MFRA Travel Advisories

The Mexican Foreign Residents Association has issued the following travel advisories.

MFRA strongly recommends against travel to China. The polluted air in China will be responsible for the premature deaths of over 1.75 million people this year, even short term exposure to China's air can cause long term permanent damage. The elderly and very young are especially vulnerable. This travel advisory will be eased when China's "epidemic" of environmental pollution is brought under control. The MFRA recommends against holding your breath until that happens as this has been proven to lead to death.

MFRA reports indicate that there are over 45 murders each day in the United States, and that approximately 1.5 million people are victims of violent crime each year. Although areas such as New Orleans, Chicago and New Jersey have much higher crime rates than other parts of the United States, we recommed you just avoid the place entirely. This has nothing whatsoever to do with the US media's frequent generic references to "violence in Mexico" which constantly recycle border crime statistics and apply them to travel advisories (especially during vacation seasons) for the entire country. Really, absolutely nothing to do with it. We swear.
