Is crime really as bad as people say it is along the US and mexico border?
I've heard that in the 80s and 90s Americans used to always cross to mexico for drugs and prostitution and all the cities there had areas dedicated for pimps and drug dealers.
Everyone on travel sites seems to just warn people not to cross the border at all, but surely it can't be that bad. Obviously people have to go back and forth so I can't see how it's true.
Does everyone in border towns just stockup on guns and hope for the best? lol

AZ fag here. There are signs starting at 30 miles from the border put up by the border patrol advising citizens to arm themselves before going any further.
Got pulled over north of Nogales once and all the cop said was he wanted to make sure we had a firearm. My friends and I showed him our rifles and he wished us a safe trip

What about vacations and stuff to mexico? It seems like it's only been in the past 10 years or so that people say not to cross the border.
Like there's all the americans that brag about going to mexico in the 80s and seeing prostitutes fucking donkeys, which is basically a pop culture token nowadays.
Like how would you say do a vacation down to cancun or something via driving? Do you have to avoid the border city crossings?

Went to Baja for spring break. If you're not flying, you're advised not to leave major highways and bring your own gas in cans. Certain tourist areas of Mexico are very profitable to the state and therefore safe. Coincidentally all the signs are in English and everyone speaks English.

Well I've been to mexico once before but we flew in and I just stayed at a resort lol
I just find it weird that their GDP keeps increasing but everyone says things are way shittier. Like I met someone from Laredo and she was saying you could hear gunfire across the border all the time and Americans that crossed the border for drugs and sex usually were murdered or kidnapped.
Seems weird to me considering I've heard all these stories of guys in the 80s basically using mexico as their degenerate playground lol

I went to Cancun with my family as a kid. Our flight was from Houston to Cancun though, never set foot in the shitty parts of Mexico and spent the entire time in the resorts built for white people.

What's life like in Juarez? Were you there when stuff like in the movie Sicario was going down? That was I think 10+ years ago, not sure if that was all fictional either.
They don't teach us anything about mexico in Canada I only really know what Americans tell everyone lol
