This is why you ALWAYS use Uber or taxis in Tijuana. I never take my car to Mexico, you’re a target to extortionists and even Mexican police will stop you to take your money or impound your car. I’m Mexican so helping you guys out
The Uber and taxis are in on this too, aren't they? Nice try
Fix your country
ive gone to mexico with my own car and thankfully nothing happened to me
@@JaneTheDoe-id2vx Oh, then I guess there's no problem since you went there. Great logic!
@@d.fenestrator9529 not saying its safe, just said nothing happened to me and im thankful. i was careful though and left valuables at home in the usa
Just DONT GO TO MEXICO point blank.
where should we go now ?
Yeah, why go to Mexico when the government is importing Mexico here
@@marinearenaswimmingpools5320 you can still go, you don’t have to take his advice
Exactly, why visit a country so corrupt that people are fleeing.
Stupid
Especially if you are part of the rainbow bunch.😊
As a Mexican I can tell you, don’t go to Mexico
I agree.. Even the mayor just got killed recently 🤦🤧
@@adden2242 yeah I saw that, and I don’t see Mexico getting better anytime soon, the lack of political will to do something about it due to how rooted corruption is is just beyond disheartening
As a Korean I say don’t go to Mexico. Common sense
That’s not the answer , probably don’t take ur vehicle, anyway aren’t Americans flocking to Mexico to work remotely?
yet most of you wave the Mexico flag and never wave the American flag yet dont want to live there. You cant make this kind of ignorance up. Half Mexican here btw!
I went to Tj like 5 years ago with my auntie got stopped by their police for no freakin reason and they asked us for $20 each! They said supposedly we violated some bs law but we were just walking around and talking 😂 they stole $40 from us! Never went back since 👎
this is common. you got away safe and for cheap
Stole? Just $40?
Compared to other bribes, you got off easy.
Americans are targeted in a lot of countries. Check the governments travel warnings. Don’t drive your car into/across Mexico, that’s ridiculous.
Ensenada Rosarito isn’t on that list. It’s a very popular spot for cruise ships and tourists from all over the world
Not Mexico though just odd occurance sometimes
All of Mexico is dangerous @@SPUTNIK6996
@@SPUTNIK6996 ...........
All northern Mexico, north of DF (capital) is riddled with cartel
That includes ensenada, its been super dangerous since the early 2000s
I've travelled all over latin america......... besides a couple surf trips, anything north of DF besides Guanajuato is bad news
That happens everyday is just that now is reported only once a month
It’s become the norm, sadly.
I’ve experienced this myself while in that area but it was at the hands of police!! I’m too scared to go thru there now, it’s a popular tourist spot and that’s exactly why it’s targeted by cops and criminals. It’s sad and awful.
You know why his story made the news.
You can see he was a beautiful soul. I'm sorry for your loss. It will take time for you to adjust to not having him physically present. May he rest peacefully and I send you and your family much love 💯💯💯💜💜💜
GOD BLESS HER AND HER FAMILY JESUS LOVES YOU ALL GOD BLESS ✝️🙏😊❤️
Not physically present you mean dead he's dead
@@EM-mh4fw We are energy... Energy changes form...
Reason why I never go to Mexico. That new lady President who just took the office won't make any difference.
So sorry for your loss. May your family be together at this time. Be there for the survivors. May your brother RIP.
I live in south central LA some dude got killed outside my apartment......everywhere is dangerous
Every where is not dangerous, in the USA Democrat run cities are.
Well that's South Central dude. I grew up there. 😂
South central and Mexico are the same thing
@@homiedclown2623True plus Iraq or Chicago and Mexico as the whole entire country of it on corruption and war and bloodshed.
Bro just TJ alone got over 1500 murders this year. Don't even try to compare the danger levels 😂😂😂
I'm so sorry I can't imagine. sending you hugs and prayer.
hahahahahahahahaha
🕊🌹RIP🥺
There has been a lot of killings in Mexico lately..my cousin and her bf got shot in Sinaloa a couple of days ago … her boyfriend died
Was he white are mex 🇲🇽
did they get robbed? drug deal gone bad? what happened?
That’s Sinaloa it’s hot asf over there, you can’t look the part man
Yeah Sinaloa is a completely different thing right now
Very sorry to hear this 🙏🏻
Boycott that Norco Country!
Boycott as in stop buying their products? Yea ok supply and demand buddy no one is gonna stop buying drugs
You think only Mexican criminal organizations sell drugs. If Mexico didn't have cartels, other countries in Latin America would have them aside from Colombia. There is always going to be supply and demand for drugs unfortunately.
