So all the information for allthat stuff is going to be in the
description for those of youwho've been asking.
And now without further ado,let's get into it.
Is Mexico safe?
So we actually answered thisquestion in.
(02:54):
Explicit detail complete withcharts and graphs and everything
in a recent video, but wefigured it merited its own
separate video because a lot ofpeople actually search for this.
And a lot of people are veryconcerned about this with good
reason because a lot of themedia, particularly in the West,
shows Mexico as a.
You know, crazy lawless countrywhere there's, there are insane
(03:17):
amounts of violence and all thatkind of stuff.
So we figured this merited itsown shorter video where we just
answer this one specificquestion.
So without further ado, we'regonna get into.
That exact piece of the videothat we recently did complete
with graph stats, comparingdifferent cities to each other,
comparing the types of violenceand crime that may exist.
(03:39):
And I already set the spoileralert.
However, some of thesestatistics may actually shock
you.
So let's jump into the numberone thing that we hear that's a
myth about Mexico, which is thatMexico is extremely dangerous
now as any place in the worldis.
(04:00):
There are parts of Mexico thatare dangerous.
And you typically, especiallyhere, you know what those places
are.
It's not like you're in SantaMonica and you know you're
walking on the pier and you gethit in the face with a beer
bottle thrown by some mentallyill homeless person.
That's happened to people that Iknow.
(04:21):
Not to mention in San Franciscoand in plenty of other places
where one block you're totallysafe and you've got.
$10,000 a month, you know, highrise apartments, and then the
next block is just absolute pureand utter chaos.
There are definitely some areasin Mexico where there's
violence.
Uh, there are certain like gangactivities that you, you don't
(04:45):
want to be in those areas.
Typically, they're not in thetourist areas.
Um, there, there are places likesome parts of Sinaloa, some
parts in the south of Mexico.
Where, uh, if you're not, let'ssay with a, with a tour where
everybody kind of knows wherethey're, where they're going,
um, you, you, you might not wantto go in certain areas like
that.
But outside of that, like inmost of the major cities,
(05:06):
Guadalajara is very safe.
Mexico City is very safe ifyou're not in like a dangerous
neighborhood.
And most of the places thatexpats are going to are not
going to be, uh, thoseneighborhoods that are gonna be.
Unsafe.
In fact, we found somestatistics that we're gonna go
through right now with you guys,and we'll try and put the, the
graphs on the screen as wellthat show that Americans are
(05:28):
actually safer in Mexico thanthey are in the United States.
So let's go through some ofthis.
So this is, uh, according to theFBI crime statistics, 4.8
Americans per 100,000 are.
Unlived in the United States.
That's per the 2010 numbers.
Those are the most recent onesthat we could find, and the US
State Department reports thatonly 120 Americans out of this
(05:51):
5.7 million who visit Mexico inthat same time period.
So within a year time period areunli, which is a rate of 2.1 out
of every 100,000 visitors.
It's actually half.
Of the rate in the UnitedStates.
Um, now what happens in Mexicois you're not always clear
(06:12):
whether or not these people,these Americans who ran into
problems in Mexico, wereinvolved in things they should
not have been involved inbecause that is usually the
case.
Uh, whereas in the UnitedStates, it's totally random as
you were.
Bringing up.
Now, the other thing to keep inmind is when you're in tourist
destinations or places wherethere's a lot of expats and
foreigners, the numbers decreaseeven more.
(06:35):
Right?
And when you compare it to wherethere's lots of tourists in the
United States, the numbers aregonna shock you.
This one, draw this one.
I was like, really?
When I read this one?
So let's take Disney World.
Let's take Orlando, which is thehome of Disney World.
So in that same time period, soabout a year time period,
Orlando saw 7.5.
(06:56):
On the live activities, let'sput it that way, per 100,000 U
YouTube is a little bit stricton what we can and can't say.
So per 100,000 residents, now ifyou go to Cancun or Puerto
Valda, that number goes down to1.83 or 5.9 respectively.
Uh, and this is Americans.
