Is Mexico dangerous?
My wife and I are travelling across the USA and plan to head down through Mexico to South America. On our trip through the US, every American we've come across, from Connecticut to Texas, has said they wouldn't go to Mexico, due to drug wars and kidnapping. We at first thought that perhaps the people here are a little over cautious due to media hype, but as we near the Mexican border there is an abundance of Police and Texans who use to go to Mexico warning us off. What is the situation here? If all these people say that its dangerous, but I still go, and put my wife and myself in danger, who's really the idiot here? Anyone recently go through Mexico? Which route did you take?
