Safety along the Mexican border

We just did I-8 from San Diego to Yuma, and before that I-10 through El Paso and Tuscan and never felt the least uncomfortable. It was no different than driving or camping anywhere else. We did stay in commercial campgrounds. We passed through several Border Patrol check points and saw patrols everywhere. At one point on I-8, I pulled over suspecting I had a tire issue and our travel companions also pulled over. Our companion later told me that a Border Patrol vehicle had passed as we pulled over and had stopped on the hill in front of us and watch through binoculars as I checked my tire. Go and enjoy. The patrols are out there and they are keeping watch as best they can.
