Mexican president claims country 'safer' than US following death and kidnappings of Americans
Fox News
The president of Mexico claimed his nation was safer than the U.S. after receiving widespread criticism following the kidnapping of four American tourists by cartel members.
Obrador’s comments came just one week after four Americans were recovered after they were kidnapped in the northern border state of Tamaulipas just across the Rio Grande from Brownsville, Texas, which resulted in the death of two of them.

But the Mexican president maintained that Mexico is perfectly safe for Mexicans and Americans and claimed the recent criticism was directed from "anti-Mexico" conservative lawmakers who were looking to stop development in their southern neighbor.
