if you are doubtful then tell that person you need to pick up to cross the border by themselves and you pick them up right across in San Ysidro.

"Half an hour all tohether"... that is not even the border crossing wait time if you are driving

And the danger depends to what place are you picking that person up... its a big city after all and not all zones are equally dangerous. If you go to pickup someone at the airport or hotel it's different than picking someone in a colonia "neighborhood" on outskirts of the city.

it is kind of like saying that if i go to LA am i going to be cast to be in a movie ... because that's what the city does... well chances are null unless you are actively looking for it.

People live their lives everyday here, and yes there is crime like any other city, but the media focus the attention on the mass killings related to drugs, of course is a media sensation to say people die right and left and a serial killer making pozole with murders and acid ... but the truth is that most killings are drug related accounting for drug people and government, yes there might have died innocent people in the crossfire but they were not the targets.. just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time... tourist haven't been a major target besides the common pickpockets and sort of robberies

If you are going by yourself, why not take someone with you just in case you don't appear as an easy target for robbery.. and don't be flashy

Border towns are dangerous...but tourists are NOT targeted. The REST of Mexico is fine. It would be wise to take another person with you if at all possible...and do not linger in Tijuana.

of course not, all the violence in the news is with the drug cartels, it has nothing to do with regular people or tourists. take some common precautions; dont wear jewelry, dont break laws like speeding. do not wear revealing clothing.

All border areas are dangerous now. blonde or not...

Y knot?

YES - It is dangerous. Don't go unless it is absolutely necessary.
And why are you going alone? Take somebody with you at least.

Yes. ESPECIALLY Tijuana.

Border towns in general are a bloody mess right now.

You do what you want, but you do so at your own peril. Don't be surprised when you're kidnapped and killed.

It all depends on what area ur gonna be at. I never been to Tijuana but i'm sure it's like the rest of Mexico... BAD!! I'm Mexican and i'm scared to set foot in Mexico. I never want to go back there. And I havent been there recently, like throughout history Mexico has been known for its corrupted police and all the drugs and gangs that run the country, but for the couple of years the kidnapping rate has reached an all time high. If I was you, I wouldn't even think about going over there...Why do you think everyone is coming over to this side? Lol.
