EL PASO,TEXAS, USA - JUAREZ, MEXICO BORDER FENCE
Driving on Paisano Dr (Route 85) right by the famous El Paso, Texas - Juarez, Mexico border fence.
Only U.S. Border Patrol vehicles are allowed beyond the fence as seen in the video.
Traffic on Interstate 10 seen in the background.
95% of El Paso resident speak mostly Spanish and based on the demographics and traditions/cultures you are able to witness while walking downtown El Paso and (trying to) talk to people on the street, El Paso IS a Mexican City operating under America's capitalistic economy, that's why the (overwhelmingly illegal) immigration flow runs Mexico to USA and not the other way around.
Mexicans are very reluctant to talk to anybody who does not speak Spanish or does not look like them, as witness by me while entering different stores in Downtown El Paso.
In this part of USA, same like anywhere around USA-Mexico Border: English is a second spoken language IF you're lucky to meet somebody (other than govt officials, cops included) who speaks some English.
At the end of the video, some interesting pictures shot at the Downtown El Paso border crossing including the pedestrian border crossing.
IMHO, only a Real WALL would be able to stop illegal immigrants from coming into USA.
Be safe.
A DAY IN GUANAJUATO | Eileen Aldis
In today’s travel vlog I’m spending a day in Guanajuato, exploring this beautiful located in the heart of Mexico. Guanajuato is a UNESCO World Heritage site built into the mountains. There are colourful houses, steep hills, and lots to see. As a university town, there’s also a lot of youthful energy. I started the day in the Jardin De La Union, then visited Teatro Juarez, made a quick stop at The Alleyway Of The Kiss for a smooch and fifteen years good luck, then took the funicular up to see the El Pípila monument and incredible view. Guanajuato is a charming place full of colour, culture, and history.

New Yorker tries the Mexico City CDMX Metro for the First Time POV : No A/C, Hot and Uncomfortable
Google Maps Route:
I tried the Mexico City CDMX Metro for the first time as a New Yorker to get from the Zocalo to my Airbnb in Colonia Juárez. It was hot, very crowded, and really uncomfortable. I did feel that pickpocketing might be an issue. I emptied my pockets and put the contents in my backpack, which I wore in front of me. On the other hand, the metro ran pretty smoothly, the stations were absolutely clean and sanitary, maps were easy to understand, it was extremely inexpensive, and trains were frequent.

THE WALL BY DRONE
About a year ago, I got permission from US Border Patrol to travel the length of the US-Mexico border from San Diego to the New Mexico border in my car, flying my drone and filming. I secretly think they might have been using me to test new technology to identify drones! Anyway, I filmed and flew and got to know many fine Border Patrol agents. This simplistic demand for a WALL by our current President shows a fundamental ignorance. There already is a wall, for hundreds of miles. There are also open spots and vulnerable spots which could use some patching up. It's time to stop making partisan generalizations and just seeing how things could get done if we all can just get along. Right, Rodney?

