Mexico is not Reynosa. Mexico is not Nuevo Laredo. Mexico is not Tijuana. And so on. Mexico is not one city. In general, Mexico does not have murders like the USA does. Drug gangs and soldiers slug it out. Drug gangs kill other drug gangs.
With about five million Americans tourists a year and about one million living in Mexico, the murder rate for Americans is around one per 100,000 or so – about one-sixth the murder rate in the USA.
The bottom line is that you have a darn good chance of getting shot in the USA at a parking lot of a shopping center, a Wal-Mart, a school, a post office etc. In fact, you have a greater chance of getting shot there than in Mexico. People hear the big numbers of killings but don't take into account that they refer to non-tourists. In terms of highway robberies, yes, sometimes they happen, but they happen in the USA too. Don't drive big, $50,000 pickups and SUV's and you won't get carjacked.更多精彩文章及讨论,请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net
