Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano conferred with her Mexican counterpart -- Secretary of the Interior Miguel Ángel Osorio Chong -- and law enforcement officials in Matamoros, Mexico, in order to plan border security cooperation to enhance public safety and security within the border region, despite numerous reports of widespread corruption by Mexico's government. “The United States and Mexico have taken unprecedented steps in recent years to deepen our cooperation along our shared border. We are committed to working together to support economic competitiveness by creating an environment in which our citizens and businesses continue to feel safe and secure, while reducing violence and increasing security,” she said.
