I'm from Mexico. I still spend plenty of time every year and/or have family in states under the "Do Not Travel To" or "Reconsider Travel To" lists.

These are usually along the fault lines of cartel territories or in specific "sketchy areas". Mexico is nice for us non-tourists living in non-tourist places too IMO.
