Mexican-American Congresswoman Urges Americans Not to Visit Mexico: ‘I Would Never Set Foot’ There

EXCERPT:

LUNA: “But Mexico for the most part is exactly what you would expect in a second-world country. They are definitely still tied and in bed with the cartels. And it’s interesting because you have, on the complete polar opposite, you know, President Bukele, who we will be meeting with actually in a couple of days. We are going down there, this is not taxpayer-funded, I'm going down there as the chairwoman of the El Salvador Caucus to help shore up foreign relations. Remember, China is still very active in South America, and what’s interesting is, you have Bukele, who’s anti-China, pro-America, has taken El Salvador from one of the deadliest murder capitals of the world to one of the safest in the Western hemisphere, and I would argue that is the model of what Mexico should be. So it’s really sad because even dating back into the 60s, I remember hearing my dad tell stories about how my grandfather would bring them for their entire summers to see their family and it was way different than it is now. So I would never set foot in Mexico unless I was on official business, and I would encourage Americans, until they get their cartel situation under their control, don’t send your kids.”
