Obama is not in a hurry to re-enforce the frontier

(Maria Coca)
Felipe Calderon, mexican president re-enforce the border by sending an extend amount of army troops. However, President Barack Obama is a lot more interested in sending troops to Afghanistan. President Obama shows persistence to provide another 250 soldiers in addition to the 150 already covering the frontier in the fight for drug trafficking and terrorism.
President Obama insisted on the use of strategies instead of military tactics to enforce security on the border with Mexico; with this president Obama " emphasizes the practice of sophisticated technological tactics to detect human movements on the frontier line, the increment of federal agents to prevent arm traffic into Mexico, and the creation of a new intelligence of FBI at El Paso, and Texas to examine the problematic of Mexico."
Since DHS has faced problems to finish Project 28, this technology hasn't been able to put in practice, so Mexico has to rely in their own sources to fight narco-traffic and illegal immigration (although mexican sheriffs declined any help in this regard because as they stated this is a federal problem), so Mexico is alone in the fight with narco-traffic on the frontier.
