    U.S., Mexico Agree to Cooperate on Border Violence

    The Attorneys General of the U.S. and Mexico today vowed to 'jointly and with resolve and boldness' attack the wave of drug fueled violence which has killed hundreds in northern Mexico in the past 18 months and is increasing spilling over into the U.S.

    "Mexico and the United States will act as a single unified choke hold who's efforts will overwhelm organized crime that threatens the border area, a sensitive region of shared interest to both countries," Mexico's Attorney General Daniel Cabeza de Vaca told a news conference following sessions involving top law enforcement officials from both countries at a downtown hotel here.

    "Citizens of Mexico and the U.S. share common values and a hope for a peaceful world," added U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales.

    Fights between rival drug gangs for control of the lucrative drug shipping routes into the U.S. have resulted in brutal violence that has paralyzed the northern Mexico cities of Matamoros, Nuevo Laredo, Ciudad Juarez, and Tijuana, with the worst violence seen in Nuevo Laredo. Hundreds of people have been murdered in the city in the past 12 months, including a police chief who was killed after less than a day on the job. 23 Americans have been kidnapped and are still missing in the wave of violence, which is believed to be connected to murders committed as far away as Dallas.

    Most of the agreements reached today involve the sharing of knowledge and technology. The U.S. will train Mexican customs officials, the FBI will provide advanced forensic testing of evidence in its labs, and will provide forensic equipment to Mexican officials, and the U.S. Bureau of Prisons will help Mexico's notorious corrupt prison system use high technology to deter the introduction of contraband. U.S. victim and witness protection programs will be expanded to help Mexican officials secure the testimony necessary prosecute drug criminal in Mexico.

    Gonzales also agreed to send a "Violent Crime Impact Team" including agents from the FBI, ATF, Marshal's Service, Department of Homeland Security, and others to Laredo, effectively doubling the federal law enforcement presence in the border city. Gonzales said the strike forces have been successful in putting down spasms of violence in Miami, Baltimore, and elsewhere.

    "These rapid response team target hot zones for violent activity, and identify a community's worst offenders," Gonzales said. "They will work with our international partners to investigate and prosecute violent crimes."

    Both officials said the violence threatens commerce between the two countries.

    "Each country within its own jurisdiction will make its best efforts to fight this scourge," Cabeza de Vaca said.

    Gonzales said he is also concerned about an influx of the violent Salvadoran gang MS-13 into the United States. He said MS-13 has become a serious problem for law enforcement officials in his home town in northern Virginia, and is the number one concern of law enforcement officials he talks with nationwide.

    "Gangs as I travel around the United States, one of the two issues they fear the most is the rise of violent gangs in our country."

    The Mexican Attorney General downplayed claims that former Mexican Army Special Forces troops, known as "Zetas," are working as hit men for one of the drug cartels, and may be responsible for murders in the United States.

    "We do not today have reports of Zeta operatives acting within the United States territory, and as regards their operations within Mexican territory, it is either notably reduced or eliminated," Cabeza de Vaca said. "Doubtless there are free agents of vigilantes who have taken advantage and operate within these areas and have taken advantage and are responsible for certain violent incidents."

    This administration, which I voted for, is no different than any other would be on this subject of illegal immigration and the criminal elements that are a resulting factor. Left wing and right wing – they both abandon the American citizen on this issue. What concerns me is what our Attorney General Alberto Gonzales said today, “Texas is my home...and Mexico is the homeland of my grandparents...so I am very interested in the quality of life for citizens on both sides of our shared border.� He then goes on to say, “We share more than a border. We share a common desire for prosperity and safety...and a common commitment to peace and freedom. Therefore, we must increase the level of cooperation and coordination between our Nations.�

    But if you continue to read the details of the conference you will see that it is once again the abuse of American charity and that this is really only a one-way street:

    The most significant conclusion of the conference is:

    1. The United States will provide Mexico with training and technical assistance

    2. The United States will offer training for Mexican custom officials

    3. The FBI will detail for the Government of Mexico (GOM) how they might best submit evidence to the United States for advanced forensic examination and analysis, explore opportunities to transfer U.S. lab equipment to the GOM (and provide necessary training on the equipment) to assist Mexican forensic personnel in advancing their forensics capability, share forensics protocols to ensure full compatibility with international evidentiary databases (e.g., DNA databases), and consider mechanisms to permit the rapid exchange of forensic results

    4. The U.S. Bureau of Prisons will provide information to the federal prison facilities in Mexico on electronic devices and equipment used in the U.S. federal prisons to deter and detect the introduction of contraband into the prison system.

    5. The United States will share its experiences as well as offer training and technical assistance to Mexico on Victim/Witness Security Programs, a Crime Victim Fund, and a coordinated U.S. - Mexican Rewards Program.

    6. The United States will also explore opportunities to provide and expand training and technical assistance and equipment to enhance Mexico's capabilities in post-blast investigations, crime scene preservation, security-conscious investigative practices, and firearms and explosives detection at the border (including the use of weapons detection canines).

    And who will pay for this? Oh yeah, we share a whole lot more than a border.

    No ohflyingone --- that is exactly what they want to portray is cooperation so they have an excuse to merge the two countries together. "Oh' it's a big National security issue -- why we need international help and there is nothing we can do but get rid of the Border altogether-- better have an guest-worker immigration accord to stop the violence". Just like lieing thief corrupt extortionist, blackmail invader Vicente' Fox wants.

    See www.spp.gov ---Bush admin. --"See everybody we can cooperate with mexico as they are our bestest buddies and friends."

    Mexico in this case cannot be cooperated with at all, needs full refutation and needs to learn to clean up its corrupt act. U.S. Troops on the Border. Alberto Gonzales is a mexican traitor anyway that needs to stay in mexico - his only mission is to damage and corrupt America by "cooperating" with mexico.

    Oh, and by the way --- it's those bad drugs fault. It's the smuggler's fault (which the illegal Aliens knowingly pay)----NOT the lack of Border security or illegal immigration's fault (lawlessness- no enforcement)

    .......as Bush Admin. dawdles around helping illegal Aliens in New Orleans.