How if it’s biggest customer is the 🇺🇸
Do u mean Narco and not Norco?
The problem isn’t just Mexico. It’s just knowing where you’re at. I’ve been to Mexico hundreds of times and I can always tell you, never make eye contact with anyone, mind your business, and try to blend in with crowd. Also don’t wear nothing too flashy like jewelry.
The eye contact couldn’t say it enough especially people that look like they play the part.
"don't make eye contact"
What a joke
I speak fluent spanish, backpack all over Mexico and talk to literally every single person I see
And I DON'T avoid eye contact............................ basically just stay out of North Mexico (stay south of Mexico city)
Reading what you advise I have to ask: Why would ANYONE want to go there, to visit that hell hole and financially support a corrupt country? Why?
@@kevinbarry3548not diminishing how corrupt Mx is but the US is also up their. FEMA literally just stoled help funds for NC and other affected areas and don’t count on Florida getting help for Milton, and yet they sent out to Lebanon in same week billions. What a joke. Don’t talk about Mx being a hellhole when Us is turning into 3rd world with Harris and Biden administration
Mexico is a completely failed Narco State. The entire nation is run by the drug cartels paramilitary organizations. All politicians take the silver…and not the lead. The country is beyond repair💯👎🏽
DON'T.GO.TO.MEXICO.
I live in Tijuana work in san diego for the last 7 years no issues and saving money up , something I couldn't do living in the US
Dont go to Louisiana, Tennessee, Ohio or Alabama!!!!!!! FOR STARTERS, PSH.
And don't go to New York City, California, or Arizona...
DONT GO TO MEXICO!!!!! Words to live by!! 😂😂
I am truly sorry for your loss. This was totally senseless.
Trump was right when he referred to that country as a hellhole.
Yeah crazy that what Canada says about your public school you guys have a shooting every other week
❤
Exactly!
ahhh, the russian bot using common american names of pasttimes to incite hate. Imagine using the name Pokemon Trainer Vince. LMAOOOOO
Yeah because kids aren't getting shot up here all the time or cops killing unarmed civilians or using brutal force because of their soft egos & itchy trigger fingers. As soon as you say Trump was right you lose all credibility. A guy who claims Biden didn't send help for hurricane victims even though mayor said other wise. Or how about when he said he was building a wall & having Mexico pay which didnt happen. How about when he claimed Haitian immigrants are eating pets again government officials, police & citizens debunked that. Or maybe when he said covid can be cured by spraying disinfectant in your mouth or how he said covid wasnt serious & would be gone without a vaccine again didnt happen. Dont even get me started on his crimes both that hes already been convicted of & others he hasn't. You say Mexico is a hell hole yet there the politicians didn't claim rigged election & also the last & now president elect both praised each other unlike politicians here that rather trash any1 who doesnt share their views or that rather talk about some1's fake eyelashes than actual issues.
Advice for those that go to Mexico. Never ever take a Dodge Charger, Dodge Challenger, SUVs, but surely never ever take a Truck. A pickup Truck at that. If you or any family members want to live.
Can you explain? Just out of curiosity. Why do they target those vehicles?
so sorry
It’s almost like they’ve said not to go to Mexico for the last 20 years… gee I wonder why 🤦♂️
Right
Last 15 years. Last i went it was still kind of safe.
Is there a safe area for tourism purposes, or is it like this everywhere?
Victim blaming
34 million Americans visited Mexico last year. The odds seem ok.
I have a friend who was born in Mexico. Her family came here when she was 12 - her mother was born in Galveston, TX, so they were able to legally live here. She has relatives who live in Mexico and she says she will not go there to visit them. They are welcome to come here to visit her, but she says it is much too dangerous to visit them. My sincere condolences to this family and prayers sent.
If you go to Mexico on your own in a car or on a plane… I give people this advise. Dress MODESTLY.. don’t go wearing a bunch of brand named clothes. It’s gonna make you stand out too much. Also if someone asks you for directions, don’t answer. Many people who are trying to rob people ask tourists for directions. If you don’t know then they will know you’re most likely a tourist. Try and blend in, and if you are driving into Mexico. BRING an older car… like a 2002 Honda or something like that or a car that’s super modest and doesn’t stand out. Also try and stay in areas with heavy military presence. It’s better not to drive into Mexico with an American license plate though. Use public transport
The beater car is the real real, I saw this white guy go into Tijuana with a lifted jeep gladiator and a boat. I’m like wtf this mofo ain’t coming back!!
