The US has issued a warning for spring breakers who plan to travel to Mexico to exercise 'increased caution.'
As partygoers head to Cancun and Tulum, the U.S. Embassy & Consulates in Mexico have warned people about 'unregulated drinks and synthetic drugs' in the county.
The message, posted on Monday said: 'Travel Smart – Be Informed: Each year, thousands of U.S. citizens visit Mexico during spring break.' It added that 'while the vast majority travel safely,' tourists should still consider the list of specific advisories including, crime, drugs, pharmaceuticals, drownings, and more.

So...basically the same warning you would give a college student in any Democrat controlled city on this side of the border.
Good to know our government,instead of fixing the CRIME problem,gives us lotsa warnings...

You'd have to be a certifiable nutcase to go anywhere in Mexico these days. I have traveled in Mexico, and enjoyed a dinner at a local restaurant where you had better read and speak enough Spanish to get along or things will get....confused. I can do enough hack Spanish to get along with a menu and road signs, mostly, but certainly wouldn't claim to "speak Spanish".
But those days are done, for certain. The extreme violence that is randomly occurring, and the intentional targeting of Americans for kidnapping for ransom and for robbery, no way a sane person should up their risk this much for a cheap Margarita and some "authentic" Mexican food. With half of Mexico living in the USA illegally, you can get plenty of authentic Mexican food here at much lower physical risk.

I have said many times, and will continue to say it, that anyone who travels to Mexico, do so at their own risk. Far too many US citizens have visited down the border and have returned home in a pine box. Just read, and heed.

Hey kids..Enjoy your Spring Break! Since you no longer have to worry about paying back the money you borrowed to go to school, have a great time. Do you know how many times I've gone to Mexico? Zero. Nadda. Zilch. Couldn't afford it and sure don't believe it's up to hard-working American taxpayers to pay my mortgage or car payment so I could go away for a week of drugs, drink and sex.

Do NOT go to Mexico. Not even the fancy “nice” resorts. Of course, as someone posted above, no need as all 65 million will be living here in a few years if the Democrats get their way.

You've got to have rocks in your head to visit Mexico.

We have been going to Mexico, from top to bottom, for twenty years, every year. Not once did I feel threatened. We know where to go and avoid trouble. People who go on minding their regular business are less likely to be molested than your average stupid frat boy in Cancun. To me, Cancun is no more dangerous than Las Vegas.

Cartel Leader: "Jose, round up the troops. Spring Break is coming and our brothels need fresh girls. Tell your drug dealers to make the first hit free, and charge for the rest. I have a new yacht on order and plan on paying in cash."

Any student or parent with half a brain would already know this. I look for the beaches and hotels to be as crowded as ever.
