Do México droga guerra Em dezembro de 2006, o novo presidente do México, Felipe Calderón declarou guerra aos cartéis da droga, invertendo anterior governo passividade. Desde então, o governo tem feito alguns ganhos, mas a um preço muito alto - arma lutas, assassinatos, sequestros, brigas entre rivais cartéis, represálias e ter resultado em mais de 9.500 mortes desde dezembro de 2006 - mais de 5.300 mortos no ano passado sozinho. Presidente Barack Obama anunciou recentemente extra agentes estavam sendo enviadas para a fronteira, eo Secretário de Estado Hillary Clinton cabeças hoje ao México para prosseguir uma ampla agenda diplomática - agora ensombrado pela escalada droga receios de maior violência e transfronteiriço de spillover. Funcionários de ambos os lados da fronteira estão empenhados em pôr cobro à violência, e travar o fluxo de drogas e armas posição norte e cash posição sul.

A recently constructed section of the controversial US-Mexico border fence expansion project crosses previously pristine desert sands at sunrise on March 14, 2009 between Yuma, Arizona and Calexico, California. The new barrier between the US and Mexico stands 15 feet tall and sits on top of the sand so it can lifted by a machine and repositioned whenever the migrating desert dunes begin to bury it. The almost seven miles of floating fence cost about $6 million per mile to build. (David McNew/Getty Images)
A farm canal is seen at sunrise March 12, 2009 near El Centro, California. El Centro is suffering the highest unemployment rate in the nation at 22.6 percent, nearly as high as rates during the Great Depression, with Latinos especially being hit hard. The people of the Imperial Valley, an important food producing region in the desert north of the U.S.-Mexico border and east of San Diego, are plagued with a devastating combination of drought, a construction-idling housing bust, and a plummeting peso, which undercuts the buying power of Mexicans who shop on the U.S. side of the border.
