Maureen Cavanaugh : News about the drug cartel war going on in Mexico has been making the national headlines more frequently lately. Officials from the Obama administration are pledging to help Mexico in its efforts to defeat the drug criminals who are behind a wave of appalling violence in areas of the country, including the U.S.-Mexico border region.

But this time of year, there's an additional concern. The safety of thousands of US college students who make their annual spring break migration to Mexico and specifically Baja California.

Ahh, such a wide group of guests from all viewpoints!

Let's see we have Amy Isackson, an unapologetic pro-illegal alien reporter and the editor of the TJ press.

KPBS, isn't it about time you started inviting guests with differing opinions? Or are you just about pushing your one-sided agenda?

Smells like Fox News around here.
