Traveling to Mexico may be dangerous


Are you planning to visit Mexico anytime soon? Well, the truth is that some US authorities are now advising everyone willing to travel to Mexico to think twice before going there as it is getting a more dangerous place as the days pass! Below is another msnbc.com article telling you the whole story in detail:

"

MEXICO CITY - The U.S. State Department has renewed a travel advisory warning Americans about an increase in violence along the U.S.-Mexico border.

The alert does not recommend staying away from the country or any particular part of it, but advises American to stay away from prostitution and drug-dealing areas.

It recommends visiting only legitimate business and tourist areas.

The alert issued Friday says violent crime is particularly worrisome along the U.S.-Mexico border, where automatic weapons and grenades have been used in clashes between police and drug traffickers.

More than 6,000 people were killed in drug violence in Mexico last year.
