Sign reads: United States Border Inspection Station\u003cbr/\u003eThe administration of US President Barack Obama said on Tuesday it is sending more agents and equipment to the southwestern US border to combat Mexican drug cartels.\u003cbr/\u003eUnited States Deputy Attorney General, David Ogden said during a White House briefing on Tuesday that the FBI is \"stepping up its efforts\" and that intelligence would have increasing focus on \"public corruption, kidnappings and extortion related to the cartel's activities.\"\u003cbr/\u003eOgden pledged to \"disrupt and dismantle the Mexican drug cartels,\" through a united effort on both sides of the border.\u003cbr/\u003eThe measures announced by the Obama administration on Tuesday, include doubling border enforcement security teams that combine local, state, and federal officers.\u003cbr/\u003eJanet Napolitano, Homeland Security Secretary said 'best teams' comprising of law enforcement officials would be given to every state along the US-Mexico border.\u003cbr/\u003eAuthorities also promised to add 16 new Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) positions in the southwestern region. The DEA currently has more than 1-thousand agents working along the southwest border.\u003cbr/\u003eThey plan to send more than 100 more people form the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) to the border during the next 45 days. \u003cbr/\u003eA recent bill passed by Congress already provided money for the ATF to hire 37 new agents and support staff in the region to fight gun trafficking.\u003cbr/\u003eThe new measures included boosting the FBI's intelligence and analysis work on Mexican drug cartel crime.\u003cbr/\u003eThe administration also is highlighting 700 (m) million US dollars that Congress has approved to support Mexico's efforts to fight the cartels.\u003cbr/\u003eMany of the moves announced on Tuesday are a continuation or expansion of programs that existed under the previous government administration of George W. Bush. \u003cbr/\u003eViolent turf battles among cartels have wracked Mexico in recent years and led to a spate of kidnappings and home invasions in some US cities.\u003cbr/\u003eAuthorities have promised they will increase the number of immigration and customs agents, drug agents and antigun trafficking agents operating along the border.\u003cbr/\u003eWhile, prosecutors said they will make a greater effort to go after those smuggling guns and drug profits from the United States into Mexico.\u003cbr/\u003eOfficials said President Barack Obama is particularly concerned about killings in Ciudad Juarez and Tijuana, Mexican cities just across the border from El Paso, Texas, and San Diego, California, and wants to prevent the violence from spilling over into the United States.\u003cbr/\u003eNapolitano said on Tuesday officials still were considering whether to deploy the National Guard to the border.\u003cbr/\u003eSo far though the plan falls short of a request last month by Rick Perry, the Texas governor, that 1-thousand troops be sent to bolster border security in his state.\u003cbr/\u003eNapolitano is planning to meet with Texas Governor Rick Perry to discuss whether or not to deploy the National Guard.\u003cbr/\u003eWhile Mexico has insisted the United States assume more responsibility in the drug fight, officials south of the border also have bristled at increasing materialisation of the border.\u003cbr/\u003eWhile Mexican officials probably will welcome the stepped-up efforts north of the border, they have argued that much of the extra border security added recently has just made illegal immigration more dangerous and has done little to crack down on the illegal weapons trade.\u003cbr/\u003eUS Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton travels to Mexico on Wednesday, the start of several weeks of high-level meetings between the two countries about drug violence.\u003cbr/\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv
