"Very different" because most of my rancher friends on the border (dozens) have had their fences cut, livestock lost or injured or killed, houses and sheds sacked, outdoor hoses left on, stock tanks damaged by garbage or clothes or other items of contaminant. The hit-and-run and uninsured motorist issues are many orders of magnitude worse than other cities. I used to work in schools in IT and the classes I entered were taught 50% in english and 50% in spanish, so each kid only got 50% of a teacher's time at any given time. There are dozens of other factors that caused me to use the phrase "very different" because I've not seen these same issues (some at all and some to the same degree) in cities further north when I have visited for long periods of time.
