Now, Tom Fuentes, the former assistant director of the FBI, is telling NewsNation that so-called “safe” resorts may not be quite as secure as tourists believe.
oh, c'mon. Please. The cartel responsible just issued an apology for the gang members who acted on their own.
They have genuine concern and a heavy heart.
All in all it's a very nice and surprising gesture by the Tamaliupas cartel against their rogue members.
Another American lady walked across the bridge into the same today or yesterday for liposuction.
Many local Texans go there for pet treatments too.
It's like saying anywhere in Chicago, Baltimore, or L.A. are dangerous to enter.
And, no I'm no visiting there, Chicago, Baltimore or L.A.
This is a wild guess, but I would estimate that 80% of all cities and towns in Mexico have never had a violent incident blamed on the cartels.
This thread title is tantamount to saying "no place in Kansas is safe from tornados", which is, of course, technically true.. And because posters here believe that, they are palpably afraid to drive through Kansas.
BTW, "not quite as secure as people believe" is not the same as "nowhere is safe".

The thread title is an ex-FBI boss's chilling warning.
These are direct quotes - NONE are my words or opinions.
I was just posting an article I read.
I've travelled to Mexico as a solo female, and never felt threatened.
An estimated 66 million international tourists visited Mexico in 2022. How many of them were killed? Its not zero but it sure is a small percentage of those who visited without incident. I love how government officials just throw stuff out there that was never under their control. If it was something under their control and the inevitable tiny percentage of incidents happened, they would say nothing is 100% without risk.

Never felt unsafe in Mexico, only go to Downtowns and the usual city stuff. I never see the needs to visit where the locals live cause there is nothing to do there.
Went into Tijuana for a few days recently. You are suppose to come in with a passport, Mine expired. I show them that and than my Nexus card to prove I am USA citizen. They brought me to a room to pay a 30 dollar fee for a 7 day tourist Visa. I never got a receipt or Visa, the guy just put the 30 bucks in a desk. Of course he pocketed the money.
I don't find anything particularly "chilling" about the article. Doesn't everyone know by now that the cartels run the show? While the murder of these citizens is certainly a horrible tragedy, it will not stop me from going to Mexico again.
Sooner or later the government of Mexico is going to have to make a choice. Either wipe out the cartels themselves or have the US Military Special Forces do it for them
