Things changing for the better
Way back in 2005 and 2006 my wife and I traveled to just about every place in Mexico that one would want to go and reported on it here in what I am told was the longest thread ever at this board with ...

Tips on how and where to travel in Mexico are mentioned daily on this forum by those who use it daily. Above I said I would not go to Nuevo Laredo and you talk about Nuevo Laredo - I would not go to Detroit either - so I do compare them. These are well known high crime areas known to just about anyone who pays any attention anywhere in the world. As I am sure you recall I have shown official US FBI and Dept of Justice statistics with official United Nations statistics from around the world - and have mentioned that Mexico does not rank in the top 20 in the world for homicide - but if Detroit were a country it would rank right up there with the worst in the entire world - as would places like Nuevo Laredo and Ciudad Juarez - which is why we don't go to any of those places. So if Detroit is among the worst in the world should we avoid Michigan altogether. Why? If you claim these things happen in Nuevo Laredo - and I don't say they do not - does that mean all of Mexico is to be avoided? Dumb question? Why go to Michigan and not go to Mexico? Seems a rather naive conclusion to me. Areas of the US are not safe and areas of Mexico are not safe. Lots of places are not safe. But lots of places in Mexico are very safe. Why would anyone condemn an entire country because of a few areas? Why not condemn the whole US for the crime in Detroit? Your logic continues to amaze.
