The article Mexican Official: US travel warning 'Ridiculous' was about the drug situation in Mexico. Some claim that it is dangerous for Americans to travel there. " The State Department issued an updated travel warning Feb. 8 urging travelers to "defer nonessential travel" to 14 of Mexico's 31 states due to drug-related violence that has cost more than 47,500 lives since 2006." Although others say that this drug problem is overrated. "The warning notes "millions of U.S. citizens safely visit Mexico each year" and resort areas are generally safer." The thing is that drug related problems have been happening throughout Mexico for years. According to Chris Mexicano, the ghettos in Mexico are full of drugs and violence. "...All these dope fiends walking down the street, All high on drugs tripping over their own feet, People getting shot just down the block... People in alleys injecting drugs into their arms..." All over Mexico there are drug problems. It is part of the 'culture' of Mexico. Thousands of killings happen each year due to the drug related problems. " 14 of Mexico's 31 states due to drug-related violence that has cost more than 47,500 lives since 2006." Do not worry Mr. Poire of Mexican interior department says that thousands of people travel to Mexico each year unharmed and that security is not an issue. "Interior Department Alejandro Poire says million of tourists visit Mexico without incident. Poire told a news conference Tuesday that he believes "these alerts overstate or misstate the standards and security situation that exists in our country." Have fun, although Mexico is known for its' drug problems, it is still a culturally rich and diverse country with fun traditions to explore!
