Thousands of college students, including some from Indiana, are expected in Mexico for spring break despite the growing drug-related violence there. At least 19 people have been killed over the last three days.
Spring break is well underway in Acapulco, and that means more than 10,000 college students from the United States coming to get away from their studies. But they’re entering a rather dicey situation because Mexico is a country at war, not only between drug cartels fighting but also the government here trying to get a handle on the drug trade.
In the first 74 days of this year, 2,409 people have been killed and, along the border, that included three Americans.
