Claim: The border city of El Paso, Texas, used to have extremely high rates of violent crime — one of the highest in the country, and considered one of our nation's most dangerous cities. Now, immediately upon its building, with a powerful barrier in place, El Paso is one of the safest cities in our country.

Q1: Before the barrier was built, did El Paso, Texas, have an extremely high rate of violent crime within the country?
A1: From 1985 to 2014, El Paso's violent crime rate was substantially lower than the national average for similar-sized cities.

Q2: When was the barrier added to El Paso, Texas?
A2: The construction of the barrier began in 2008.

Q3: Has the barrier in El Paso, Texas, lowered violent crime?
A3: No, because From 2006 to 2014, the crime rate rose 17%.

Q4: Is El Paso, Texas, a safe city?
A4: El Paso is No. 6 on list of the "Top 10 Safest Metro Cities" for 2019 with populations over 300,000 rated by SafeWise, a home security and safety website.

Q5: Is the fence necessarily the cause of the rising crime rate?
A5: No, because Empirical data suggests no significant difference in the average violent crime rate in border and non-border metropolitan areas, said a 2016 border security report from the Congressional Research Service.
