The Obama administration has promised to crack down on border violence and work with Mexican authorities to curb drugs and arms trafficking. Hundreds of federal agents, along with high-tech surveillance gear and drug-sniffing dogs, are being deployed to the Southwest. Homeland Security is naming a "border czar" to oversee issues related to drug-cartel violence along the U.S.-Mexico border.
Alleged drug traffickers and items seized from them are displayed in Tijuana, Mexico. President Barack Obama has provided more money, technology and manpower to secure the U.S. border region, and is seeking $350 million in new Pentagon funds to help Mexico fight drug trafficking. Obama will visit Mexico City on Thursday for a one-day official visit.
