Good luck to you on your investigation!!
Crime in border cities has actually decreased (US side) in recent years. El Paso is actually one of the safest cities in the US.

I would suggest a little Google effort. You will see the perception of crime in Laredo doesn't match reality.
Regular viloence may be down, but Cartel violence is more of a threat. I think that is just driving the amateurs out of the border towns farther north.