And again, right?
(07:17):
It depends, like a lot of timesthey were involved in things
they should not have beeninvolved in, whereas in the
United States.
Totally random.
You could totally be at thewrong place at the wrong time.
Um, and you also have to takeinto consideration the type of
crime that happens in each ofthese countries because that
does add nuance.
To the situation in Mexico, asif we've mentioned, it's usually
(07:38):
targeted.
It's usually to isolated areas.
It most definitely does notinvolve foreigners or expats or
anywhere where you're gonna behanging out because they tend to
keep those places very clean.
Yep.
And with a lot of security, uh,because there's a lot of money
in those places, so nowhere thatyou're gonna be hanging out.
You need to worry about it.
Whereas in the United States,it's completely random.
(08:00):
Just two weeks ago we had a, asituation in a major university
in the United States wherepeople were just going to go
take their classes and herecomes a guy with a weapon and.
Y'all know what happens in theUnited States with that.
You could be doing groceries,you could be at the, you know,
the movie theater?
At the movie theater.
Yeah.
You could be at a mall, youcould be anywhere.
(08:21):
You literally do not hear aboutthose types of events occurring
here.
Like it's not a thing.
Um, you, you can't just possessa weapon like anybody in the
country.
Yes, there are some criminalsthat have them, and that's not a
good thing.
But again, those criminals arenot typically targeting
foreigners or people notinvolved in those.
Those criminal conflicts thatare here, their issues are
(08:43):
usually with each other and thegovernment.
Not with you unless you getinvolved in things you're not
supposed to be getting involvedin, which we have heard stories
like that of people ending up insituations, but every freaking
time they were involved inthings they should not have been
involved in.
And unfortunately, you do have asector of, I don't know, tourism
or expats or foreigners that goto other countries and partake
(09:07):
in a bunch of fuck shit, forlack of a better word, and then
wonder why they're getting introuble.
The other thing to keep in mind.
Right.
Is that the, I just can't saythe word right.
So, um, I'm gonna say it anyway.
The homicide rates in Mexicohave actually been declining
since 2016 and in the UnitedStates they've been going up
(09:28):
since 2000, uh, since the sametime period.
And if you look at the rates bylocation, um, yes there are, uh,
there are certain instanceswhere, where violence happens.
But if you look at overall.
The homicide rate per a hundredthousand, uh, people, in terms
(09:49):
of Americans in Mexico is 0.3.
And if you look at even the, thetotal homicide rates of
different cities, a lot of themare actually significantly lower
than many cities in the us.
For example, Guadalajara, wherewe live, the rate is 17.1.
(10:10):
But the overall rate in thecountry that involves Americans
is 0.3.
So a lot of those people,whether you're in Guadalajara,
you're in Mexico City, a lot ofthe people that are, that are
getting involved in, in those,in those, having those issues
are again, associated with thatcriminal activity.
Um, if we look at the, the majorcities, so Guadalajara was 17.1
(10:31):
in Mexico.
Puerto Vallarta is 8.8.
Mexico City is 8.6.
Cabo is 3.7.
And Meida, which is um.
One of the safest cities in thecountry was only 1.5.
Maybe that's one of the safestcities in all area, actually in
the world.
Yeah.
Uh, definitely in, in theWestern Hemisphere.
Versus if we look at thosehomicide rates by location,
(10:52):
sorry, YouTube, we have to sharethe information.
Um, so if we get, uh, you know,banned on this video, oh well.
Um, but if we look at evenPhiladelphia, Pennsylvania, the
rate per a hundred thou, uh, pera hundred thousand people is 33.
DC 29.3, Chicago, 22.8.
We're gonna put these up on the,the screen for them here.
(11:14):
Houston 19, Phoenix, Arizona.
So, so even just looking here,Guadalajara, which ranks as,
again, overall, and this isincluding people that are
involved with criminal activityoverall, Guadalajara, which
technically is one of the mostdangerous, um.
Cities in this chart, whichpeople love to tell us that in
the comments, which, which isreally funny because we haven't
(11:35):
seen anything like that.
