I have family there.  parts of mexico are safer than any US city because you have police and military visible there everywhere you go.  I saw a group of 4 police responding to a situation in jewelery store running down the street with their guns drawn where US police would not have drawn their's until they started to enter the facility. It was a little unnerving.  To your point though i actually agree you are taking a chance and you have to be careful you don't get yourself in a situation where you're alone with either the cartel or the police.  Other "safer" places can also be a problem. My brother lives there and crossed into Belize. Belize is considered a great place for ex pats.  He got shook down for bribe money by the police in belize when he crossed over.</p></blockquote><p></p>
