I live at the border doing half my activities in Mexico and half in US soil. People know this and I'm alive. My car has American plates, too. I get treated like royalty.
Truth is that there is a lot of violence in Mexico. The drug cartels have taken over parts of our country and the ignorant have applauded their charity making them seem like heroes. It makes me sick when I hear educated people listening to mafia music at their events.
Have I ever encountered the mafia? No. I have traveled in all of Baja California and not once had a problem. I have also been to Ciudad Juarez and plan on never going again. It's like a war zone with the military guarding the streets and bullet proof cars with criminals threatening it.
It depends on where you go and your purpose. If you are not involved in criminal activity, you have little chances of getting hurt. The whole thing of getting killed at the side of the road is not a common thing. You sound like the Mexicans that say, "I'm never going to US because they are packed with serial killers and crazy mass murderers that kill everybody at the movies and school."
Anyway, have fun Dreaming, and I hope you enjoy the beauty of the pretty places and the yummy food. Muah!
