Anyone following this? It's very frightening. It reminds of the 80s when a friend visited Cancun and there were police with guns walking the shore.

My son is there filming a documentary. He told me he's way far away from all the riots, but it's still crazy. I'm hoping the kids stay away on spring break. There are lots of other places to go and be in the sun for a week.

Dotsie, we LIVE next to it. They are advising the college students to NOT go to MX, where they usually do go on weekends. There's a HUGE traffic fatality rate for teens here with drunk driving/speeding. It's sad. Drugs have been a problem here for a long, long time. I won't go into it here, but trust me. For YEARS!

I think the whole spring break thing is gross and frightening even without adding in drug wars. These kids seem to be drunk or drugged out of their minds. It's not surprising that bad things happen and that some of them either won't come home or will come home traumatized. (And where do they get the money for all this partying?)

I would think that going to Mexico at this time would be borrowing trouble, but I'm sure a lot of kids either won't care or will think it's thrilling. I really don't feel all that sorry for them; they choose to go and get wild and crazy.

Ellemn many go dutch and others are spoiled rich brats that have parents who pay.

Our govenrment along with Mexicos are warning college girls especially to stay away because the drug cartels kidnap young white women and give or sell them to the higher ups in their food chain. Usually using them for prostitution.

One niniteen year old girl went missing recently while on a shopping trip to Mexico, it was on the Nancy Grace show. She apparently called her father and said she was crossing the border in about half an hour and would be home at such and such a time. She never returned home. Later they found her car abandoned. They said many of the Mexican Policia are corrupt and part of these kidnappings.

Whats with these clueless kids having to leave the safety of the United States of America. There are plenty of gorgeois places right here to see.

Its up to the parents to PUT THEIR FOOT DOWN on the kids leaving this country.

All I know about it, is what I hear on O'Reilly's Factor, The No Spin Zone. But it sounds extremely scary. Back in the early
1990s I worked with a lady who took cruises and traveled via
Mexico. She was told way back then to be very careful because
Americans were being kidnapped even at that time. I agree with
you about parents making their children stay in the States to
vacation. But it seems young people have no fear about anything.

I think I read one time where John Cash and June Carter were
attacked and tormented while vacationing in Mexico. Both of them
seem to go down hill physically after that incident. I've never
been to Mexico but they say it is beautiful.

Huckabee has a segment on the drug wars in Mexico tonight.

I like Huckabee...He'd have made a better choice for the Republican candidate than Mc Cain.

Lets hope these drug wars stay in Mexico... They needn't bring their dirty garbage here, we already have enough of our own.

It is truly scary how this is spilling onto American soil...and that there's already Mexican cartel in every major city in the US...this country's demand for drugs is fueling what's happening...this will never stop...I feel it will only get worse. Our nation changed on 9-11. There is no safe place anymore in the U.S.
