Mood: Have Baja Fever

[*] posted on 4-26-2008 at 10:41 AM


I don't go to Chicago to have fun... (too far and too windy, right?)

I would really like to see more military and a clean sweep in order to return the 'Amigo Country' back to all law abiding people!!

Extreme measures are needed to get things back to normal... or the tourists will find other places to go... It will take time even after law and order is returned... Unfortunate for all in the tourist business and many other businesses as well!

The population of Chicagoland is 9.7 million, about 3 times the population of all of Baja. You don't think there were at least 20-something murders in Baja in the last two weeks? The murder rate in Mexico is 3 times the rate in the US. You can Google that up, if you like.

If you like Baja, that's OK. But don't pretend it is safer that the US. It is not.


The really high crime rate areas in Mexico include Mexico City, Tijuana, Ciudad Juárez, Nuevo Laredo, Michoacan, and the state of Sinaloa.

Here's more detail ...

US crime statistics are found here..

Interesting stuff.
