Mexico is a wonderful country!!! They have everything oil, gas minerals labor force. universities, etc how ever they also have corruption and unless and until that is fixed they will stay right where they are in the world order. I love Mexico and their people but if even their own people are afraid to travel openly, that should tell you something. I talked to my dentist last month in Mexico about a recreation spot he goes to and asked him if he was afraid of the violence. (Reynosa area) he said it is safe for me but probably not you.
Very interesting take on Mexico. I drive to Reynosa and Matamoros taking the old highway every two weeks. Never an issue.
Just the city of Monterrey dumps 3 billion dollars a year into the Rio Grande Valley on vacations, shopping and eating out not to mention business that is transacted between the two states (Texas and Nuevo Leon).

There is corruption and it exists in all countries. No one is exempt from human temptation and the list of the Seven Sins. Do a search for "Oklahoma Corruption" and you'll be reading there most of your life, or the list of 120 U.S. governors, senators and legislators convicted in the last 10 years on corruption and fraud charges not to mention police and city officials who have been convicted of corruption. Once you're done, give me a call and we can chat.
