The U.S.-Mexico border has become a war front. 
 Since Mexican President Felipe Calderón’s war on drug cartels began in 2006, more than 16,000 people have died. The violence between competing drug cartels and Mexico’s federal troops has left vacuums of power along the border that perpetuate territorial violence. Rival cartel families are murdering, gunrunning, using prostitution, carjacking, kidnapping and supplying drugs to the U.S., all to protect their territorial rights to the routes that run straight through our border. Most of the violence has occurred in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico which borders El Paso, Texas. Violence has also erupted in Tijuana, Mexico.
Mexico continues to be a major producer and supplier to the U.S. market of heroin, methamphetamine and marijuana and the major transit country for cocaine sold in the U.S., according to a recent Congressional Research Service report. The gaps in the U.S.-Mexico border have allowed these cartels to utilize this trade to amass weapons and create networks of organized crime, which has perpetuated the corruption along Mexico’s border region for decades.
