    I'm not touting the safety of Mexico I'm just pointing out your inexperience and paranoia. Mexico is one of the most corrupt countries on the planet. Learning how to travel in Mexico is really not that difficult a thing to do. Try not to make up too much about what's being said will you

    Another poster assured us that no tourists have been killed in Mexico.

    Which tourists have been killed? Seems like you're having the same reading problems as the creator of the OP who has disappeared from this thread after being informed that none of the 14 killed were tourists

    So knowing the police may target tourists and take their cash or threaten jail time is enough for me to know it's a country I'd rather not visit. Having to "know how to travel" in Mexico is a statement in itself that shows it's not safe.

    every country has its own culture and laws, this is civics 101. Your pitiful list against 3 million tourists shows its plenty safe.

    You're saying Mexico and the U.S. own the top 12 most dangerous cities?
    Worse than Iraq, Syria, Venezuela and Honduras? Wow.

    LOL it's own culture? The police targeting and robbing tourist is "culture" to you?

    You don't get out much do you. What the Mexicans called mordida is actually the case in most of the world. I want to add too that it's obvious you've never been to Louisiana holy crap.

    Maybe you should read it. The State Department issued an advisory warning people NOT to travel to or visit Cancun.
    Much too dangerous.

    Organized crime is everywhere but personally I think it's nuts to "vacation" in a country whose people hate Americans....

    The state department has issued a travel warning for the entire world. You just aren't following this thread.

    You are trying to ignore the part about 3 million tours going to Mexico every year

    Snookered? Is that your cute word for robbed by Mexican police?

    And I'm not a guy, and it was my husband, not me. He was there working, not vacationing.

    Details are your friend.

    The Mexicans are able to divorce Trump from the rest of Americans. I've been to Mexico five or six times and everybody was very friendly.

    Not sure why we don't want to book lots of vacations in a country where you have to watch your back and can't trust the police not to rob you. Sounds like a great time for all.
