From the White House Blog
I just returned from Guadalajara, Mexico, where President Obama and I met with our Mexican counterparts to continue our collaboration and cooperation on a range of border issues. Today, I'm at the University of Texas at El Paso for their sixth annual Border Security Conference.
Later this morning, I will deliver remarks outlining the cohesive strategy that we've brought to our border security and immigration enforcement efforts. As someone who has been working on these issues for many years, it's clear to me that as our shared border challenges evolve, our approach must evolve as well. That is exactly what we are doing.
In the six months since President Obama's inauguration, we've instituted polices that reflect the reality that border security, enforcement of immigration laws in the interior of the country, and counter-narcotics enforcement are inextricably linked. In my remarks today I will discuss a new strategy, one that relies on simultaneously addressing all these challenges.
It's an approach that uses the laws we have in ways that are smart, tough, and effective. The UTEP speech will be streamed live at 1:15 PM EDT this afternoon and I invite you to tune in here.
Janet Napolitano is the Secretary of Homeland Security.
You can check out the live stream of the Secretary's remarks here.

It's a great to read something like that. Thanks a lot for sharing.
It gives you a strange sense of size reading about something which can affect so many people. I remember watching that speech, it's strange reading back on this now.

I appreciate that this information is available. Hopefully these discussions in Mexico can help with the out of control criminal activity in the border towns.
