I've been hoping someone would stop quoting congressmen without checking the facts. USA TODAY did just that. The Article in USA Today quotes Congressman Michael McCaul from Texas saying the Texas-Mexico border has never been more violent.
USA today lays out the facts based on reports from 1,600 law enforcement agencies from California to Texas that show violent crime along the US-Mexico border has been "falling for years". And, the decline in crime was happening even before the U.S. Security buildup. Of course, those kinds of stories don't build an audience for the TV advertisers so you won't hear much about the actual facts.