And the only times that I'veheard of instances like that
were in certain neighborhoodswhere, again, like parts of the,
these rivaling factions livedand they were going specifically
to target a person and take thatperson out, but, and they were
not targeting tourists or thegeneral public or anything like
that.
(11:55):
Not to mention, you do not seeanything about terrorist events
or anything here like you do somuch in the US and Canada.
It doesn't happen.
Or Europe, US or Europe.
Canada and Europe.
Just in the last six months allhad terrorist attacks.
And that might be a whole othervideo.
Yeah, that, that's a whole othervideo.
But compare Gua Hara, which isconsidered.
You know, by what people tell usin the comments.
(12:16):
One of the most dangerouscities, um, in Guadalajara.
And we oftentimes have to tellpeople, okay, well, number one,
if you're American, they'reprobably not touching you unless
you are involved in thingsyou're, you shouldn't be
involved in.
And number two, we're comingfrom cities that are more
dangerous than what is going onin Guadalajara.
Yep.
So if Philadelphia is almostdouble.
The rate of Guadalajara andthese cities didn't even include
(12:38):
small areas like for example,Memphis, Tennessee, that have
even higher rates.
So you have to take that stuffinto consideration because I
think a lot of people getconfused because of the media.
Like, oh, Mexico is sodangerous.
And I'm like, but do you seewhat's going on in US cities?
'cause it's worse than what'sgoing on here.
And again, it's different kinds.
Of crime and most people justdon't go look at the numbers.
(13:00):
They just take, you know,whatever the media tells'em and
they run with it.
So, exactly that's, and so evenjust looking at that number
there, you look at the 19 per ahundred thousand in Houston
compared to the most dangerouscity here, one of the most
dangerous cities, at least thatwe would, that we're looking at
on the list that tourists go toand Houston actually is, is
worse by almost two per ahundred thousand.
(13:23):
Compared to Guadalajara now yes,you start to get safer cities.
Phoenix, Arizona is about 13.5.
But that's still more dangerousthan Puerto Vallarta and Mexico
City almost combined than downto la.
I mean, I've lived in LA andthere's parts that are safe.
There's parts that are reallyunsafe.
That's 10.2.
New York City, I'm actually kindof surprised, um,'cause there's
(13:45):
a lot of, there's a lot ofviolent crime.
But in terms of the homicide,uh, homicide rate there, it's
5.3, um, which is still moredangerous than Meida as a city
Cabo.
Uh, and close to Mexico City andit's several times what the
homicide rate for Americansliving here is.
(14:07):
Yeah, I mean, many, many times.
These are the actual stats.
All right guys, so there youhave it.
It turns out Mexico is actuallysafer for Americans in the
United States Is.
For Americans, and like we said,we told you some of these
statistics might be a bitshocking once you actually start
looking at the numbers.

It depends, like a lot of timesthey were involved in things

Totally random.
You could totally be at thewrong place at the wrong time.

wonder why they're getting introuble.
The other thing to keep in mind.
Right.
Is that the, I just can't saythe word right.
So, um, I'm gonna say it anyway.
The homicide rates in Mexicohave actually been declining
since 2016 and in the UnitedStates they've been going up
(09:28):
since 2000, uh, since the sametime period.
And if you look at the rates bylocation, um, yes there are, uh,
there are certain instanceswhere, where violence happens.
But if you look at overall.
The homicide rate per a hundredthousand, uh, people, in terms
(09:49):
of Americans in Mexico is 0.3.
And if you look at even the, thetotal homicide rates of
different cities, a lot of themare actually significantly lower
than many cities in the us.
For example, Guadalajara, wherewe live, the rate is 17.1.
(10:10):
But the overall rate in thecountry that involves Americans
is 0.3.
So a lot of those people,whether you're in Guadalajara,
you're in Mexico City, a lot ofthe people that are, that are
getting involved in, in those,in those, having those issues
are again, associated with thatcriminal activity.
