Why anybody still travels to Mexico is beyond me
Unless they kneeled during the Nat’l Anthem, Joe Biden won’t care about saving them

The text of that tweet can be translated as following…
The Governor of Tamaulipas confirms that the four Americans kidnapped on Friday in Matamoros have already been located. Among them two dead and one wounded.
Translation of Mexican Governor Tweet
These Americans had reportedly traveled to Mexico so that one of the four victims could receive a ‘tummy tuck’ surgery from a doctor in Mexico.
Matamoros is located directly across the Southern Border. U.S. officials have issued a ‘Do Not Travel’ warning for Americans in the area. It is a notorious gangland. The warning reads…
“Criminal groups target public and private passenger buses, as well as private automobiles traveling through Tamaulipas, often taking passengers and demanding ransom payments.”
U.S. warning about Matamoros
These Americans obviously never got the warning. How tragic that they are in this situation for such a ridiculous reason.
Will U.S. officials intervene to save the remaining hostages? We seem to have more updates from Mexico than our own government.
Something needs to be done about the cartels, sooner than later.
