If I’m not mistaken, Juarez, Mexico had roughly 1,200 murders. While it’s neighbor El Paso Texas, has about 23. According to this dingbat El Paso would be better off without a barrier between the bloodbath in Juarez and relatively peaceful El Paso. The man is living in the Twilight Zone.
So you agree with Beto. The wall is causing crime.Tear down the wall. No separation between one of the most dangerous in the world and civilized El Paso. Is that your stand?
When you actually read the story he linked you find the wall had no effect, statistically speaking, on crimes in El Paso.
And for years, El Paso and Juarez had no separating wall, and yet the violence from Juarez never really leaked into El Paso. In fact, El Paso’s crime rate has mirrored, but been lower than, the crime rates of 32 other metropolitan areas with populations over 500,000…for 25 years…long before the border wall and even before the older less secure fence that was there before. And as you can see from the graph here…there is no precipitous drop in that rate with the addition of a strong wall.
So- a crime rate lower than 32 other cities of comparable size for 25 years and no real change once the wall was built…despite sitting right across the river from one of the poorer, more crime-ridden cities in Mexico.
And yet when states change their laws in anticipation of a push to overturn Roe v Wade, those folks crying states rights are being trampled don’t celebrate those states upholding states rights…instead they lambaste tem.
Well my comment apparently went right over your head. I said i love when cons want big government to tell states what to do, because cons complain about states rights all the time. What does abortion have to do with pointing out gop hypocrisy?
