Mexico extradites record number to U.S.

Over the weekend 11 mexican fugitives were extradited to the United States, making the year 2009 to have the most total extradites ever. the current extraditions is now 100, topping last year's 95. Mexican President Felipe Calderon has emphasized extraditions to fight against drug dealers. Many drug dealers have been known to escape Mexican prison's, and continue to work inside them.
I think that it is good that Mexico is trying different tactics to stop the on-going struggle with drug dealers. I think that if the drug dealers are extradited to the U.S. it will put a halt to their business since they are so far away from their company. Also I'm sure that the prisons are more secure here in the U.S. than in Mexico.
