Well, it’s too bad that it’s come to this, but there are no alternatives.
The situation in Mexico is out of control, and the United States needs to take measures to protect its people.
I’ve spent most of my life living very close to the border, and danger is very real. It’s in your face everyday.
Protect yourself, protect your family
Unfortunately, it really has come to the point where people living within any reasonable proximity to the border need to start looking after themselves. The violence follows the drugs. Where there’s drugs, there’s violence. Steer clear of it all as best you can, and make sure your family is educated. If you have children, know where their minds are at when it comes to drugs. The act of buying the drug might be more dangerous than the act of taking the drug.
Don’t live in fear, but keep in all in mind. Do your best to avoid any situations before you find yourself in the middle of one.
