MEXICO CITY – The Mexican Senate on Thursday called a hearing over reports that U.S. agents allowed guns to be smuggled into Mexico as part of investigations into drug traffickers.
The Senate voted to summon U.S. Ambassador Arturo Sarukhan to discuss the issue, though it set no date. The lawmakers also asked Foreign Relations Secretary Patricia Espinoza to demand information from the U.S. State Department.
CBS News and the nonprofit Center for Public Integrity reported that agents of the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives investigating gunrunning by cartels allowed hundreds of guns purchased in the U.S. to go into Mexico.

“Project Gunrunner” scandal
February 23, 2011
“Project Gunrunner,” an operation run by the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, was designed to stop the flow of guns from the U.S. to Mexico’s drug cartels, but had the opposite result. Investigative correspondent Sharyl Attkisson reports.
Oh, yeah, I can sleep soundly at night, knowing that Mr. Holder will get to the bottom of this. God help us.
Mexico needs to control its northern border.
We’ll take our guns back if they’ll take back their 20 million illegals.
What did “Big Sis” know? And, when did she know it?

And I’m angry they let 20 million illegals go North.
Hey, Mexico, you keep your people, we’ll keep the guns.
How many guns come north from Mexico?
Hmmmmm. Well, they oughta consider putting up a fence or something, then.
I think Obama and Holder were doing this to push for tougher guns laws for Americans. Show that American guns were killing people in Mexico and use that as an excuse to take away our rights to own some types of fire arms.
I swear, this administration is going down as dumber than a decapitated chicken. LOL
The whole world has to be laughing at these jack wagons.
Since the American media and law enforcement won’t hold The 0bama Gang responsible, we’ll have to hope the Mexicans do it?
What the world is coming to.
Why you be hatin' on decapitated chickens? ;^)
Cuz I’m a Hate-uh! /s LOL
I swear you were so right on with that A-hole who must be stoned all the time.
Can’t believe his response and what the effect of his message was.
Just another obtuse mind, filled with self importance, lack of conscience and outright arrogance.
Total disregard for anyone but himself.
If he really does have a daughter, his lack of introspect, is just another flaw in his character she has come to expect and being used, by here dad, is just another day.
Sad.
If you are still up, are you watching this tsunami in Japan?
Amazing coverage and horrible at the same time.
I’m guessing the wave/waves, once inland, are moving some 180mph!
Just a guess based on VASCAR formula and I am guessing the distance between objects at that.
Yeah, that guy has a lot to learn. If he can or will learn from his experiences. I think there is zero chance that he will ever follow through on his "plan" though. He's not going to harm the most precious thing in his life. His game.
Wow! I keep seeing the same loop of the water overwhelming some farm buildings and crop rows. Maybe those were greenhouses, I couldn't tell. Loss of life is the worst thing of course but I couldn't help thinking of the billions of dollars of destruction happening in just minutes.
Who was getting paid under the table?
