One of the busiest border crossings between the United States and Mexico is at El Paso, Texas and Juarez, Mexico. Juarez has devolved into a killing zone, and the presence of the Mexican Army has not deterred the almost daily killings of enemies and perceived enemies of the drug cartels. Reporters investigating the cartels have been intimidated into silence or murdered, and authorities in the area are concerned about the effect the continuing violence is having on a the area's still vibrant economy.
