That's why I don't go to California or Illinois. Dangerous country out there. There was a shooting in my hometown last evening. McAllen, Texas which is about ten miles from the border is one of the safest cities in the United States.

Depends on which part of California we're talking about. California's a big state

It was a joke. Sorry that you didn't get it. Both great states have their safe as well as dangerous areas. Painting an entire country or state with fear is too common today.

No worries, and the state of California is the biggest joke. The problem is, and I don't care if you're Republican or Democrat, is that one party has been completely wiped out, in this case the Republican party. That's not healthy for any state as there is now no debate on anything. The Democrats now have a Super-Majority in the legislature and pass whatever laws or taxes they want.

Ron3rd: You need to move to some other (Red?) state...:)

The decrease in population (of CA) would be great - really help if you take your friends, acquaintances and kin folk along. If they're not in CA, be sure to tell them to "stay put".

Thanks in advance.....and for this thread.... "Adios!"

.

People travel to war zones and areas known for kidnapping and then when something bad happens they want their government to rescue them. It not my job to rescue people from foolish decisions.

Mexico is in a de-facto state of war. Did anybody here see what happened when the police tried to arrest the son of El Chapo a few weeks ago? Tell me the last time something like that happened in the USA? I'm waiting. Comparing the dangers of travel and life in Mexico to the dangers of travel and life in the USA is absurd and I think even the people doing so in this thread know it's absurd.

You won't find me going there in a RV, but if you want to go "knock yourself out", as they say.

I wonder if the State Deparment issues a travel advisory for the United States of America, you go to Walmart you get shot, go to church get shot, go to McDonalds get shot, send kids to school they get shot, drive under an over pass and wonder if today you catch a rock droped from the over pass, or maybe the road rage idiot next to you will open fire on you because you looked at him, or maybe you are at a picnic at the park and you catch a bullet from the drive by? Or participate in a drive by shooting sitting in your living room?

In Mexico the narcos shoot other narcos for the territory, in the US inocents are shot for no reason at all, how do you fearmongers explain that?

Lol the murder rate in Mexico is 5X per 100,000 the murder rate in the US. To say they're all narcos is pretty offensive to Mexicans. About 1/2 of Mexico murders are drug related, making murders of innocent people still 2.5X more than the US. Not to mention other crimes like robbery. There I explained it.

I arrived in Weslaco, TX which is about 5 miles from Nuevo Progreso Mexico on December 10th. So far I have driven over once and walked over once. Last year I stayed in this same area and went over at least 10 times if not more. Going again Monday or Tuesday. One of the safest places I have ever been.

Other countries have travel advisories for the United States of America. Where can we hide. We live 2 miles from the Mexico Border. Significantly safer than many USA cities.