The fact you gotta do that though is sad because theres a 90% chance of you getting robbed or killed. No freedom there when it comes to how you wanna dress or drive
2nd American killed in the last week
How many Americans get shot and killed in the US ? .........everyday 😅😂
What happened with the other?
That you know of and made the news trust me there’s a lot more
And how many died here in the US this past week?
so people are just getting shot while driving no warning no chance of survival??? People stop going to shitxico stay home and stay alive! it's not worth losing your life.
and here it is, the media darling... fyi people get shot 10x more for no reason in california and chicago alone..
and yes this is ensanada.. a US/Mexico border town... iliterate
yeah why go there when you have Figueroa Street in your town
My gosh! Don't know why people still go over there!? My mom's friend niece went over there and ended up dead with a missing head!
Sad
My uncle’s cousin’s nephew’s son in law lives there and he says it’s great.😅😅😅
@Plutogalaxy That's good to know.
@@Plutogalaxy😂😂😂😂 right
@@Plutogalaxy my step brothers step brothers cousins aunts step nephew twice removed
see this is why i dont go to mexico, I be scared for my life like i really wanna go but i dont wanna risk it.
He was the same age as my son, I’m so sorry for this family. RIP young Gentleman! The violence is sickening
I would not visit Mexico if they paid me
ikr
I got to mexico often
eat tacos, get laid, party
Then again I know spanish, know how to make friends and avoid danger
And I know to run or fight if need be
Been saying for years. Do not go to mexico,I don't care who you know or where you think you are going.
I'm Mexican and Mexico it's a lost country
I’m part Argentinian and I agree with you.
I will never visit Mexico rip and condolences to the family
Know your surroundings.
That's not always effective
That is so sad! 😢prayers for the family
Im tired of these people saying “those are very very rare interactions, the rest of mexico is beautiful” im not hearing it cuz theres always an attack every start and end of the week!
FYI: Mexico has a very strict gum control laws.
Yes but America keeps sending guns to cartels in Mexico
Gums can be scary but I’d be more scared of guns
If mexico had the right to bear arms then it would give people the chance to defend themselves and deter crime
@@Wizard_of_ZaZa You do realize most the rest of the world looks at the crime in US with horror.
@@b14m23right
Man y’all can have Mexico I’m good ✌🏾 RIP
💯
IT IS NOT ABOUT “MEXICO”. NO COMMENTS SHOWING LOVE AND SUPPORT TO THE FAMILY STRICKEN WITH THIS LOSS. I AM PRAYING FOR YOU ALL. GOD PUT HIM THERE AT THAT TIME AND PLACE IN THE WHOLE WORLD. IT HURTS BECAUSE WE DO NOT KNOW. HIS SHELL IS GONE BUT YOUR SON IS WHEREVER HE FEELS HIS ENERGY IS NEEDED. YOUR LOVE FOR HIM WILL STAY ALWAYS. ❤ HE KNOWS.
I love how I don’t even have to know you that well in order to tell that you’re someone truly amazing ❤
Highway bandits - but don’t worry, people will still say Mexico is the safest country on the planet - don’t pay attention to that headless mayor in that Mexican city either
Rule #1 when traveling: Stay in your car and avoid making "pit stops" GET TO YOUR DESTINATION. Ill bet money they stopped somewhere (got sized up) then followed. Criminals always "scout" the weakest link. Chances are the were being loud laughing Americans in a OXXO taking selfies would be enough to paint a big red target on yourself. Remember you are not in America, dont walk around like you have rights in Mexico. Dont be upset with me this advice may safe your life.✌️
So sorry to hear about your loved ones Mexico is crazy right now I wouldn't go there for free , again so sorry to hear about your brother....
For the last 3 years I've been wanting to take my mom to Cancun to visit, but someone just got executed on the beach there again! Mexico is wild man
Not a coincidence, from the minute you step in Mexico 🇲🇽 you are being Tracked ,Followed and Watched .
Why are people still going over there? There is no rights for the americans over there.
Right
Americans are gentrifying to Mexico City tho
all the money we waste in the middle east when we should be protecting our border
Why are people still traveling to that place? smh
Right
Oh my god.. Why are you guys still going to Mexico? Im a filipino.. Even I know Mexico is Not a safe place to be 🤦🤦🤨
I'm sorry ma'am 🙏🏾
Guns are illegal in Mexican. Guns laws work!
