I always think it is funny when TV shows and movies make up countries for terrorists to be from because they are afraid to offend anyone. I used to watch Rambo II and III over and over when they would be in Fox or one of the cable channels on the weekend. Those and the Chuck Norris movies.

I applaud Stallone for making Mexico the focus: Based on where he was in the USA, and the story of his "daughter," there was no other plausible alternative. Plus the people who were screaming about how the movie depicts Mexico as a rather lawless and dangerous place.... I don't think they have ever been to Mexico (Cabo and Cancun don't count.) Not to mention the fact that while both Rambo and his "daughter" are wandering around nobody, other than cartel members are presented as dangerous. Sure there was a couple of tattoo covered dudes in the street when the daughter parked her car, but they didn't even talk to her - just looked at her the same way you and i would have if a car pulled up in front of our house that we didn't recognize.
In the absence of actual racism and xenophobia, the perpetually offended SJW masses will create it where it is not.
