problem one, mexican unemployment. for the u.s., mexican unemployment creates illegal immigration. officially, mexico's unemployment is 5.6%. but the c.i.a. estimates mexico's true unemployment could be as high as 25%. high mexican birthrates result in more people entering the workforce than mexico's job creation can cope with. the resulting joblessness propels economic migrants to go north across the u.s.-mexico border illegally. problem two, u.s. war on drugs seized mexico's drug cartels. in 2010, 12,000 mexicans died as a result of drug barons feuding over who controls the very lucrative smuggling markets through the north. by the u.s. keeping marijuana a recreational drug illegal, the u.s. war on drugs creates and enlarges black markets in the u.s. and mexico. since the u.s. demand for mexican marijuana is huge, that means massive proffers for the cartels. problem three, drug cartels cross the border. cartels like this one, the federation, cartel pacific coast, and la familia have their bases in mexico but roots across the border and through migrants and cities as far north as

and mexican authorities can work together towards being drug free and i'm not really sure how this is going to work is a drone is an arm paid for happens to catch visuals of a cartel leader on the move how long until authorities can actually reach them and who gets to fly them the u.s. or the mexican officials so many questions let's shift our focus back to where i'm concerned which is the use of drones which are truly the weapon of choice these days for the u.s. and pakistan they're helping us find the enemy but they're also responsible for many civilian deaths the u.s. is also expanding the use of drones for civilian missions are flying over japan to take note of the damage from the earthquake and tsunami and the department of homeland security is now toying with the idea of using drones to prevent domestic terrorist attacks and using them within u.s. airspace however i really doubt that i want to become a reality most americans probably have no problem with the. use of drones in other countries but somehow i doubt that they're going to be ok with those unmanned planes patrolling ou

government allowed guns to be smuggled to mexican drug cartels? >> according to a new report, drug violence in mexico has forced 230,000 people to flee, about half seeking refuge in the united states this is new details emerge about a u.s. program that allowed illegal guns to be smuggled in the other direction. cheryl attkisson has been following the drug trail. >> since our first report in which atf agents told us they allowed thousands of weapons to cross into mexico, one crucial question has been who knew how high you up. atf sources say they were told the controversial operation called fast and furious in late 2009 through january this year was to try to gain intelligence to take down a cartel. president obama was asked about the case in an interview with univision network. >> well, first of all i did not authorize telephone. eric holder, the attorney general, did not authorize it there may be a situation here in which a serious mistake was made. if that's the case, then we'll find out and we'll hold somebody accountable. >> reporter: but darr

in mexico the member when president obama met with mexican president felipe calderon well apparently they discussed using drones in a joint effort by both countries to stop or at least create a counterattack to the drug war being waged by cartels now we should note that most of the details surrounding this operation are still unknown to the public like how many flights the drones have made thus far and we do know that the manger on being used the air force is global hawk is unarmed but it flies forty thousand feet in the air and it has a wide variety of sensors but this new agreement between the two countries also sheds light on how both countries are expanding their efforts to take down the cartels the times is reporting that officials from the f.b.i. the cia the n.s.a. and other intelligence agencies are now working out of a building in mexico city which is being a fusion center where u.s. and mexican authorities can work together towards being iraq free and i'm not really sure how this is going to work if the drone is an art and if it happens to catch visuals of a cartel leader on

, particularly at the united states-mexican border. that effort has led to the kind of violence that we've seen in mexico that is -- that has resulted in the deaths of more than 35,000 mexicans since 2006. recognizing how critical mexican national security is to our own border security, and, i would argue, our national security, the obama administration, continuing their work, has taken the level of collaboration and cooperation to a new level and a new status. this is a work in process. but i believe that we have achieved something that is a critical as we look forward. i believe, regardless of changes that might take place in the leadership of the united states or mexico that we have with our neighbor to the south, for the first time, really since the 19th century treaty that ended the u.s.-mexican war, reached a level of collaboration and cooperation that will never, ever go back to where it was, where we had correct borders, not violent borders, but never terribly cooperative borders between the united states and mexico. the key to

president obama, what he said it to deal with over the last couple of years, from afghanistan to the mexican border. the oil spill, the economy, to egypt, a gaddafi, to japan. i think the big story is the big obama bust. the lack of leadership, the lack -- to prioritize, really to put his thumb and down and be a strong leader, i think is a big story. if you ask me and if you ask anyone else if leadership and experience matters in the oval office, i say, yes, it does. host: story about president obama in "the financial times."
