Means “the pass,” and is the armpit of America and Texas. The 5th largest city in Texas with some 650,000 people or so along the border with Ciudad Juarez, Mexico. The city is unarguably among the poorest, most uneducated and dirtiest cities in the country and Texas, making it one of the worst places to live. There are very few good jobs and many people hardly have an education. This is why El Paso has more 99-cent stores than you could shake a stick at. Probably the only people who like living there are those who have lived there their entire life and don’t know anything else. It is the epitome of low class and could never be mistaken for places like San Fran, San Diego or Seattle. Most people are dirty, smelly, uneducated Chicanos who can hardly speak English—so little in fact that you cant even go up to the drive-through at Taco Bell or McDonalds without having to ask them repeat their words.
It has become a sprawling stain of ghettos, concrete, dirt, liqour stores, and angry people who wont hesitate to cut you off on the freeway and then have the audacity to yell at you in Spanish. Air pollution is becoming a big concern and the entire city is covered in a orange smog during rush hour. Many of El Paso’s new residents come to the city via walking across the Rio Grande River with nothing but the clothes on their back, making illegal immigration a HUGE issue.
El Paso is among the poorest, dirtiest and most polluted cities in America. I don’t know why it has such a low crime rate as poor and dirty as it is and practically part of Mexico.

El Paso is the perfect example of what illegal immigration will do to every large city in America if our nation’s “leaders” don’t tackle the problem now. The best view of this hellhole town is in the rearview mirror on I-10 headed toward Houston.

I wouldnt consider El Paso a part of the united states. Bc to include these imbeciles and their city into our ELITE Country, is like putting a terd in a nice salad. El Paso is a SHITHOLE just like juarez. Oh n the ppl here? Sorry excuses for human beings. Tbh id rather live in African American projects , at least they speak english lol . N Most will try to act confident but if you pay close attention, theyre really all just insecure and resentful. Plain n simple, most of the meskins here are just resentful bc theyre from trash. N when they see Americans, they already know whats up. Theyre like that jealous cousin who hates you just cause your parents make money than their parents lmao. Theyre like children , they dont know how to act. If u ever actually looked at Juarez, it only takes a couple milliseconds to see its basically a third world country. And jesus christ the women here are so fat and hairy n they wear tight clothing and booty shorts n its just wrong. Like seriously , 90% of the people here have missing or silver teeth n they drive these knock off vehicles n theyre incapable of learning new things, like English. I am so sorry if u live here or are being forced to cause of the military. Bless ur soul.

A city in Texas known mostly for it's rich Mexican culture and close proximity to the border of Mexico. El Paso has been call many things such as: El Shithole, Hell Hole, El Hell Hole, ext. But really it's not a bad place. You like grass? Well it doesn't got much of that. You like rain? Well doesn't got much of that either. But it is the number one safest city in the U.S. as of 2011 and it's military base Ft. Bliss is very big to.
Sure it doesn't have lot's of flashy amusement parks or huge shopping malls but it has lot's of nice people and an atmosphere you can't get anywhere else. Not to mention some kick ass Mexican food!

On the border with Ciudad Juarez and it’s sister city of Las Cruces, NM, the historic border city of El Paso, TX is like no other. Spanish explorers named El Paso as in “El Paso Del Norte” (the Pass to the North) in 1581 and was the site of various expeditions including those by Juan de Oñate. El Paso is also known as El Chuco or Chuco town because the Pachuco style originated in El Paso. El Paso also played a large role in the emergence of the Chicano Movement and has a thriving Chicano Literary community.
Demographically, the city has a higher percentage of Mexican and Mexican Americans. There many families who have always been in El Paso, even before the border was drawn. Remember that Texas, Tejas really, was Mexican territory that was invaded a very long time ago and before that was inhabited by various Native Americans. The vibrant and proud Mexican community is infused throughout, but this is no different than other cities whose primary demographics consist of Irish or German communities.
El Paso is about 30 minutes away, give or take a few depending on your location, to Ciudad Juarez Chihuahua Mexico. Their economies rely on each other more than some like to admit and there are lots of El Pasoans and Juarenzes that commute back and forth across the border on a daily basis for their jobs, schools, and shopping. El Paso is a border town and this aspect of its identity cannot be downplayed or ignored. This is what makes El Paso great.

El Paso is a pretty large city with a small town feel. It has some of the best Mexican food this side of the border. It also has some amazing steak houses such as Cattlemans and the Edge of Texas. There’s plenty to do if you actually look for it. Relative to almost anywhere else, El Paso is rather affordable. Check out Zillow for the prices on houses and you’ll see for yourself.

A busy city filled with Hispanic/Chicano culture with some of the best Mexican food you’ll find, some of the prettiest women with curvy bodies, olive skin, and dark hair. Mountain views on the horizon. Yes, it’s not one of the wealthiest cities in America, but at least it’s not a boring ass commercialized-cookie-cutter city like other places. For all the angry racist passer-by’s with sticks up their blow holes; El Paso doesn’t want your honky-tonky, pessimistic, non adaptive, sun burned, parched, whiney, cry baby ass anyway. We are a community with pride, and we come together as one. So suck it.

A crumbling metropolis spread over two countries, actually El Paso/Juarez, with some of the finest women and hottest food in the country. Lots of strip joints, low violent crime rate, very cheap weed, and one angry fucking cracker named Scott Durbin who's tired of motherfuckers talking shit about his home. Lick my asscrack, which is probably all full of sand and cactus cause I'm in El Paso. Die.
If you don't wanna be here, please fucking leave, we don't want you, and we're tired of hearing your bitching.
