Mexico overall is safer than the USA.

Sure there are indeed areas to stay away from,
Just as in the USA.

Mass shootings are in the USA.
Mass school shootings are in the USA.
Mass shootings in churches and malls are in the USA.

Every day,, almost every day in the USA there are shootings,
Shootings on the highways, shootings at work places,
Shootings Road Rage.

The rest of the world sees ALL the endless gun violence happening
in the USA, and see that Republicans REFUSE to stop it,
Republicans REFUSE to limit put effective restrictions in place in the USA,

So the rest of the world sees the USA as the violent place to be
