Why the U.S. Considers Parts of Mexico as Dangerous as Syria, Somalia

The U.S. Department of State (DoS) rolled out a level-based warning system and issued “do not travel” advisories to five Mexican states–all for cartel violence.

A level down, DoS advised travelers “reconsider” (level 3) Central America’s Northern Triangle states, Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador.

The State Department point system quantified freedom to travel safely across the board.

Seeing soccer being played with a human head is just a little unnerving.That's how the cartels set examples.

White supremacists killed more people in the US in 2017 than Muslims and Antifa combined.

I used to go to Honduras once in a while back in the late 70's and always felt pretty safe,I never really felt safe in Mexico,I used to feel safe in Colombia until I was asaultid and managed to escape a kidnap attempt,needless to say I never went back.I'm a lot older now and there is no way I would travel anywhere south of the border.

3:35- But not the year before that, or the year before that. The jury is still out on the motives of the Vegas shooter, which is who I guess you are referring to.

4:15 Since FARC gave up and Escobar is dead, Colombia is very safe. I've been several times in the past 2 years. Medellin is clean, safe and affordable. Great restaurants and nightlife. Mexico city is as safe as any other large city. There are areas of Mexico that no tourist should be just like parts of Baltimore, Chicago and Detroit.
