Just not from the US government:

Mexico promised to tighten security on its U.S. border on Tuesday after Washington closed a consulate in the lawless city of Nuevo Laredo because police have failed to curb spiraling violence.

Nuevo Laredo, across the Rio Grande from Laredo, TX, has devolved to anarchy in the past few months as drug cartels battle for routes and the federales battle both the cartels and the corrupt local police. Street battles have reached the level of insurgency, with cartels weilding military hardware. The violence could easily spill over the porous, largely unprotected border. The US closed its consulate in Nuevo Laredo this week amid fears that the violence will keep spiralling out of control. In response to that, we get Mexico's promise of tighter security:

"Yesterday there was a Cabinet-level security meeting and the president gave instructions to radicalize the operation and raise its efficiency," said spokesman Ruben Aguilar.

He gave no details, except to rule out a curfew in Nuevo Laredo, across the Rio Grande from Laredo, Texas.

Gee, I'm convinced.