Um, if we look at the, the majorcities, so Guadalajara was 17.1
(10:31):
in Mexico.
Puerto Vallarta is 8.8.
Mexico City is 8.6.
Cabo is 3.7.
And Meida, which is um.
One of the safest cities in thecountry was only 1.5.
Maybe that's one of the safestcities in all area, actually in
the world.
Yeah.
Uh, definitely in, in theWestern Hemisphere.
Versus if we look at thosehomicide rates by location,
(10:52):
sorry, YouTube, we have to sharethe information.
Um, so if we get, uh, you know,banned on this video, oh well.
Um, but if we look at evenPhiladelphia, Pennsylvania, the
rate per a hundred thou, uh, pera hundred thousand people is 33.
DC 29.3, Chicago, 22.8.
We're gonna put these up on the,the screen for them here.
(11:14):
Houston 19, Phoenix, Arizona.
So, so even just looking here,Guadalajara, which ranks as,
again, overall, and this isincluding people that are
involved with criminal activityoverall, Guadalajara, which
technically is one of the mostdangerous, um.
Cities in this chart, whichpeople love to tell us that in
the comments, which, which isreally funny because we haven't
(11:35):
seen anything like that.
And the only times that I'veheard of instances like that
were in certain neighborhoodswhere, again, like parts of the,
these rivaling factions livedand they were going specifically
to target a person and take thatperson out, but, and they were
not targeting tourists or thegeneral public or anything like
that.
(11:55):
Not to mention, you do not seeanything about terrorist events
or anything here like you do somuch in the US and Canada.
It doesn't happen.
Or Europe, US or Europe.
Canada and Europe.
Just in the last six months allhad terrorist attacks.
And that might be a whole othervideo.
Yeah, that, that's a whole othervideo.
But compare Gua Hara, which isconsidered.
You know, by what people tell usin the comments.
(12:16):
One of the most dangerouscities, um, in Guadalajara.
And we oftentimes have to tellpeople, okay, well, number one,
if you're American, they'reprobably not touching you unless
you are involved in thingsyou're, you shouldn't be
involved in.
And number two, we're comingfrom cities that are more
dangerous than what is going onin Guadalajara.
Yep.
So if Philadelphia is almostdouble.
The rate of Guadalajara andthese cities didn't even include
(12:38):
small areas like for example,Memphis, Tennessee, that have
even higher rates.
So you have to take that stuffinto consideration because I
think a lot of people getconfused because of the media.
Like, oh, Mexico is sodangerous.
And I'm like, but do you seewhat's going on in US cities?
'cause it's worse than what'sgoing on here.
And again, it's different kinds.
Of crime and most people justdon't go look at the numbers.
(13:00):
They just take, you know,whatever the media tells'em and
they run with it.
So, exactly that's, and so evenjust looking at that number
there, you look at the 19 per ahundred thousand in Houston
compared to the most dangerouscity here, one of the most
dangerous cities, at least thatwe would, that we're looking at
on the list that tourists go toand Houston actually is, is
worse by almost two per ahundred thousand.
(13:23):
Compared to Guadalajara now yes,you start to get safer cities.
Phoenix, Arizona is about 13.5.
But that's still more dangerousthan Puerto Vallarta and Mexico
City almost combined than downto la.
I mean, I've lived in LA andthere's parts that are safe.
There's parts that are reallyunsafe.
That's 10.2.
New York City, I'm actually kindof surprised, um,'cause there's
(13:45):
a lot of, there's a lot ofviolent crime.
But in terms of the homicide,uh, homicide rate there, it's
5.3, um, which is still moredangerous than Meida as a city
Cabo.
Uh, and close to Mexico City andit's several times what the
homicide rate for Americansliving here is.
(14:07):
Yeah, I mean, many, many times.
These are the actual stats.
All right guys, so there youhave it.
It turns out Mexico is actuallysafer for Americans in the
United States Is.
For Americans, and like we said,we told you some of these
statistics might be a bitshocking once you actually start
looking at the numbers.
