Travel Warning

[Terry C]

TRAVEL WARNING ISSUED ON TRAVEL TO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!

This is due in part to almost 500 people per year being murdered in Arizona alone (just under 20,000 "reported" annually) and, a member of Congress being shot in broad daylight in Tucson. Please exercise extreme caution when entering this country...............

Right on, Terry!

Not to mention the traffic fatalities and robberies.

A shooting recently occured about a mile from our granddaughter's home in Phoenix - yet they are concerned about driving down here - go figure. And she knows that we make the trip back and forth across the border without any concerns. Yet she reads the newspaper and listens to the TV news and friends - and she used to come down here all the time as a child and had wonderful times. Our niece just said, "Oh, you won't get us down there - it is too dangerous!" and they have had murders and drive-by shootings happen with in short distances from them. Some people get a mind set about a country and they are only willing to listen to things that agree with that mind set - forget logic.

There were 175 homicides in LA County between Jan. 1 and Apr. 24, 2011. If you have a concern for the health and safety of you and your family, vacation in Puerto Penasco instead!!!
