If you listen to State Department or even your own government's travel warnings you wouldn't step outside your bedroom (although statistics will tell you that more people die in their beds than in all other locations). US forum I belong to has a separate Mexico section and every few days the trolls will roll in and tell us they wouldn't go to Mexico under any circumstances and of course those of us who have been just tell them good, that leaves it less crowded for us.
No question parts of Mexico are dangerous but parts of USA (or any country) can be just as or more dangerous. We boondocked (admittedly in a big motorhome)
close to half the time on Baja and the mainland and had no problems at all and nothing but help from police and army as well.
