The ongoing drug wars in Nuevo Laredo are spilling over into Laredo and nearby communities in the United States. I fear the threat of violence to our citizens who live and work in border regions will only continue to escalate. This condition is unacceptable and Mexico must act immediately to end this situation. Federal. state. and local law enforcement officials along the border routinely seize guns. ammunition. drugs. and illegal aliens. Additionally. Border Patrol agents face hundreds of assaults each year ranging from shootings. to rock throwing. to attempts to run them over. In August 2005. I sent a letter to the Attorney General requesting that additional resources be allocated to remedy this situation.
