This is scary. Not just for Texas or Arizona, but California and any other state bordering Mexico. This has been ongoing for a few years now and has been getting worse and worse. I hope they can put a stop to this violence.
I know it's been like 4 years now since my hubby was considering a position running a manufacturing plant just across the border from San Diego. I asked him not to take it because of the kidnappings and killings then. He would have been a prime target going back and forth across the border every day.

Texas makes emergency plans in case violence spills over from Mexico
AUSTIN The state and federal governments have prepared contingency plans to deal with spillover violence from across the border as Mexican troops clash with ruthless drug cartels terrorizing Mexico.
"Anything you can think of thats happened in Mexico, we have to think could happen here," said Steve McCraw, Gov. Rick Perrys director of homeland security. "We know what theyre capable of."

Mexicos active-duty armed forces number more than 130,000 and are being aggressively used to combat the cartels. But U.S. Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, told reporters last week that
Mexicos two largest drug cartels have fielded a combined army of 100,000 foot soldiers to battle not just government forces but also one another.
