the media, it appears to be BAD? Yes of course there are many countries with qualities of life much less desirable than Mexico"s. However, how many DEMOCRACIES have as much violence, poverty and pollution as Mexico? I live in a "border town" in the USA. From everything I see and hear about Mexico on the news it's amazing to me that any of it's citizens still live there by choice. Is the media distorting just how bad things are there?
 
Mexico consists of two classes.

Filthy rich and dirt poor.
The poor do not dwell on what they don't have, they are thankful for what they do have.
Reduced tourism is killing them.

I've seen both sides during many visits to Mexico.

Today, daily life is lived in Fear.

Drug cartels have so much cash, they can buy just about anyone, but the alternative is to be killed.
 
Look unafortunatly we have a big problem that we can not change and its that we have USA as a neighbourgs, (i am not saying that you americans are bad people, in fact i have met several americans and i have good friendship with them) but since we are in your down border for years we have let you guys to use us as your backyard, and therefore as your garbage country. You say that there is too much pollution in our country, yes unafortunatly it is like this and specially in popullated areas like Mexico city and borders cities. From Mexico city i would say that big populatios always cause environmental damages in every where of the world, but in the case of borders cities in North, i have to say that in order to keep clean and free of Toxic materials and toxic residues to your country (USA) our freacking goverments have let you guys to come and throw in the dessert and border areas all of that toxics materials that your industries produce. And also because unafortunatly for a lot of mexicans is difficult to get a new car, since the aproval of NAFTA, beside all the advantages your country got one of them was a easy way to get rid of all of the old cars that are forbidden to use in your country and instead of having big car's junk areas they got the opportunity to sell almost for free to us the stupids mexicans, and as i told you alot of people who are poor are getting this as an "opportunity" to have something to make easier their lifes (with out taking in account the big damage their are causing to our environment in Mexico).
Mexico is a risk country? Unafortunatly yes, media does not lie this time, there are several reazons for that one of this is the lack of opportunities that our country gives to people, like employs, another is that not every one have acces to universities and one of the most important facts its that thanks to the great consumption of drugs that people in your country have, the bussines of drugs in my country became a big resource of easy money for those who are unnemployed or those who could not get a university degree, so it is proportional while the use of drugs is increasing in USA the producers are expanding theirs zones, before it use to be Colombia but for the lucky of the country and the unlucky narcotraficants, this country is far away of USA and therefore the cost of produce and distribution in your country was higher than being close to the big costumer, and then this is another thing why i am saying unafortunattly for us your country is our neighbourg, now we have narcotraficants here who are very happy to being well stablished close to you guys so that their monetary benefit will be less dimished by extra cost. and then problems of having them here is that they just not produce drugs they are fomenting all kind of bad things like murdering, kidnapping stealing in order to create a big kaos in our already weak society and also create the fear factor among the society so that they now have their owns kindoms within our country...If USA is not able to control the use of drugs our problem of unsecurity will never be solved in our country.
 
It is and isn't that bad over there. Like most other places if you really want to make it you can. Not all Mexico is full of violence, poverty, pollution. Why do you think so many tourist go there? If you talk to someone who is actually from there they will be able to give you a better picture of how Mexico really is. Just letting you know Mexico isn't the worst country like you think. The media isn't always truthful so looking up other sources will help.

I'm from Mexico and I can say that Mexico is basically a victim of a corrupt government.
 
well, considering that Mexico is one of the biggest drugs country's
in mexico most of the ppl are poor,
only few are rich (many from drugs).
i don't really like mexico because its scary in there, if ill sometime go to New Mexico, i might go inside mexico, but ill stay near the US army forces.
