If El Paso is the safest city in America and it's right on the Mexican boarder, seems to me, we have no crime problem coming across the boarder.
Or do these "criminals" avoid ElPaso to be nice for some unknown reason?
So stupid to be so frightened of folks coming from Mexico.
They went from STRAY BULLETS from Juarez STRKING BUILDINGS and EVEN PEOPLE , to a 20% DROP IN CRIME (according the FEDERAL STATS contrary to Lying Left "fact-liars" ) , and NO MORE BULLETS from the Juarez side of the border ZIPPING INTO EL PASO.
Try the FACTS.
.Before 2010, federal data show the border city was mired in violent crime and drug smuggling, thanks in large part to illicit activities spilling over from the Mexican side. Once the fence went up, however, things changed almost overnight. El Paso since then has consistently topped rankings for cities of 500,000 residents or more with low crime rates, based on FBI-collected statistics. The turnaround even caught the attention of former Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and other Obama administration officials, who touted it as one of the nation’s safest cities while citing the beefed-up border security there.
Federal data illustrates just how remarkable the turnaround in crime has been since the fence was built. According to FBI tables, property crimes in El Paso have plunged more than 37 percent to 12,357 from their pre-fence peak of 19,702 a year, while violent crimes have dropped more than 6 percent to 2,682 from a peak of 2,861 a year.The overall crime rate in El Paso continued to fall last year, prompting city leaders to trumpet the good news in a press release that noted, “Because El Paso is a border town, its low crime rate may surprise you.”
This town is proof that Trump’s wall can work
