“From the delicious food to the cultural richness, Mexico has its own unique perks that make it one of the world’s greatest places,” began an articleon BuzzFeed.
A YouTube video titled “Why Mexico Is Finally Becoming a Rich Country” argued that economic growth in Mexico is outpacing the U.S. A travel blog making the case that life in Mexico is better than the U.S. said, “Mexico has something for everyone, and it’s one of the most varied countries I’ve ever been to.”
If one of the things you want is narco-cartelsrunning the governmentand open warfare in the streets, Mexico has that for you, while the U.S. does not. And you only have President Trump to blame.
Mexicancartel violencehas sparked growing concern about tourism in Jalisco state ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The unrest followed a military operation in which Mexican forces killed Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, known as “El Mencho,” leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel.
More than 70 people died during the operation and its aftermath, and clashes between the cartel and security forces spread across several states. The U.S. government provided intelligence support, and officials viewed the killing as a major blow to fentanyl trafficking networks.
In tourist towns such as Tapalpa and the resort city of Puerto Vallarta, residents and visitors expressed fear that violence and cartel reprisals could damage the local economy. Business owners who depend on tourism worry that international attention to the bloodshed will discourage visitors. Some tourists reported seeing explosions and smoke, and had flights delayed or canceled.
While Mexico’s government hopes the cartel leader’s death will ease pressure from President Trump to crack down on criminal groups, many residents remain uncertain whether the violence will subside or escalate further.
Parts of Mexico have issued shelter-in-place orders as rival gangs build flaming barricades, blockade streets, and drive around in armored cars wearing military uniforms and killing people, the way liberals falsely claim ICE is doing in the U.S. They should probably watch some of these videos and see if they can spot ten differences between ICE and a gang of armed thugs.
Americanliberals on vacationin Mexico are posting on social media, demanding that President Trump rescue them from cartel violence. Ironically, these are the same liberals who protest against the border wall and ICE deportations of cartel and gang members.
This is right up there with Mexicans waving Mexican flags at anti-ICE protests, saying how much better Mexico is than the U.S., although they are willing to break the law and fight tooth and nail rather than be sent back there.
