Two House committees convened together Tuesday to look at whether U.S. efforts in Mexico are enough to protect the Southwest U.S. border.
Panelists from U.S. departments of State, Justice and Homeland Security touted successes and urged patience but were clear there's a need to outline how they should interact with Mexico. One suggestion: Call on Colombia.
"I am a great fan and admirer of what the Colombian people and their government have accomplished over the last 11 or 12 years," said William Brownfield, assistant secretary of the Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs."
