Mexican gunman fires across border toward U.S. highway workers

El Paso Times  "Drug cartels use this busy smuggling corridor in between the Quitman Mountains and mountains in the northwestern part of Chihuahua state to traffic marijuana and sometimes cocaine, Doyle said."....
"The shots from across the border angered U.S. Rep. Francisco "Quico" Canseco, R-Texas, who represents the area.
""It is completely unacceptable that Americans at work, doing their job in America, come under gunfire from across the border in Mexico," Canseco said in a statement. "Our border is not secure from violence that threatens American lives. Securing our border against the cartels and their violent threat must be a top priority.""
