I just spent two years in El Paso. The numbers show that the violent crime rate is a little higher than the national average, but given what’s south of there, it’s practically idyllic by comparison.

The vast majority of the border is wide open. There was a piece of very tall wall going up right off of I-10 where it skirts the border, but that’s about it. The lack of drug war bleedover from Juarez is more likely due to the fact that numerous drug lords’ mistresses’ and children live in El Paso. It’s something of a “safe zone” from cartel violence as a result.

I was watching Live PD (don't laugh) and one night there was some action where the El Paso county boys had to help Border Patrol. The illegals had snuck in, and everyone and their dog was chasing them.

I saw that a very good place to hide were the cane fields by the border. Any idea why those haven't been chopped down?

They did find the illegals, after searching through the cane fields.