I always wanted to go to Mexico but I’m too afraid of the cartel 😂
Same
Parts of LA and SD are more dangerous than parts of Mexico
Yucatan, Campeche specifically is very safe........ safest place in Mexico
But basically EVERYTHING north of mexico city is so dangerous I don't even bother
And thats saying a lot, because I camp all over the world, camped all over Mexico, Colombia etc
Cartels probably less an issue than street criminals/addicts
@@tremblence Very good to hear about the safe and dangerous parts of Mexico. I have the “American bias” educated by propaganda media. 😂
I completely understand how parts of LA and SD can be more dangerous. It’s fascinating to hear you’ve visited all those places.
@@heightsofsagarmatha 🤔 makes sense. My head has been filled with American media propaganda which u know it’s not all true. 😆
Seems sketchy! There is more to the story!
You were dropped in the delivery room, werent you
@@vicdog4440lol
I’m part Latino myself and I would much rather go to Nordic countries. I’m dying to revisit Norway, Finland and Sweden 🇳🇴🇫🇮🇸🇪
Failed state, why even go
Overtly gay?
That’s why I stay in the USA
As a mexican in america, there’s a reason we all come here instead of go to our homeland.. we gave up on that crap
I heard tj/ ensañada is the where is the acording to my uncle who lives in Mexico there’s so much crime there and that it’s unsafe but definitely never drive across the border with California plates Automatically think that you’re rich just because you live on the other side of
Heartbreaking. I'm so sorry for their loss. What a senseless tragedy.
Play stupid games win stupid prizes. Some people never learn.
Sorry for your loss Mexico isn't safe don't go there 🧐
DO NOT GO TO CARTEL ZONE!! MEXICO IS A HELL HOE.. DONT GO!!! STAY IN L.A. ITS THE CLOSEST THING TO MEXICO
You can go to Cartel Zone , It’s reported that African male or Latin heterosexual have went to Mexico for “A real human Latina wife” looking for an ea
Chill out. You need to know what parts and how to move around. Calling mexico a hell hoe is wild.
And what have we learned? DON'T GO TO MEXICO.
So much evil happening in the world today. When will enough be enough for us to rise against this as spiritual warriors defending the good. I mean more than kind words thoughts and prayers.
Well don’t go to mexico avoid going were you don’t know were you getting in sorry for his dead

Condolences 💐
He looks like a lost member of The Backstreet Boys
More like back-door guys!
Do not go to Mexico especially during with the new president that has been elected.
Dammmm not like that .....
same thing can happen in LA, Chicago, Bronx
Why you gotta have go to Mexico vacation? Don’t go there?!
stay in your cave safe and sound 😅😂
Millions of people travel to mexico every year 7th most visited country In the world and they come and go no issues
Family….it used to be part of the west coast of America, not any more….RIP🇺🇸🕊🌹
There’s another family up north trying to bring their daughter home.
Is that the one who went to Tijuana with her boyfriend, and her ex husband who lives in Tijuana told the family she was dead? Doesn't seem random.
They don’t mention at what time this happened?
The reason in dont go down pass the US boarder.
Either someone is involved with Mexican organised crime in the victims family or that nerdy kid did something to piss off some scumbag down there. The fact that the incident was close to a toll booth and the only thing taken was a phone means that it was a planned hit and a warning sent to the family.
American stay in America and Mexican stay in Mexico.
AMEN!!!
Sending my condolences and prayers to Issac's family and friends. 😢
I still don’t understand how ppl think it’s cool to drive down to Mexico with US plates, especially when it’s a newer car.
Oh Mexico, it’s an isolated case until you become part of the statistics.
Right
I ain't ever going across the border.
Wow I got 2 friends in different occasions that die here in California
Condolences to family and loved ones.
this is terrible, this should have never happened. My heart goes out to all the victims in this.
WHY do Americans keep going over the border into Mexico, which has become one of the most dangerous country to visit in the World ! !!!!!?????????????????????????????
This digusts me 😢 poor guy 😢
Heartbreaking. OMG. 😢
Very sorry for the family but what the hell is any American doing driving in Mexico?
STOP GOING TO MEXICO!!!
This new President is in the pocket of the cartels!
And the new president elect is going to be worse
Sorry for your loss prayers 🙏 for you and your family God bless 🙌 🙏 ❤️
We told you already you ought not to be doing that
This has been going on for decades, lots that have never been reported.
STAY TF OUTTA MEXICO
I haven’t gone to Mexico in 20 years and I used to go all the time I live an hour from the border.
