individuals, i think some in the order of 150 individuals who have been injured as a result of violence in juarez have been paroled to be treated united states medical facilities in el paso, and that has resulted in the uncompensated care provided by the hospitals there in el paso range in a 3 million-dollar range. i believe silvestre reyes, the congressman from the area, has written to the president about that when my secretary napolitano here. i asked her about that and introduced copies of those letters into the record. i know there's also some additional uncompensated care that the united states -- that medical doctors have provided in addition to the hospital facilities themselves. if the policy of the nicest government is such that these individuals are going to be given humanitarian parole for purposes of medical treatment, wouldn't you think it should be the financial responsibility of the federal government to pay those bills rather than the local taxpayers of el paso county or the city of el paso? >> senator, i understand the concern. it is a concern that we actually confronted followin

it's clear when you look at the violence going on in mexico particularly the city of juarez and other northern mexican cities that much of that violence is fed by vendor ready availability of large amounts of cash, large amounts of weaponry that come across from the united states. and i am concerned that we don't have in place the necessary infrastructure, the dedicated all bound inspection teams that we need to monitor any of that. is this something that is getting fixed? what is your view on this? >> senator bingaman, the notion that we need to pay attention not only to the matters coming north through the borders but rather going south, the cycle of drugs, guns and cash is actually one continuous cycle that requires an attention to outbound as well as inbound and cooperation with mexico is at the core of secretary napolitano and the administration's approach to the problems of the southwest border. last march in a 2009 when the secretary announced the initiative with respect to the southwest border she instructed customs and border protection and rac to engage in self and checks on
