The U. S.-Mexican border, enough violence to prompt travel warning
By Stephanie Lucero/CBS 11
With the continued violence along the border, there is growing concern about travel to Mexico. Those about to board buses in Dallas say they called first to ask about security.
Edgar Bonilla, a Junior at Skyline High School, spent last summer at his grandmother’s home in Durango, Mexico, but due to the violence his parents decided he would not make the trip this year.
“I thought it was a smart decision,” says Bonilla. “Why go down there. Why risk it,” he says.

Other passengers preparing to travel to the border region and the interior of Mexico expressed similar concerns outside of two depots on Jefferson Boulevard in Oak Cliff.
Glafira Rodriguez of Arlington says she decided to take the evening bus trip because passengers will arrive at the border region during daylight hours. “I’m sad about the condition of my country” Rodriguez says, who is a naturalized U.S. Citizen. “I don’t know what happened now. So I’m scared.”
