I’m concerned about it too since I live in El Paso. The devastation in Juarez to the people is horrible. The people who could, got out, and are now building their business and lives in our town. I heard there are nearly 135,000 illegals here as a result of the drug wars. Our schools are overcome. The question was raised: What will happen here when the cartel comes looking for those people? Also....I hear that Mitt Romney has a huge family connection to Juarez and other towns in Mexico. People with knowledge of the Romney family’s Mormon history tell me that the Mexico-Romneys are ranchers and very wealthy. Supposedly, one of his relatives was killed by the cartel in the not so distant past. I confess to just passing on information I heard. I haven’t researched. But, nonetheless, it bothers me.
135k Mexican immigrants in El Paso? Wow! I have been through there a few times and I didn't realize it was that big of a city. That would be a large number to absorb even in a city the size of Denver for an example.
