...needs to assure that enough money is put toward making the police forces along the border sufficiently robust - precisely so they'll be the first line of defense for the U.S., just as it's equally important that U.S. border police be better able to stop the flow of illegal weapons into Mexico. The U.S. also needs to be able to share more information with Mexico - like intelligence about [U.S.-based] gangs like Barrio Azteca, whose members are used by the Mexican drug cartels to commit so much of the violence here. (See pictures of Mexico's drug wars...
...precisely that mind-set, however natural it may be, that most needs challenging. It does not take any simplistic endorsement of the benefits of economic globalization to understand that we live in an interconnected world. It isn't just goods that move around the planet. The flow of people from one nation to another - people with all their myriad hopes and resentments - has been taking place on a scale never seen before. Prosperity does not solve everything, God knows, but the world will be a safer place if those who have recently escaped poverty are not now told by those...
...addition, it doubles the number of joint local, state and federal border-enforcement security teams and ratchets up intelligence resources to track Mexico's increasingly chaotic mix of drug organizations, at least three of which are fighting for control of Juárez.

As Washington hyperventilates over the threat of Mexico's narco-carnage spilling into the U.S., it can't ignore America's role in its neighbor's trafficking tragedy...
...Ford Motor's lossmaking Jaguar and Land Rover (JLR) business. Since then, demand for luxury vehicles has tanked, sales of Tata Motors other models have softened, and the company faces a looming deadline to refinance $2 billion in loans for the JLR deal. "That's a major cash-flow crunch for them," Jajoo says. The company is pursuing several options: floating shares of Tata Motors, rolling over the JLR loan at a higher interest rate, and getting a bailout for JLR from the British government. "Tata Motors is progressing on the refinancing options and discussing with banks," a spokesman said...
