"El Paso Mayor John Cook told ABC-7 business will continue as usual at city hall."

nothing to see here, move on

[JRandomFreeper]

l does not appear to be the specific target of these rounds.

So were they addressed "general delivery", "occupant" or "to whom it may concern"?

Soon we will look for a day when El Paso, and other border cities are NOT being attacked by way of Mexico.

View of Juarez from El Paso.

Border violence? What border violence? Maybe the feds could put up some signs warning about stray rounds. That should fix it.

I brought up Juarez on google earth street view and was surprised at the stark differences between residences there and those across the border a few miles away. Shanty towns on the mexico side and reasonably well-kept houses on the U.S. side. I guess the mexicans don’t like well kept residences.

The feds should put up signs stating people should stay away from this area as it is too dangerous. Oh, and boycott AZ also.

Don’t worry, BHO is going to give a speech on immigration soon.

Maybe they're not planning to stay long.

All the Mixican gardners are in the US.

They are occupying US territory and now launching artillery (well, probably 30 caliber, but so what) into our sovereign territory. Which one in not an act of war? Janet? Zero? Anyone?

[cripplecreek]

One of these days it will be an RPG.

[DCBryan1]

Looks like Helen Thomas found the bullets first.

Google Colonias. Those are Mexican barrios here in the US. Every day we become more like Mexico.

What is a Colonia? THE THIRD WORLD IN THE USA

Texas Secretary of State's Definition:

The term "colonia," in Spanish means a community or neighborhood. The Office of the Secretary of State defines a "colonia" as a residential area along the Texas-Mexico border that may lack some of the most basic living necessities, such as potable water and sewer systems, electricity, paved roads, and safe and sanitary housing.

Among the border states, Texas has the largest number of colonias approximately 1,800 communities, with more than 500,000 residents. Sixty-five percent of all residents, and 85% of residents under the age of 18, were born in the United States. (aka Anchor babies) These Americans live in extreme poverty and often are unaware of the services that the United States and Texas can provide for them. Education is a key to addressing the problems faced by colonia residents, but reaching out to these communities poses unique challenges that require unique approaches.

Ninety-eight percent of the residents are Hispanic and speak little or no English.

THESE BULLETS HIT MY CITY HALL!.................

[bgill]

Janet just stated a couple days ago the border was as secure as it’s always been. When was the last time bullets had hit city hall?
