Drug violence takes center stage on Obama visit to Mexico

Over the past few years, Americas relationship with Mexico has been a rocky one. There have been disagreements over trade, immigration, and who is responsible for Mexicos drug violence. Some in Mexico blame the drug problem on Americas appetite for illegal drugs and its gun laws.

On Thursday, U.S. President Barack Obama arrived in Mexico City to meet with his counterpart, Mexican President Felipe Calderon. The issue of drug violence quickly took center stage, with the president again promising that the U.S. will do all it can to help Mexico win its war with the drug cartels.

Rodolfo de la Garza of Columbia University joins Martin Savidge to discuss U.S. concerns about Mexico, Mexicos military strategy and issues relating to the economy and immigration.
