From the crescent bay and swaying palms, the taxi drivers of Acapulco need just 10 minutes to reach this other, plundered world. Here, in a neighborhood called Renacimiento, a pharmacy is smeared with gang graffiti. Market stalls are charred by fire. Taco stands and dentists’ offices, hair salons and auto-body workshops — all stand empty behind roll-down metal gates.

I wonder how many of our illegals were wanted for murder before entering the USA? I wonder how many were child molesters? Other violent offenders?
The left tells me I am racist for even asking these questions. Personally, I think these are good common sense questions to ask before allowing anyone to be here.
I have friends from Acapulco. They don’t go back to visit.
Anyone who’s idea of a vacation is to go to a God Forsaken, Third World hell hole to live amongst the savages like a king gets what they deserve when a calamity is put upon them and they realize that there is no law or recourse.
A difficult lesson, but a valuable one non the less.
This article is obviously in error:
since Alcapulco has zero Confederate monuments, I am 100% sure that Alcapylco is an absolute Paradise.
Great argument for a Border Wall.
I’ve been to Cancun a few times; the last time about 10 years ago. Never again.
I would not go to Mexico.
Shame. My parents honeymooned there in 1957.
I wish we could get the Skittles analogy spreading again. It makes the perfect case for why we need to control immigration.
Went to Cancun about 5 years ago....never again. If you can’t leave the “compound” aka:resort, or they tell you to stay on the bus until you get to your destination, or they tell you to only get in specific vehicles to take you to an airport authorized by the hotel, you are in a chit hole....
I lived in Mexico for three years in the late 70’s. I drove all over the country, walked alone in poor neighborhoods, took public transportation, shopped where locals shopped, etc. and never once felt threatened. And I don’t look Mexican at all. It used to be one of the safest countries on earth. I know some people here don’t share my views but I’m just heartsick to read things like this.
Post of the week.
Pre-Nixon US local police and Mexican local police had a good, close working relationship. Each would give a heads up on bad guys fleeing the other way. Local police were the major means of deportation... and they focused on the bad guys... An immigrant (legal or illegal) is drunk and disorderly? Deport. An immigrant in Domestic violence? Deport. DUI? Deport. No cost of court. No cost of jail. Just Deport.
Then Nixon’s INS stepped in and centralized all power in the Federal Government. They sat in their offices and had no clue who the bad guys were. They engaged in endless hand wringing and indecision asking “What should we do?”
Over time the INS became staffed with political corruption. You want the INS to process some paperwork? Well hire the brother-in-law or business partner of one of the INS employees. That will speed up the process, depending on how many times they think they can bite you for more money. INS gets a bad reputations? Change the name to ICE. Cool.
Can't talk her into it if I wanted to, and I no longer want to.
It would have been, except Cortez was a white devil, attacking the peaceful and idyllic Aztecs.

Weren’t most Aztecs brain surgeons?
Heart surgeons.
