CIUDAD JUÁREZ, Mexico, Jan. 23 (UPI) – In 2018, 23 slayings occurred in El Paso, Texas, representing a low rate characteristic of U.S. cities that border Mexico. But it's a different story just over the international line in Juárez, a low-wage, export-oriented manufacturing powerhouse of hundreds of factories known as maquiladoras.
Juárez and El Paso may be minutes from each other – connected by four international bridges – but in terms of homicidal violence, they might as well be worlds apart.
