Mexico needs our help to improve citizen security, and it’s time we take bold, concrete steps to do it. We have a moral obligation to make the offer just as Mexico has a moral obligation to accept it in the interest of protecting its citizens.

In the last few weeks we have witnessed massacres in the states of Michoacán, Sinaloa, and most recently the murders of dual Mexican-American citizens in Chihuahua which included innocent women and young children. The time for empty promises is over.

My question is: where do you draw the line? What does the “red line” look like before our offer is respectfully accepted? Or will the line be drawn only when our own citizens and national security interests are directly threatened?
