Here's what happens to American tourists while vacationing in Mexico.

Ten most dangerous places for tourism
Mexico
- it is not also paradise for the tourists, warned with own safety. This country offers a picturesque countryside, tasty meal, ridiculous hats and the highest rating of involuntary murders in the world to the travelers. Drug traffic and activity of criminal groupings do this rather quiet country dangerous to tourists. In capital of the country - Mexico City - 15 000 people are being killed annually. The Risk level varies from an average up to high. Street crimes, kidnappings, corruption is prevailing in the country especially in the border areas like Tijuana, Nogales or Juarez.

If Americans must vacation in Mexico, got to New Mexico instead.

Taken from least-visited places in the U.S.-

Capulin Volcano, New Mexico: Oh MAN! Everyone knows volcanoes are cool, even if they're extinct. The Capulin Volcano rises more than 1,000 feet above the surrounding plains, and you can walk to the top and check the sights from the rim. And the best part is it won't start exploding and mess up travel plans for millions!
Visitors in 2009: 50,935

Gila Cliff Dwellings, New Mexico: Ancient caves that used to house Mongollans more than 700 years ago. Sounds awesome, right?
Visitors in 2009: 43,016

With all the severe warnings any American who would venture into Mexico is a complete and utter moron who deserves what they get. I see no reason to boycott their products, but I never had or will step foot in that country.

Well I don't buy any fruit not from the USA so I'm already boycotting.
Seems most fruit these days comes from Chile though.

Sounds good. Hopefully Mexicans will abide by thier government's suggestion and avoid Arizona as well. Before long, the Mexican government may help solve the illegal problem in Arizona. STAY HOME!

Neighbors from hell-- can you imagine Mexicans judging America based solely on the American idiots crossing the border in Tijuana looking for trouble (drunks, drugs, guns, prostitution, human trafficking)? Just saying we ought to own our own village idiots before complaining about others.

Love New Mexico. Land of Enchantment. Can't think of any place in the world you can tram up a mtn to go skiing, then tram down to go golfing in shorts in winter. Odd and unusual place. People were very friendly.

Mexico is our number 3 trading partners, kids. Ignorance is bliss.

if our drug addled nation ever stopped woofing down the drugs the cartels were peddling and cleaned our own house of drug dealers, the violence down there would go away pretty quickly.

Selling us more than they buy. The sooner we end free trade with third world countries like Mexico the sooner our manufacturing will begin to return.

Dang ! I love vegetarian Mexican food, and I know a couple of nice Mexican people. I will take the best of Mexico, and leave the rest for the vultures.
