A lot of the Americans who get killed in Mexico are dual nationals, quite a few of whom were involved in some unsavory activities (eg, several American citizens were killed in shootouts with Mexican Army or police last year because they were members of cartels).
Mexico is not the safest country by any means. However, most tourists do fine. Even Juarez managed to pull off a festival/concert series in October called the "Competitiva" that attracted a lot of cross-border and international tourism, and none of them got shot.
Do we really need nanny state to tell us when and where it's safe to travel? With all the news reports and specials on TV it doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand parts of Mexico are dangerous...
Oh, and the graphic, 40% of Mexico's population gunned down in the prime of their lives is a real jewel...
Between this and the other ludicrous "facts" in that graph one can come to only one conclusion, the person(s) who made it, they be smokin' too much weed man...
Three million little girls playing outside their homes are killed by ricocheting bullets? Where is that information from, some macabre version of the Onion?
^^ Boy, don't try to put anything fishy past Super-Sleuth here.

In your haste to discredit any anti-illegal alien website you missed the fact that CNN is responsible for this article. Does it make the warning credible enough for you now?
And you missed the fact that your anti-illegal alien website used a graphic from the Onion. And you believed it was real. I can't decide if that's more funny or sad.

Exactly.
Virtually all the "Americans" killed in Mexico were Americans in name only, by virtue of their mothers coming over the border to give birth in free US hospitals, NOT average innocent Americans. And most of these US birth certificate Mexicans had not so innocent ties or were using their US citizenship to get drugs or weapons over the border, were actually involved with cartel activities, including being hitmen or kidnappers.
El Ponchis, the 14 year old involved in tortures and beheadings of Mexicans is a full-fledged US citizen because his illegal mother gave birth to him in the United States. Other than that however he lived in Mexico as his mother abandoned him to his grandmother back home.
The cartels are in the USA, and if they were targetting innocent Americans, they could easily kill us here.
What I really don't understand is how this administration will put up a travel warning to a nation it insists on having open borders with, and allows anyone from that nation to come here illegally, and doesn't question the claims of the so-called refugees pouring over the border demanding asylum. This travel warning makes it clear that the border states are the most dangerous, yet there is very little enforcement of the border with those states and the USA. It makes no sense. Just as allowing illegals to come here, no background checks done on them of course.
Jimenez and his sister were arrested by the Mexican Army last December at an airport on the way to Tijuana, where they planned to cross into the U.S. Jimenez’s sister is allegedly part of a group of girls called Las Chabelas, who dump bodies in plain sight to intimidate the population in and around Cuernavaca, which is a short drive from Mexico City.
How many Americans were murdered in America last year?
About 7000, in your nations Capital about 600 were killed by gun violence last year. . So go ahead and book that vacation in Mexico its a lot safer than going to visit your nation's Capital Washington DC!!
