The violence hasn't spilled over YET in El Paso but the fact that the cartels have operatives, money, and weapons within the city makes it probable that it could. If the mexican military actually do choke out the cartels in Juarez they may start operations here, or maybe head to another border town like reynosa or nuevo laredo, who knows. I did read that the Gov was thinking about returning the national guard to the border if any major cartel violence did come north.
