El Paso Chief of Police Gregory Allen told ABC News that violence "hasn't crossed into the town the way a lot of people might perceive.
"Not like it used to be," Allen said. "When I first came on the department, many of our crimes driven along the border and downtown resulted from illegal aliens in the country. That isn't the case as much now."
John Cook, who has been El Paso's mayor for eight years, took ABC News on a tour....
...Cook said the combination of increased border patrol, a 131-mile fence that stretches from one end of El Paso -- Texas' sixth largest city -- out into the desert, and a better Mexican economy, have slowed undocumented immigration dramatically.
