Drug czar pushes for unified border frontier against crime
U S drug czar Barry McCaffrey met border officials in El Paso to firm a plan for a unified frontier against the international drug trade. He aims to create a central border coordinator, port coordinators, adequate staffing, and advanced technology to streamline policy and enforcement across agencies along the 2000 mile U S Mexico border. The plan targets reducing drug smuggling by shifting enforcement to key corridors such as El Paso Ciudad Juarez before moving to sea routes. McCaffrey said the goal is to largely eliminate drug smuggling within five years, though implementation faces agency autonomy concerns.
