>its safe because all the beaners are afraid of getting deported if they break the law
wtf I love mexicans now
Bentley Baker
Depends on the town. I can personally verify that Calexico, California is kind of a shithole. Mexicali is actually better in a lot of ways.

Sounds just like the rest of the other US cities
Henry King
El Paso is pretty safe. It's also unironically, no exaggerating, for all practical purposes, Mexican. The population is over 80% Mexican, the fucking town's name is in Spanish, everyone fucking speaks Spanish, the cops are Mexican, etc. The only thing keeping Mexico from annexing it out of convenience is the federal government and the rest of Texas.
Jordan Gray
Whenever a movie character is from El Paso he has a mustache, wears a cowboy hat and has a Texas accent, also white.
Easton Gonzalez
the funny thing is México deports more foreigners than America itself
Cameron Cooper
interesting, I didn't expect it, thanks
Anthony Thomas
that's pretty racist of you
why doesn't mexico appreciate diversity?
Carson Rivera
What's funny about it? We have been doing that on America's behalf for decades now. Obviously, because they asked.
Jeremiah Edwards
I noticed the towns at the border often have fences around the houses, something rather uncommon in other parts of the country, so I thought it was because of crimes or illegal encroaching on someone's property.
Thomas Jones
Joshua Parker
That's because Mexicans live in those houses
Nathan Mitchell
Yeah I don't know why they do that.
Elijah Ward
Maybe ''funny'' was too harsh, I meant to say interesting, not many people know that
Isaiah King
do you imply building fences is an imminent part of Mexican culture?
Justin Nelson
Many people know that. Fox News parrots it non-stop 24/7 as if Mexico was a hypocrite for directly following America's orders literally at gun point
Hunter Reyes
Yes.
Their wikipedia also states that El Paso has a very strong federal presence so perhaps the US outsmarted the Mexicans by flooding the town with federal stuff to keep them from getting uppity
Nolan Stewart

Fences are common here. Except it's usually picket fences. They probably use those because they're cheaper.
I'm convinced they do it because otherwise they feel like they've lost the city.
Andrew Long
That's a common Southwestern US thing in general
Henry Johnson
you can see how big the economic gap between the US and Mexico is, Mexican bordertowns look already very poor
>Fences are common here.
Most of American suburbs don't have them, at least that's what I can see on GSV

It's just a thing in the Southwest. People like their property lines well marked.
Daniel Bailey
hmmm
