It is certainly true that the lack of border security leads to a criminal element controlling that border. In this case. it is the cartels. And it is Important to remember again that the erection of the border fence in San Diego led not only to a reduction of crime on the U.S. side by more than 50 percent but again led to a reduction of crime on the Mexican side of the border and in Tijuana by more than 50 percent. Why? Because of the very point you have just made. the cartels lost control once the rule of law was applied to that sector of the border and law enforcement was able to get in control.
