Bersin held the same post - dubbed "border czar" - during the Clinton administration. And three Mexican drug gangs the Sinaloa cartel, Los Zetas and La Familia Michoacana - have been placed on a list of significant foreign narcotics traffickers targeted for special sanctions, the White House said April 15.
