And as Mexico seeks to shut down the flow of drugs coming into the United States from Mexico and South America, we need the support of the United States to shut down the flow of weapons and bulk cash,” he said. The Obama administration has boosted the number of federal agents and augmented other resources along the U.S. border with Mexico in response to the increasing violence by drug gangs. In addition, President Obama has dispatched Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and other top officials to Mexico to formulate a coordinated response to the trafficking threat. Mr. Obama has noted that the United States must reduce its appetite for illegal drugs.
