Frankly if you live in fear of Mexicans in Indianapolis and get your info from Jesus-is-savior.com, I'm not even gonna click your links. Mexicans en masse are returning to Mexico. There are a million American ex-pats in MX. Americans who think living in Mexico is nicer than living here. And more affordable. And Mexican people who come here are very hard workers and astoundingly nice about it. They don't bring schemes and corruption they bring hard work and nice attitudes. FOX news doesn't cover that in the I states, but that's the reality, not the bunk on Jesus...com. When Cortez came to Mx he came with missionaries representing Jesus Christ and in the name of God fairly promptly commenced to slaughter the entire populace. Nice Catholic people in Europe were undoubtedly informed heroic Hernando was saving souls by slicing open and releasing them from their heretic bodies. Sure, again, vicious gangsters do terrible things, but although it's dramatic, it's the exception not the rule. It's just more sensational TV to show the Zetas lopping off heads than show Latinas making pupasas.
But a significantly larger amount of Mexicans' time is dedicated to making pupusas than lopping off heads. Texans keep that semi-secret. Pols posture on immigration to sell votes to people like you, but frankly we like the Mexicans a lot. That's why we allow millions to live here. We LIKE them.
Corrupt ponzi schemers spilling brutality and poverty over the border? Or is that actually my daughter enjoying the hospitality and dancing to good music by talented Mexican artists in a typically stylish Mexican restaurant?
The border is not a hostile war zone, it's very friendly. People walk back and forth everyday all day.
Spilling corruption and poverty? Or nice Latinas just going home after an honest day's work? The only thing scary here was the fence.
Yes Mexico is not as rich as the USA. Yes, they have crime, really not much different than the USA as a PP showed. There's really nothing to be afraid of - except the television.

The difference between the expats living in Mexico is that they are there LEGALLY, paying their way and not raping the taxpayers of Mexico. Additionally, they are not driving drunk, raping, and killing mexicans, demanding rights they are not entitled to. Nor are they illegally, marching in the streets of Mexico demanding instate tuition or citizenship because they have been squatting there illegally for decades.
Additionally, they are not coming to Mexico breeding like rabbits and dumping babies for the sole purpose of :
collecting welfare, foodstamps, section 8 housing, medical care, education, breakfast and lunch and an endless list of other freebies.
So your point is what?

Actually Mexico had a much higher murder rate in the past than it does now. Back when Americans thought it was safe and fun to go there -- it's just more reported today.
But also many Americans get their impressions of Mexico from the illegals who like to claim that everyone is starving to death there or that they are fleeing the violence. People just making every excuse to leave their own country and who don't care what kind of damage they do to it. Many Americans believe the illegals, believe that in Mexico there are no schools or good hospitals, no colleges.

Your comments lead me to believe you're greatly misinformed, and you hold unjustified prejudice against others.

Well if yer gonna say that, please elaborate. How am I misinformed? I took those photographs last month. What's misinformed?
And prejudice? I would think if I was prejudiced I wouldn't have walked All-American-Apple Pie arse across the border.
OBTW, are those your pix on Trip Advisor? Some good pix, I appreciate you posting pix of some of the nice neighborhoods of DF - where I'm taking my prejudiced arse to for 7 days next month. Staying a block away from Belle Artes.
So R U a Mexican in CHI or a US who lived in MX?
And do you know if Popocateptl is still smoking? I'd like to see an active volcano, any suggestions about how to get there other than car? I have half a mind to rent a car and drive up there. I know Centro is no place to drive but Insurgentes doesn't look so bad. It looks like once you get down pass Coyoacan it looks pretty light. But how are the roads? I do think one day behind the wheel might be fun and survivable assuming I get a working GPS. Does GPS service go out once you leave DF?

Of course you are reading that news while hiding under the bed in your bullet proof bunker, right?
Let us know when the gunfire get too intense. PurpleRain will send the Marines in to rescue you.

Well, to keep this factual, I've read a few tidbits today that suggest you are about half right, and my own interpretations have been a little rosy.
Southern Mexican States generally have similar or lower murder rates than US States. However, counting drug gang bodies and associated players (cops, pols, bystanders), northern Mexican bodycounts are indeed WAY higher than what we have:
http://geo-mexico.com/?p=4854
Compare to US States:
Murder Rates Nationally and By State | Death Penalty Information Center
I still believe that going by recent trip advisor and hotel.com reviews you can see all these problems are not affecting the average person - tourist anyways. Everybody going to DF, Acapulco, and yes even Monterrey are reporting typical travel experiences. Lots of comments saying "right in the middle of everything", "easy to walk to", etc. No reports of narcobloqueos, public decapitations or gun battles.

Funny you say that in response to this post, but nothing against someone like Purplerain, who clearly is bigoted if not completely racist.
