Question

Answer 1

Mexicans are increasingly targeting Americans.

The U.S. government has travel warnings about the dangers of traveling to Mexico. There is a lot of robbing and killing.

However, it is safe to travel to Canada.

What U.S. government says about travelling to Mexico.
"Visitors should be aware of their surroundings at all times, even when in areas generally considered safe. Women traveling alone are especially vulnerable and should exercise caution, particularly at night. Victims, who are almost always unaccompanied, have been raped, robbed of personal property, or abducted and then held while their credit cards were used at various businesses and Automatic Teller Machines (ATMs). Armed street crime is a serious problem in all of the major cities. Some bars and nightclubs, especially in resort cities such as Cancun, Cabo San Lucas, Mazatlan, and Acapulco, can be havens for drug dealers and petty criminals. Some establishments may contaminate or drug drinks to gain control over the patron. "

Also:
"All bus travel should be during daylight hours and on first-class conveyances. "

No, you do not need a tourist visa if you are a permanent U.S. resident. Just need your Green Card or your passport with an INS stamp showing your residency status in the USA

Answer 3

Why would you want to go to Mexico? Do you know how many people have been robbed at the hands of Mexican criminals? People who have gone on bus trips to Mexico have had their cameras and money stolen and some have even been hurt. Unless you are going to a special high priced tourist trap like Acapulco, Mexico is probably not a safe place to go. We know people who have gone to Mexico to see the sights, have rented bicycles and have had their credit cards charged to the max by the theives who stated they would report the bicycles stolen if the money wasn't signed over. Additionally, Mexican purse-snatchers watch for American Citizens and tourists who are waiting to cross the street and they ride up on their scooters --the driver and one man riding behind him -- and they snatch the purses off the arms of women and cameras and briefcases from men. They are off and running and the Mexican Police think its funny.

Why don't you visit the Grand Canyon or some other great tourist attraction in the USA and spend your money here? You will be much safer.
