Will the bad news change my plan travel to Mexico?

After reading the article referenced above I went to this website . . .

http://static.visionofhumanity.org/#/page/indexes/global-peace-index . . .

Where they have a world map showing more peaceful and less peaceful places. You can click through that and then you can go to the US Index and the Mexico Index to find the hotspot states in those countries. There are no simple answers to any of this.
