Wait until the daily murders in Nuevo Laredo spreads across the border into Laredo. The Sheriff there openly admits he doesn't have the manpower to stop it (from spreading) and he's not getting the help he has been promised.

The same things going on in Nuevo Laredo is/has spread to former vacation resorts like Rosarita Beach, especially since the former drug lord of the area is now mayor of Tijuana....

Rosarita is a place we used to go to on holiday weekends like this one and would not even venture across the border these days.
