most dangerous areas and don't even know it.

Many people miss out on some of the most beautiful scenery, mountains, lakes and desert because they are in such a hurry to head south.

That's all. :)

The webpage you link to is in Spanish. Google translate doesn't seem to work even though I have it enabled in Chrome.
Do you have a link to the page in English?

(By the way, that sort of post usually brings out the xenophobes and bigots - so good luck with that!)

Again I just have to say if we are talking about Mexico why are the same people always trying to throw the U.S. under the bus. One in my opinion cannot compare the two.
