That should do wonders for their tourism industry. F U Mexico, here comes the Turks and Caicos.

OK by me but they’d get more money by letting Americans in for free and then charging them to leave.

Mexico already shakes-down tourists. Granted, that is done by local cops and not the government.

Please also require mandatory rapes and robbery at the border, it will save time and have the same effect.

We thought of it first. It's what Americans do.

Have Mexicans ever invented anything besides gun running?

We call that jail here in the US. It is a common practice in many 3rd world countries.

We were robbed royally. But it was the six weeks of barfing that really upset our lives.

If we want to be treated like crap by Mexicans we no longer have to travel all the way to Mexico.

Now days most of us just have to travel across town.

Yes, brilliant idea Mexico.

Promote less American tourism to your country. I’m sure the loss of all that disposable Gringo income will not be missed!

Hey Canadian friends- supply and demand is about to make your next Cancun vacation a lot less expensive!
