Answer 1 :
You'll hit 2 to 6 checkpoints, but the INS is looking for illegal immigrants more than drugs. What kind of vehicle you're driving really matters. If they can clearly see in, they'll probably just waive you through, but you'll have to pull through the checkpoint. More stringent from the Las Cruces NM area to El Paso than Phoenix through southern NM. Still just check points if they can see your car. BTW, it's been really hot. Grab some water for the border patrol/INS guys when you get stopped. Always offer the agent some cold water. It helps a lot.
Answer 2 :
Maybe, you will be sabotaged because the characters of drug wars in that place is drug addicts. Better to ride on plane.
Answer 3 :
There are NO harzards due to the drug wars!!!!!!!!!!! trust me!!! I have driven from El Paso to Phoenix and back about 10 times already (i have a brother stationed in Casas Grandes-Border Patrol, and i have lived in El Paso all my life, except for 3 years in san antonio) and i have no problems AT ALL!!!!! the last thing a drug trafficker wants to do is create attention!!! you have nothing to worry about....its kinda hot in this area (but you are already used to that)...so do bring sunblock.... have a safe trip!!!!
