I was born and raised in Juarez Mexico. Unfortunately as of late the cartels in Juarez and other Mexican cities fear their competition more than any and every level of the judiciary.

I have visited a large number of cities in North America with very few negative encounters. A few streetwise individuals advised me that the most successful way of traveling from point A to point B is wherever you are just look like you belong there.
 
Mexico is beautiful. I could live there. I try to study spanish a bit daily. I find that people give mexico and mexicans a bad rap. They must think all those cartels are coming to the US unaided and ultimately consuming their own products. Just as they believe a wall is effective.
 
Everything has changed. When I lived in Albuquerque during the early to mid 1970s I used to go into Juarez for a couple of days mostly for the huevos ranceros but I didn't like the stripe-painted burros. The best entertainment was the El Paso border cops searching my car for drugs. They'd look under the seats and unscrew the air filter and ask me what I was brigning back from Mexico. I had long hair back then so I knew they were going to search my car no matter what I said so I'd always intimidate them by replying "Good memories, vato." :cool:

Everyone I knew in NM took their car to Juarez to be painted. Not only because it was cheaper but also because the Mexicans did a more professional job. Mexicans are not lazy.

Mexicans and Cubans are the best mechanics with older equipment as they didn't have high tech equipment and their skillset using older equipment was handed down from their elders.
