I've visited El Paso a dozen times in the last few years. It's the halfway point on the L.A. to Houston drive that I make several times a year, and I always spend a night or two there. I've never felt unsafe there. Much lower crime rate than either L.A. or Houston.

I suspect Rick Perry's tough talk on immigration is an attempt to compensate for angering the TP with his support of states subsidizing the college tuition of illegal immigrants. He also said opponents of such programs "have no heart", so he has some serious amends to make to the gop base.

I'm visiting next week as part of my schoolin. We will visit JTF North and the Border Patrol HQ. Fort Bliss soldiers are prohibited from visiting Mexico and we won't either because it is too dangerous. Draw your own conclusions.

I haven't been to Bliss since the early 90's but back then El Paso was a dangerous town. You're smart to stay out of Juarez.

The dangerous stuff usually doesn't cross the border. However, three Americans have been killed in Juarez in the past week.
