Mexican lawmakers have made changes to laws regulating federal police to allow for the creation of a Border Police Force, or Border Patrol.

The proposed agency's main task will be to deal with crimes relates to drugs and human trafficking in both the northern and southern borders.

Tamaulipas would be one of the states that would benefit from this measure due to the large numbers of drugs and migrants caught trying to cross the border into the United States.

Already, hundreds of federal police officers patrol the states long border with Texas.

Just this week, they rescued 51 immigrants kidnapped inside a Reynosa stash house.

Federal police also arrested five Reynosa police officers and two transit officers on corruption charges.

The Chamber of Deputies, Mexico’s equivalent of the House of Representatives, voted to reform the constitution to allow the creation of the border police force.

It now moves on to the Senate for a vote.
