This is old but I thought I would post.

A vibrant trade in drugs and humans ...

That’s easy to say when you have a wall and have had it for may years.

Says the guy in the city with a border wall

[SanchoP]

vibrant relationship

He must be referring to the stray rounds hitting the courthouse.

[kabar]

There are about 3 million Mexicans with Border Crossing Cards (BCC). They go back and forth on a daily basis, many spending money in the US. There are economic reasons for the mayor to cozy up to the Mexicans.

One time when I was down their in the 90s, a news story was about the PD locating a large number of brand new police cars stolen before they were even assigned. They found them south of the border repainted for the a police force in Mexico.

Vibrant? If we had a real FBI the finances of all those borders politician would be investigated for any "vibrant" cash arrangements with cartels and/or other foreign sources.

For this mayor in particularly, if he finds it “virtually impossible to tell where El Paso ends and Juarez begins” he should be impeached and barred from holding public office.

In the last week, wasn’t there just an alert to Americans NOT to travel to Juarez?

Dee Margo, a Republican, said there's a vibrant relationship between his city -- the largest on that border -- and Juarez, Mexico.

Yeah, my interest in Dee Morgan's "vibrant relationship" is zero - we must have a secure border. Trump was elected to build a border wall, and Republicans who oppose him in this are as worthless as Democrats who oppose him in this.

This is CNN. America’s Fake News Headquarters.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Like we always say in Texas, “Dayum, Margo.”

[Nifster]

Oh sure thing Dee. The cartels dump bodies, send drugs, you pay for Mexicans to be educated and have health care....just swell

[Tudorfly]

Ah, another dependable story from CNN. All anti-Trump all the time, 24/7. Bah Humbug, CNN.

[trebb]

And Bloomberg ran as a Republican too - we know that “Republican” and Conservative don’t usually equate these days.

[blueplum]

somebody’s on the take

[BlueLancer]

Up until about eight years ago, whenever my sisters-in-law from Australia and England would come to visit, we’d go to El Paso and cross over to Juarez for them to buy some souvenirs. The last time we crossed over, about 2010, we barely got across the bridge before my wife and sisters-in-law started to be harassed by Mexicans. So we immediately turned around and returned to the US ... haven’t been back since, and, unless I inside an M1 Abrams or an M2 Bradley, I won’t ever do so again.

[Lean-Right]

I guess you could say that 200 murders
per month (in Juarez) would allow for
vibrancy in a relationship between
the two cities.
