The crisis in Mexico is escalating with each passing day and more and more media outlets are picking up on the startling news coming from south of the border. Anderson Cooper recently produced a special report for 60 Minutes addressing the current circumstances in Mexico, the causes and possible solutions. In the report, he touched on many topics we've reported on here at Latina.com, including the arms bazaar that US border towns have become for the drug cartels, the violence and threats the cartels have been using to intimidate civilians and police alike and how much responsibility the United States has to help our neighbor to the south.

Check out the video below, and tell us: What do you think should be done about the increasing violence in Mexico? Do you think the United States should get more involved?
