Travel Alert Concerns Mexico Businesses
"In this city there is always a scandal, but an alert by the U.S. government is going to scare more people away," said Silvia Enriquez, who owns a pharmacy across from the Santa Fe international bridge.
Still, some Mexican business owners were angered by the alerts and said the United States needs to do more than just point the finger.
"The U.S. is always talking about how Mexico is the springboard for illegal drugs but they fail to mention they are the swimming pool," said Hugo Alvarado, a dentist who has a clinic half a block away from the El Paso del Norte international bridge.
