Sure, if you want 40% of our attendees kidnapped for ransom and  
another 20% arrested on faux charges and fined heavily. Mexico City is  
a HUGELY not safe place for people who don't know their way around.  
Those who DO know only travel with trusted bodyguards. Do you, for  
example, know the difference between Libre and Sitio taxis? Most  
people don't, but there is a big one . . . mostly, how many days the  
kidnappers hold you to keep pumping the ATM dry.

The US may be a pain for immigration purposes, but I don't think we're  
losing many people to crime in Minneapolis. Nobody mugs the locals;  
many are lawfully armed, and most of them wouldn't put up with that  
sort of behavior.
