Stop guns going to Mexico
Assault weapons purchased in the United States are flooding into high-violence areas along the Mexican border and contributing to the wave of crime across the border. A large amount of violence has been centered in and near Nuevo Laredo, where about 128 murders have been recorded this year.
Many of the slayings are believed to be related to the fierce battle between rival drug cartels fighting for control of drug trafficking routes into the United States. A unified effort by law enforcement agencies on both sides of the border is needed to reduce the flow of guns. That effort would be helped immensely by assigning more federal agents to the border.
Until three months ago, Laredo lacked a permanent office of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms. In June, the Laredo office was assigned three permanent full-time agents. More funding for additional ATF agents in Laredo is essential.
