A former FBI assistant director is warning Americans that nowhere in Mexico is safe from the cartels, after the kidnapping of four US citizens and murder of two last week.
Latavia McGee and Eric Williams were yesterday found alive in a stash house near Matamoros, a border town in the northeast Mexican state of Tamaulipas. McGee's cousin Shaeed Woodard and friend Zindell Brown were both shot dead.
Their kidnapping is still being investigated, but US and Mexican authorities believe they were mistaken for a rival human trafficking gang and were taken by members of the Gulf Cartel.

ANY travel into Mexico is suicidal.

Don't go into Mexico. You wanna win a Darwin Award, that's the place. Stay home and stay safe...and away from parts of Chicago and Detroit.

Haven't been in Mexico for 30 years and frankly no desire to do any Cancun trips at this stage since these basically support the cartels.

If you see the video, you can tell that the cartel goons are taking their time hauling in the bodies and such. No worry about the coppers showing up soon, because many of the Mexican cops either are on the take or are wise enough to know that if they get involved, they (and their families) may pay the price.
I remember a time when Nuevo Laredo went through police chiefs at an alarming rate. Seems a number of them were affected by acute lead poisioning incidents complements of the reigning cartel.

No doubt there are a lot of politicians on both sides of the borderline are being corruptly paid off by the Mexican criminal cartels or the borderline would not be out of control for so long. Beyond that Biden’s “open borders” unlawful initiatives are all on Biden! There are Mexican cartel operatives in every illegal alien community across the USA. Once illicit drugs or illegal aliens have been smuggled across the borderline into the USA, and to the interior illegal alien communities, cartel operatives there distribute those illicit drugs to US drug dealers who then sell those drugs throughout greater US communities.

AMLO (presidente) and the Mexican elites try to stay low and out of the way. Some even have financial interests in the cartels. Carlos Slim is one--he long ago should have been interrogated--and like Slim, every one of those elites have business interests, property, and cash in the US. Someone like Trump would have seized and frozen their assets until our Army could go in and if needed carpet bomb cartel areas.
As to the unfortunate medical tourists, their story smells like week-old baccala on a hot sidewalk. Matamoros, across from Brownsville, is not where you go for medical work: Mexico City and area, Cancun-Merida, Tijuana, Cabo, and other places in Baja are where you go. Now could it be that they were fronting for one cartel's drugs in NC, went down to negotiate new terms, and were offed by one side or the other? And the woman was traveling with them for her side benefit, which was to get some cosmetic work done further into MX after the men did their thing?

I spent many years living in Central and South America in the 1970's and 80's. I never, once, went to Mexico, nor would I go there today. I think its more dangerous than Jamaica, Haiti or Nicaragua. Mexicans, in Mexico, are notoriously corrupt and their government is corrupt starting right at the top with AMLO. Ironically I have employed several Mexican workers in the U.S. and they are above reproach. If they get here many show an entrepreneurial attitude. My experience with U.S. based Mexican nationals is totally positive.

The Biden administration is trying to kneecap Mexico, because they have told him they intend to continue producing oil and gas, and not follow the green agenda. If Biden cared about cartels, he would do something about the cartel's complete control of the southern border, about the drugs entering our country, about the Americans killed and robbed by illegals. Maybe the State Dept should issue a warning to American citizens about traveling anywhere in America. And a warning to to travel to Canada, Australia, New Zealand, UK, France, or Spain -- not unless they want to be rubber bulleted for not wearing a mask, or believing in their covid hoax.

Aren't we all SO happy that the lefties have left our border with Mexico wide-open, so these cartels can bring their merry hijinx to America? They're all a bunch of triators!
