Mexico, not a safe place for Americans...Honestly not a safe place for Mexicans either.
So why is their so many Americans being killed in Mexico and nothing being said in the MSM? are they not High Profile deaths? Not enough controversy surrounding their deaths?
or is it more of the same BS of not saying anything other than Mexico is a beautiful and safe place to visit?

Homicide was the leading cause of death for 119 U.S. citizens who died in Mexico and were reported to the U.S. State Department between Jan. 1 and June 30, according to statistics.
Sixty-five Americans died as a result of shootings and other violent crimes; 12 of them were killed in Juárez and 13 in Tijuana. Both are border cities with high levels of drug violence.
One homicide of a U.S. citizen was reported during that period in Meoqui, Chihuahua, and another one died in a vehicle accident, also in Chihuahua.
"The number of U.S. citizens reported to the Department of State as murdered in Mexico increased from 35 in 2007 to 111 in 2010," the State Department said in a statement.
Figures suggest that homicides involving U.S. citizens could surpass last year's total.

North Korea threatens US prisoner Aijalon Gomes
The Norks Stepping up the B.S quite a bit with this , threatening to deliver harsher punishment to a U.S. Citizen because they don't want to hear any more about their sinking of a South Korean Ship !
I have no sympathy for this Man , it is pretty obvious that you should stay away from the North Korean Border (Especially being a U.S. Citizen) , Regardless of his intentions , He put himself in this situation when he did not need to , He tempted fate and now he is paying for it .
But for the Norks to threaten a Harsher RE-sentencing , it is Nothing short of crossing way over the line .
If they move forward on this though , You can bet That Obama Will back down !

North Korea has threatened harsher punishment for a jailed US citizen who is serving eight years' hard labour for illegally entering the country.
Aijalon Mahli Gomes, a former English teacher in South Korea, was arrested in January after crossing from China.
North Korea said it would use "wartime law" against the 30-year-old if the US continued its "hostile approach" over the sinking of a South Korean warship.
An international inquiry found a North Korean torpedo sank the Cheonan.
According to North Korea's state news agency, US requests to free Gomes will not be accepted while the dispute over the sinking of the warship continues.
Instead the Korean Central News Agency says "there remains only the issue of what harsher punishment will be meted out to him".
"If the US persists in its hostile approach, the latter will naturally be compelled to consider the issue of applying a wartime law to him," state media reported.
Analysts say "wartime law" could mean a life sentence or the death penalty.
