Question

would you run to Canada or Mexico? Consider carefully.

Answer 1

Canada. Mexico is becoming far too dangerous for Americans. There is a lot of resentment towards Americans in Mexico.

The U.S. government has travel warnings about the dangers of traveling to Mexico. There is a lot of robbing, kidnapping, raping, and killing. Many cities that used to be common for Americans to visit are now overrun by criminals.

Canada also just released a report about the dangers of traveling to Mexico.

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. "

Depending on the time of year. If it were mid spring threw early Autumn I would go north. Winter,late Fall and early spring would be best for the southern route.

Deep in Mexico if you are loaded with cash. Deep in Canada if you were not.

Answer 10

Whether it is legal or illegal, I would choose Canada. there would be less culture shock (I don't speak Spanish) .& the border is much easier to cross, again, whether legally or illegally. It is also much easier to be lost in the crowd if I was trying to hide.
