The problem is the corruption in Mexican government and Police force. I dont think we need to be giving more money to the DEA.

Will there be any oversight of where the money goes, how it's spent?

[el_inombrable]

USA will not send the money as is, they will send equipment, weapons, airplanes, training, intelligence, satellite images, etc.
