Seeing how the situation is in Mexico now, Jorge Gonzales says he stays alert of his surroundings when he travels back home. "I'm going to Victoria in Tamaulipas, it's a couple of hours away from Matamoros," says UT student Nallely.2 missing Americans kidnapped in Mexico found dead and 2 alive, official says
"We do also remind Americans about the existing travel guidance when it comes to this particular part of Mexico. The travel advisory for Tamaulipas state remains at level four, 'Do not travel.' We encourage Americans to heed that. Heed that advice," says State Department spokesperson Ned Price."My parents have a truck with Mexican license plates and that doesn't call a lot of attention as American license plates," says Nallely.