The 10 Most Violent Cities in The World - Top 10 Most Dangerous Cities in The World
Most cities that bring together vast and diverse populations, while being places of great inspiration, commerce and community, also contain danger. Although no city is free of violence, disease and crime, some are clearly more affected than others.
The crime statistics of world’s ten most dangerous cities are disheartening and shocking. With such high rates of homicide, robberies and violence these cities deservedly bear the names of ‘the places of chaos and death’ or ‘the murder capitals of the world’.
10. Karachi, Pakistan
Amongst the political in-fighting and lawlessness, Karachi has become especially famous for its motorbike riding assassins, known as “target killers”. For $21 million people, it has also become wracked with lawlessness and crime. This former capital of Pakistan has been overrun by political violence, gang shootings, and even suicide bombings 700-$1000, these target killers will assassinate police, protesters, businessmen, and political opponents.
9. Belem, Brazil
Belém is a natural gateway for cocaine streaming in from the surrounding countries of Columbia, Bolivia, and Peru. The dense amazonian jungle surrounding this city makes it perfect for smuggling in drugs, where they can be exported all over Brazil and around the world. The rise in cocaine use in the country has surely contributed to Belém’s place as one of the most dangerous cities in the world
Crime stats are
Homicides: 1639
Inhabitants: 2,100,319
Murder rate: 78.04
8. Cape Town, South Africa
One of the most popular tourist destinations in the world, Cape Town is also a city that is battling extremely high crime rates. Prone to mugging, it is one of the most unsafe cities at night, especially for women. The high level of crime is attributed to the disparity between socioeconomic classes.
7. Nairobi, Kenya
There is a severe threat of terrorism in Nairobi, with frequent attacks being carried out. Westerners are also warned of all but essential travel to low-income areas of the city, which experience high crime levels. Also, incidences of street crime are very high in the city. Night time travel in the city is very unsafe with mugging and looting being a routine affair.
6. Sana’a, Yemen
Since the Mercer Survey in December, the security situation in Yemen has rapidly deteriorated, due to uprisings against the government and instability opening a door for terrorism. Both the State Department and the British Foreign Office are advising against all travel to Yemen and urging their citizens to leave while some commercial carriers are still flying there.
5. Caracas, Venezuela
Venezuelan capital Caracas is a drug trafficking haven. Robbery and petty crimes are commonplace with police having very little say or will to control the situation.
Crime stats aree
Homicides: 3164
Inhabitants: 3,205,463
Murder rate: 98.71
4. Baghdad, Iraq
After being the world’s most dangerous place for years immediately after the US invasion, Baghdad has calmed down, just a bit. After the withdrawal of military forces from Iraq, Baghdad suffers from a very unstable political climate. Years of bombings and counter bombings have destroyed most of the city’s infrastructure. Intermittent suicide bombings, random gunfire and roadside bombs continue to wreak havoc on the hapless citizens of the city by the Tigris.
3. Mogadishu, Somalia
Until recently, Somalia’s capital Mogadishu was undisputedly the world’s most dangerous city. The UN and embassies had pulled out in the 1990s, following the collapse of the last fully functioning government in 1991. Al Qaeda linked militants held sway over much of the city from 2007 until last August when African Union fighters pushed out al-Shabab, ending the daily grind of war.
2. Ciudad Juarez, Mexico
Mexico is a drug haven and the city of Ciudad Juarez is its unofficial capital. Drug traffickers are notoriously violent and do pretty much whatever they want. With police mostly corrupt, Ciudad Juarez is known as one of the most violent places in the world outside of war zones. The crime statistics is;
Homicides: 1974
Inhabitants: 1,335,890
Murder rate: 147.77
1. San Pedro Sula, Honduras
San Pedro Sula, Honduras — This is a city besieged by crime in all its forms: gang violence, drug cartel killings and rampant extortion compounded by a fear of authorities. Honduras is now among the most dangerous places on Earth. No other country matches its rate of crime. The crime statistics is;
Homicides: 1,143
Inhabitants: 719,447
Murder rate: 158.87

080: Kai Kirk Feels Safe Raising Kids in Family-Friendly Mexico
Before moving to the Riviera Maya, Kai Kirk lived in Texas with his wife. Both were putting in long hours for ungrateful companies. When they decided it was time to have children, they knew their existing lifestyle wouldn’t do. Kai says the decision to move to Akumal in the Riviera Maya changed their lives for the better.
Now with two children, Kai says he is surprised by the number of low-cost, high-quality private schools there are near Playa del Carmen and Akumal. There are both Waldorf and Montessori schools who accept all nationalities. The classes are taught 50% in English and 50% in Spanish, which has made his young son completely bilingual.
The move was made easier by the fact that Kai is familiar with the Akumal area. His family owned a condo in Akumal when he was young. His mother was an avid cave diver who appreciated the underground rivers in the cenotes.
Kai and his wife have had very few challenges moving to and living in Mexico. Kai recalls one challenge when obtaining a birth certificate for his son due to the difference in the North American tradition of the wife taking the husband’s name at marriage. He didn’t want his son to have the same two last names so he was forced to jump through some hoops at a time when his Spanish was still its infancy. And even then, the U.S. required more documentation to verify the birth than Mexico did.
For those who may have safety concerns about raising children in Mexico, Kai says you can certainly look for danger but danger doesn’t seem to hit innocent bystanders.
For enjoyment Kai and his family visit:
The colonial town of Merida. Turtle Bay Bakery for comfort food. Xpuha for long stretches of beautiful beach. Xcacel, to swim in a crystal clear cenote. A snorkeling spot in Akumal.

⁴ᴷ⁶⁰ Walking NYC (Narrated) : 57th Street (Billionaire's Row) in its Entirety
Google Maps Route:
A narrated walking tour of 57th Street in Manhattan, NYC where I travel from Sutton Place to 12th Avenue, passing many supertall skyscrapers, Carnegie Hall, ultra rich retail stores, restaurants, and Trump Tower.
Corrections: At 11:30, the next Avenue is Sutton Place and Sutton Place South. York Avenue starts at 59th Street. Also, Yorkville starts at 79th Street. The area I was entering was the neighborhood of Sutton Place. At 21:19, the building is not 300 East 57th Street, it is at 21:00. At 40:30, the building is only known by its street address, not One57. 42:11 is One57 Street at 157 West 57th Street.
