    Mexico is a beautiful country, and ordinary Mexicans are a great people disarmed and left helpless by their corrupt ruling political class.
    IOW, avoid Mexico like the plague.

    Mexicans are great. Their government is the problem. Government is the problem everywhere.

    I hear you. I've been to Panama City Beach but the water is dirty. I guess I'd have to go further east to the other side of Florida to get that nice clear water.

    Go to the Keys :) (that's another favorite of ours)

    Florida has some pretty east coast beaches, but nothing like the blue of the Keys.

    The DMV I use is in a small town next to my even smaller town. The most people I've seen in it is 4, and that includes the 2 workers. The one here in the city I work in will have you waiting for at least 2 hours. I still remember when I went in for my driver's test back in '94. I drove one block. Thinking I would be coming up on the parallel parking and such, the instructor told me to pull into the DMV and that was it, lol, I was done. About one mile and 2 minutes of driving.

    Our vacations are usually either Panama City Beach, Beaver's Bend in Broken Bow, OK, or camping in the mountains somewhere in TN or WY. We live in northwest LA so Broken Bow is where we go if we just want a long weekend getaway. It's just 3 hours northwest.

    Few things are more sobering than waiting in line at a California DMV.

    Its like going on safari, for 4 hours at a time.

    Hell, we have had more school children killed in the US in 20 minutes. Don't know why you're freaking out.

    I have been into Tijuana a few times and once drove out of the city headed to the coast. Dirty corrupt town. Looks bad the last time I was there. A lot of neat merchandise if you enjoy such shopping.

    Yeah it's like that where I live now.

    The one's in California are like the 10th circle of hell.

    The line wraps around the building multiple times, I kid you not. I was there for almost 8 hours and all I needed was an updated printout of my vehicle registration.

    Mexicans didn't kill those people in Mexico, the guns did, right? Now all they need is some 17 year old kid to go on TV and tell everyone guns are the problem, not people.

    And it's funny how you chose schools in your example where the shootings are relatively few compared to the democrat controlled killing zones.

    For an on-the-spot report from Mexico by an American who lives there, an ur-conservative former Marine and police reporter, see Fred On Everything.
    Trigger-warning: if you are of a delicate constitution, don't go there.

    Hey, I pointed out a simple fact. No need to go all hormonal.

    The left would import this here under the guise of multiculturalism.

    I'd rather make the drive than be surrounded by crack heads and guys in full body armor protecting the DMV.

    Americans shouldn't feel left out or discouraged. We're doing our best to import this violence right now.

    the important thing to understand here is that the violence is related to drug cartels. 3 million tourists from North America go to Mexico every year. I can guarantee you at least two or three of them come back alive.

    Losing mountains of tourist revenue will push south-of-the-border shitholes further and further into quasi-official Narco Statedom

    I'll bet my house against a bag of donuts Vicente Fox, Enrico Nieto, and tens of thousands of other politicos, cops, generals, prosecutors, judges and jailers have hundreds of billions stashed away in secret offshore accounts.
