This is the best they can come up with?


("Mexican Foreign Secretary Luis Ernesto Derbez said the State Department announcement, issued Wednesday, exaggerated the danger. ")


Typical expected lazy - a** response.

Until it affects them economically , nothing changes.


(""We're aware of 27 incidents involving abductions of Americans, and that we know two of those Americans were killed and 11 remain missing and 14 were eventually released," he said."")

So , at this moment, there at least 11 missing , abducted Americans and the announcment is "exaggerated"

Your most likely to get killed in the freeway getting here, than to die at the hands of a drug trafficker.

"...he overwhelming majority of the victims of violent crime have been Mexican citizens. Nonetheless, U.S. citizens should be aware of the risk posed by the deteriorating security situation..."



This is a good warning.
It is always good advice to secure the drugs and cash while keeping the firearms close and loaded.

Reason for waning?



I think this is a response to the 'guide for illegal aliens' pamphlet..

Maybe the Warning will help.


Maybe the continued financial suffering of the people there due to the lack of Tourism will help to reform the way the City has some obligation to promote and protect Tourism there. Some of the Mexican people are VERY rude to tourists and have the attitude " The people will always come to my store"..make em suffer where it hurts...

I would say more rude Gringo's. Re: being safe in Baja. I was down in Ramona ordering a spare wheel and tire for our Baja trip at the end of this mth. LOL a man came out of know where touched my hair and back side said some very vulger things I grabed my cell said if he didn't leave the shop he would be hurt then in jail. He mention he would love us two women to hurt him. If he wouldn't have left we would have called the guys from the back of the shop. Well after I hit him up side the head, with the tire iron I had in site. Sick person. Never in Baja has this happened to me.
