California Media Continues to Beat Dead Horse about Baja Cali

Baja California Plagued By Crime Wave Aimed At Tourists - News Story - KNBC Los Angeles

In an obvious attempt to stem the flow of American dollars south of the border to Mexico's Baja California, the California Media continues to rehash old news. In a vain attempt to scare Americans from Mexico travel and investment Us Media and particularly southern California Media keep bring up this story of tragic incidents, some of them as much as 4 months old every time they fade from the news. Partly because the advertisers to these media outlets (SoCal Real Estate interests) see far too many dollars disappearing to a sounder investment in Mexican real estate.

During the same timer perid that these 13 incidents took place. (most of them on tourists doing foolish stuff) 27 similar attacks occurred in California State Parks. Last year 353 murders took place in Tijuaa. The same year, in a city of nearly identical size, Philadelphia 467 murders took place, yet we don't see travel warnings posted for the city of Brotherly Love do we?

Travel safely, use your head and stay out of the drug mule business and you wil most likely have a wonderful trip to Baja.

You are the ones filled with the misinformation. Baja is not safe -- and there aren't just a few old stories to prove it. You have taken my money long enough -- for what?: Beaches with trash, feral dogs, cheats, bad roads, corrupt cops, and lawlessness. There are a lot of very bad people; this is no anecdote. Find it for yourself. Baja Norte is a hole. Americans: trust me, La Jolla is a much better beach anyway.

I'm sorry I did not see this comment sooner so that it would get published. We at Bajainsider encourage people to publish comment even if we do not agree with them. This is the case here as obviously this American feels safer in America which is fine with us. we agree to disagree with this individual and I apologize for not getting this comment published sooner.

I just hope they don't let the door hit them in ass on the way out! You are welcome to your opinion and we suppose you will now not be returning to Mexico anytime soon. so be it as many people that live and work in the Baja Norte don't feel the same as you do.

Enjoy La Jolla and have a great life wheher ever you find yourself
