Stop reading all those sensationalist stories about the border.
This year alone I have entered and left Mexico via the northeastern
border cities of. Matamoros and Nuevo Laredo and actually stayed the night in the heart of those Mexican cities. I have been doing this in other border towns too with no ill effects and without incident. It is not a shooting gallery as some describe it to be.
It is a question of care and common sense.Look at the very recent events in the city as to immediate security concerns and decide on that. Know that there are good hotels available and enter during daylight and get your paperwork done at ease .Then relax and stay in your hotel all night , no wandering around at night.
Any of the border crossings can be used this way.
If the border city is " dangerous" then the fact of a mere 200km
space will not really add much " safety"
