Arizona Attorney General Terry Goddard told lawmakers Tuesday in Washington that Mexico and the United States need to collaborate more to confront cartels that smuggle drugs and immigrants into the U.S. and guns and money into Mexico.
Goddard, one of several law enforcement officials who testified before a Senate subcommittee on drugs and crime, said drug violence in Mexico won’t be contained there unless its government succeeds in its war against cartels. “It is in the interest of the United States to assist Mexico in that effort and to step up our own law enforcement activities to dismantle the criminal organizations operating across the border,” Goddard said in his prepared remarks.
