Warning issued against Americans traveling to Progresso

Over 1300 beheadings in last 5 years, 12 kidnappings per hour, unstable central government, people afraid to go to the police for help because of police corruption. Cartels running things along the border. I guess technically your correct. Mexico isn't 3rd world. But it sure sounds like it. All this and it borders one of the richest countries on earth. Can you imagine what Mexico would be like if things were stabilized. The country is beautiful. South Texas would be a one night stop over on the way south. The beaches, the mountains, the culture. The stores in Progresso are junk shops. They could have the finest Jewelry stores, fresh produce markets, fine hotels, beautiful tropical RV parks, casinos, first class entertainment. You have to wonder why that isn't happening.
