"I would like to assure American citizens in Mexico that the United States will protect their safety in light of the recent violence in Mexico. The United States Department of Defense is sending American troops into the regions where American citizens are in danger. These troops will ensure safe passage for American citizens back to the United States. We strongly encourage American citizens to avoid Mexico for safety reasons. If you are in Mexico and fear for your safety, please contact the US Embassy."
