The top police unit in Texas issued a statement on Monday, 13th, urging state citizens not to cross the border to Mexico . The two recent kidnapping and disappearance cases worried American officials, but the Mexican president immediately declared that Mexico is safer than the United States.
Lt. Christopher Olivarez, spokesman for the Texas Department of Public Safety, used a video to urge Texas residents not to travel to Mexico because of recent attacks by Mexican drug cartels on crossing the U.S. border . People pose a very serious threat. It is best to cancel non-essential travel to Mexico. If you must go, it is best to keep in touch with the US consulate. It is best to go in a group and pay attention to the surrounding situation at all times.
In addition, the resorts in Mexico, which used to be specialized in foreign tourism, now have criminal groups robbing, kidnapping, and extorting tourists. The situation is worrying. I hope that the Mexican law enforcement agencies will strictly monitor the situation so that the recent wave of violence will subside as soon as possible. .
Two U.S. citizens from North Carolina were killed and two survived when gunmen abducted four U.S. citizens from Brownsville, Texas, who crossed into Matamoros, Mexico, in February. , three more American women disappeared after crossing the border two weeks ago.
At a press conference held in Mexico City on the 13th, the US media asked Mexican President Lopez Obrador: Is Mexico safe? Obrador seemed to be quite impatient with this question. He said to the reporter: Mexico is safer than the United States. Your media always plays up the news about drug gangs in Mexico, but there are no drug gangs in the United States? So who is spreading the drug epidemic in the United States?
He pointed out that the use of drugs among teenagers in the United States is common. Drugs did not come to the United States from submarines. Balloons are now a popular method. Several tons of drugs can be dropped from the sky at a time, and buyers use the Internet to order. Sellers use balloons to deliver goods, but does your media report on drug cartels in the United States? No, you regard drug trafficking as a monopoly of Mexico!
