Texas Travel Advisory regarding Mexico: [1]. See also here for similar U.S. warnings [2].
The Texas Department of Public Safety warned Americans to skip spring break vacations in Mexico, noting that ongoing violence poses a significant safety threat.
The warning —which adds to State Department advisories not to travel to large swathes of the country — comes in the wake of the kidnapping of four Americans in Mexico earlier this month. There’s a “Level 4: Do Not Travel” advisory for Tamaulipas, the Mexican state the Americans were in when they were kidnapped.
In the meantime, here are the numbers of murders [3] over the past year in various American cities:
Portland Oregon: 93
Philadelphia: 516
San Antonio: 231
Saint Louis: 200
Memphis: 288
New Orleans: 280
Chicago: 697
Houston: 435
Washington DC: 203
Kansas City: 167
