I have to check the data on that, but I do recall that El Paso
is unusually safe in comparison to the other border cities between
Texas and Mexico or even between New Mexico, Arizona, California and
Mexico. Why would El Paso be an unusually safe city if it sits on the
border in the fashion that it does? And it does. The gentleman from El Paso recounted that it is because they get
along with each other and because they have 25 percent immigrants in
his constituent population, and somehow they have reached this balance
of comity that they get along and so they don't commit crimes against
each other. I didn't hear him address the drug problem at all. He may
have and I missed it.
