Unfortunately. in the past year. the growth and security of the border region has been threatened by a wave of violence. This violence has affected communities on both sides of the border. and has resulted in the highly publicized kidnapping of over 35 American citizens. If we are to restore peace and prosperity to our border communities. we need to act now. Last May. I organized a Border Violence Task Force in Laredo. TX. to deal with border violence. The group included experts from the FBI. the Alcohol. Tobacco. and Firearms. Customs and Border Protection. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. the U.S. Marshal. the U.S. Attorney. the DEA. the State Department.
