Keep an Eye on Mexico

Because of escalating drug wars on the U.S.-Mexican border, President Obama is considering deploying National Guard troops to the area.

Estimates are that over 200 U.S. citizens have been killed in these drug wars, and so far in 2009 over 1,000 Mexican citizens have been killed. Much of the violence is in towns near the U.S. border.

Mexico has beefed up its troop presence in these areas.
