I'd never travel to Mexico. Even my ex sister in law, who's from there, won't go back.

A different American family from the one I was thinking about. I had my experience 20 years ago and I'm not stepping back in there at all.

This is the second American family being attacked in less than two months. In the first one, NINE religious people from Utah, that lived just outside of the border, near Arizona, were killed.

In this second one, one child was killed, and the mother is in the hospital.

It's a huge country, and the areas that shouldn't be traveled on lonely stretches of road at night are well known.

I suspect there is more to the story here, it doesn't make sense that a drug cartel would just stop a car and shoot up these cars. Highway bandits might rob someone at a road block or something, but just shooting cars with OK plates for no reason? It doesn't gain them anything, and everything is done for a reason.

Sad news, did you also hear about the 8 Mexican nationals killed in a WalMart in El Paso.

I also notice that the US media isn't posting pictures of this family (Mexican-America origin) on any of the articles like they did the white Mormon family. With the Mormon family, the media went way overboard with showing their pictures.

Open borders with a place like Mexico is like living in a high crime neighborhood and leaving your doors unlocked at night.

I wouldn’t quite say they are from Utah, Mormons in Mexico have some pretty far-reaching roots.

Ed Calderon has a lot to say about how bad it is in Mexico. It doesn’t have to be that way, either.

Nobody is talking about open borders. Here, or otherwise, sir. That’s not a thing.

Mexico doesn't want open borders either, as soon as that were to happen the cost of living would go up in Mex. No one mentioned open borders.
