The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is urging Americans to avoid all travel to Mexico as cases of COVID-19 continue to surge across the Central American nation.
Within the last two weeks, Mexico has surpassed more than 1.11 million confirmed cases of coronavirus and reported over 105,000 deaths – the fourth highest virus death toll in the world, behind the US, Brazil and India respectively.
Mexico also has the second-highest case fatality rate per every 100,000 residents of any country in the world at 9.5 percent. Only Yemen, with a fatality rate of 28.3 percent, has fared worse.

Isn't life great? Biden wants to bring more people from there to here to vote in the US to install a government like they have at home in this country too. Oh! Joy!

A good reason to seal the border.

Actually, they are already overwhelming the hospitals in the El Paso area. They're streaming over here to get free, superior American health care...that American citizens themselves can't get. Great policy, eh?

Also, #5, since COVID, I haven’t seen as many you tube channels lately with happy American expats telling us how much better Mexico is than America ! I’ll bet many of them have run right back here in case they get sick!

Screw the Wuhan.....I quit going to Mexico long ago because of the bullets flying and kidnappings.
The whole country is a free fire zone for drug dealers.

Re #7. Same here. I wouldn’t go if I was offered a free vacation at the finest hotel with 1st class flight included. It’s now actually a failed narco state. Dangerous place...not worth the risk.

I am sure I read that the CDC was not going to make a count of flu deaths this year. Am I the only one who read that? Anyway, good way to boost covid death count. I trust no government agency.

I don't plan my vacations or travel based upon what the CDC professes. They haven't been right about anything.

Well if you take what Biden said during the campaign to heart, he essentially pledged to the Democrat Party that he will promote "open borders" with Mexico, and apparently the American people when they voted for Biden also voted for "open borders". So if Biden gets in and keeps his pledge it will be a sight to be seen along the borderline, as masses of illegal aliens cross over into the USA believing what Biden said, that he will not deport any illegal aliens other than illegal aliens convicted in the USA of violent felonies, which means that to most of those crimes the victim will have been a US citizen and the door will be open to all sorts of foreign criminals to stay in the USA. The rush along the borderline has already started with thousands of unaccompanied illegal alien minors coming across after Biden said that he will make the DACA amnesty permanent so that all illegal alien minors will be able to stay in the USA. Then or course Biden has said that he will amnesty just about all the illegal aliens now in the USA and put them on a path to US citizenship, that may be about 20 million or more illegal aliens, and of course Biden and the Democrats intend to also transform them into future leftist and liberal Democrat voters. Who knows maybe Biden and the Democrats will put the incoming masses of illegal aliens at the top of the heap as far as being offered one of the new COVID vaccines. Its is going to be interesting especially if the Democrats take control of the US Senate.

At this point, I don’t believe a single word put out by the CDC.
Bumper sticker for 2021 -

Mexico has more people being murdered by drug runners than will ever die from the virus. I wonder if Mexicans will be quarantined for that.

Again, with the Daily Mail. Am I missing something? Why are they considered a credible news source? As far s the CDC goes, they can KMA.

We haven't been to Mexico in at least 35 years. Even then, we drove across the border at Nogales AZ to sample local cuisine then promptly got back on the US side. My older son is a pilot for Frontier and occasionally gets a flight leg to Cancun. That's about it for my clan. Nothing for us to see here.

Mexico where you can die from 'lead poisoning', Covid-19 along with Montezuma's revenge but you will go out in style.
You don't have to tell me not to travel to Mexico I live in a border state and trust me they are already here.
