As spring break approaches, Arizonans are urged to avoid Nogales, Mexico, and the beach areas of Puerto Penasco, also known as Rocky Point.

The U.S. State Department issued a traveling warning over Mexico's continued drug violence and human smuggling activities.

The warning urges any travel in Mexico should take place on main roads during daylight hours.

People still wishing to travel to Puerto Penasco are urged to use the Lukeville, Ariz., border crossing in order to limit driving through Mexico.

    After everything that Bush did to prevent the illegals, it's a shame to see this!

    PRESIDENT OBAMA, ARE YOU LISTENING? OR DO I NEED TO "WAG MY FINGER" IN YOUR FACE?

    This comes as no surprise to me. Parts of southern Arizona are the same way.

    A failed, narco(or is it nacho) state. Now with a new woman president with an economic degree, do you think that the human train will come in disguised as professors and money couriers?

    The reason this warning was issued is because Obama's DOJ is worried that so many weapons where sent into Mexico through "Fast and Furious" and that some Americans might get shoot with those weapons while on vacation. That wouldn't look good for Obama during an election year. It's all political.

    There must be some mistake. These people only want to come to the United States to pick our tomatoes and work in our "Fast-Food" franchises.

    Hillary (Secy of State) must have had an "polka-dot dress" nightmare and woke up wanting to get back at someone.....anyone so naturally she picked up on...La Raza (Obama won't let her go after his...affendi's...his Muslim brothers).
