Obama: US-Mexican Border Most Secure in Years by VOA News President Barack Obama says the U.S.-Mexican border is more secure today than it has been in years, but that more needs to be done. Obama held talks in Mexico City Thursday with new Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto. The U.S. leader said immigration and security matters constantly overshadow the Mexican and American economies and bog down business relations. He said the United States is working on common sense immigration reform and is determined to cut the demand for illegal drugs, which contributes to so much violence along the shared border. Obama said U.S. security relations with Mexico will evolve as President Pena Nieto decides how to reform the security structures of his country. Mexico is one of the largest customers for U.S. goods. President Obama said opening the door for more jobs and trade is the focus of his visit. Obama will head to Costa Rica Friday for an economic summit with Central American leaders. __________________________________________________________________ [1]http://www.voanews.com/content/obama-us-mexican-border-most-secure-i n-years/1653594.html References 1. http://www.voanews.com/content/obama-us-mexican-border-most-secure-in-years/1653594.html
