For those wondering just how close this is on the border... IIRC driving through El Paso on the interstate if you look to the imediate south you are looking at Ciudad Juarez. You can see the houses from there.

So you could see it from your house? To use another popular axiom.

Absolutely. You drive right along the border for a good 10 minutes or more and can often see more of the Mexican side than of the American side. The difference is striking, but maybe not so much in a few years.
