Answer this Question

When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Tijuana, they said...

"Don't move here! I was nearly kidnapped. The cartels have made this place way too dangerous! I fled this place to save my life and the life of my husband and lost everything! You have to be insane to consider living in Mexico these days," said a member in Tijuana, Mexico.
