Resistance as USDA considers Mexico inspections- Walker Tindall

Recently the USDA proposed sending members of the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, or APHIS, to Mexico to insect cattle, a practice which hasn't been done in several years.  This practice ended because of safety issues such a drug violence, car jacking and robberies.  The USDA wanted to send workers over, however the government has refused the plan.  U.S. citizens have been cautioned in traveling to Nuevo Leon and Nuevo Laredo, major cities close to the U.S.  The APHIS workers have refused to work there and the USDA has decided to bring cattle into the U.S. for veterinarian inspection.  I don't think this situation should effect the USDA or the APHIS; workers should not be required to travel to Mexico if they are at risk.  I do believe that travel to Mexico is a danger though.  Drug cartel violence, especially in Nuevo Leon and Nuevo Laredo, has risen significantly in the past few years.  The USDA should not force workers to travel to Mexico.
