Remember band leader Doc Severinsen from Johnny Carson Tonight show? Doc lives in Mexico now. He tours in USA, we saw him recently in concert in Texas. He performed with his band Ritma de la Vida.
Also, a friend of mine lived in Mexico, on a temporary job relocation when her kids were babies. She loved it. She could easily afford a nanny, a cook, a gardener, a driver, etc. She has none of that here in Texas.
Anyone living or even vacationing in Mexico is out of their minds. Over 50 Americans kidnapped down there last year.
Here ya go...this is Mexico....warning VERY GRAPHIC.

THE WAR NEXT DOOR

[snips]“How do you begin to understand that so many people are dying in Mexico? More than 5,000 casualties because of “narcotrafficking.” That’s more than all of the American troops that have died fighting an actual war in Iraq.”
One grisly new tactic is beheadings. A headless corpse hung above a busy highway almost two hours before police covered it with a sheet - the head found in a nearby park.
In Tijuana, nine men were decapitated last month, three of them policemen, their badges stuck in their mouths - some of the 40 murders in Tijuana occurred in just one weekend.
