All the major cities that's closest to the Mexican border still have low murder rates. It's a fact. San Diego, Phoenix, San Antonio, Albuquerque, El Paso, Tucson, Houston etc...
Houston dosent have a low murder rate, neither does Phoenix, or San Antonio, and last year Tucson had its highest number of murders in a year and Albuquerque is up also.

Per capita murder rates 2009
Houston-13 per 100,000
Phoenix- 8 per 100,000
Albuquerque- 11 per 100,000
Tucson- 7 per 100,000
San Antonio 7 per 100,000
No where on the internet could I find any numerical facts indicating that murders have shot upward in 2010 in any of the above cities compared to the 2009 rates which are rather low

11 and 13 per 100,000 is alot.
Meh, there are districts in Chicago with 45,000 people that have more murders in an entire year than ABQ or Tuscon.
Houston doesn't release info like Dallas does so the number is just ones where a report was made, some might have been dropped or re-classified.
