I agree. Mexico is getting a bad rap.
Well said.

I couldn’t agree more with Linda’s comments. Mexico gets a very bad rap that is undeserved. By choice, I moved to Guadalajara from Dallas a year ago because I sold my business, retired, and married a lovely lady from here. Like Linda, we also spend a lot of time in Puerto Vallarta and other areas of Mexico and we have no cause for alarm what so ever. The weather here is ‘fabulous’ and the people are generally happy, even if they’re poor, and yes, my dollar goes much further here. Very nice!
Problems here? Well of course there are! As we all know, both sides of the US/Mexican border are problematic because of the drugs and guns that cross there and the fighting among the gangs for it’s control, again, on both sides of the border. If you want to cast dispersions, why don’t we REALLY take a hard look at the USA’s appetite for drugs and the GLUT of “assault weapons” that slide in under the “Right to Bare Arms”. Question: Does Bubba really need to cut that deer in half with his bullets?? Or, is he that bad of a shot?? Jesus Christ, wake up USA!!
In Guadalajara, Mexico’s second largest city, my wife and I feel safer walking at night in the city-center than we do in either downtown Dallas, L.A., or New York City. So those casting negative or rumor-based comments about Mexico show, at best, their lack of information, or at worst, their total ignorance because it’s obvious they’ve not been to the vast interior parts of Mexico.
