DRUGLORDS EASILY ENTER THE U.S. FROM MEXICO?

Mexico's most-wanted druglords travel regularly to the United States,
moving across the border into California with ease, a top Mexican anti-drug
official charged Wednesday.

Mariano Herran Salvatti,the special prosecutor for crimes against health,
said law-enforcement officers had found video footage showing one of the
brothers crossing the frontier and it "was clear he was going from the
United States to Mexico."

U.S. officials last week charged 10 members of a San Diego gang with
assisting in the Tujuana cartel's 1993 attempted hit against a rival
druglord at Mexico's Guadalajara airport.
