when u.s. agents in mexico were ambushed by the members of the notorious drug gang, a cartel, they were never given a fighting chance. that may soon change. nine days ago, jaime zapata, a u.s. immigration and customs enforcement agent was murdered, his partner, victor avila, was wounded. they are driving to northern mexico when their vehicle was suddenly stopped, a gunman just opened fire on them, even though they were unarmed americans, and posed no threat. that area, of course, the epicenter of a violent power struggle between two rival drug gangs, the zetas and the gulf cartel, but mexican law prohibits our agents from carrying weapons and now american lawmakers want or agents in mexico to be able to defend themselves at the very least. representative mike mccall, republican of texas, among those weighing these actions, he said this to fox news, quote, it seems to me we re assisting the mexican government in this war against the drug cartels,
