Schieffer asks no questions about border security, Operation Fast and Furious

Moderator Bob Schieffer did not ask President Obama or Republican nominee Mitt Romney any questions about U.S. border security during the third presidential debate Monday night.

According to the Justice Department, Mexican drug cartels operate broadly across the United States. (RELATED: DOJ says Mexican cartels operating in over 1,000 U.S. cities)

That level of cartel activity inside the U.S. marks a 300 percent increase since 2008.

During the second debate, Romney mentioned the botched gunrunning program — Operation Fast and Furious — a failed program designed to track drug cartel members receiving illicit guns from the United States.

It resulted in the death of U.S. border patrol agent Brian Terry and more than 300 Mexicans.

No questions were about the operation or other issues related to the U.S.-Mexico border.
