(CNSNews.com) – Mexican cartels “increasingly” are involved in the “systemic corruption” of Department of Homeland Security (DHS) workers as the cartels attempt to expand their drug and human smuggling operations -- including the trafficking of aliens from terrorism-linked countries into the U.S., the DHS acting inspector general told lawmakers earlier this month.

Hmmm...perhaps we ought to be looking to tighten our hiring/screening criteria?

Disgusting.

Plombo o oro?

The rot starts at the top. Maybe if we had a President who hadn’t flung the front door wide open, his underlings wouldn’t feel as free to sneak people in through the back gate.

A reply I made earlier today:

When a drug smuggler accepts a side job and guides Islamicists bearing an atomic weapon across the border into the United States and an American city is wiped out, will we then finally reconsider our "war" on drugs?

When it develops that that atomic bomb was paid for in American dollars from proceeds of the poppy crop in Afghanistan, will we reconsider our "war" on drugs?

When our entire criminal justice system breaks down from corruption will we reconsider our "war" on drugs?

When drug cartels become so well funded and so bold that they openly challenge our constitutional institutions such as they are now doing in Mexico and wage bloody terroristic intimidations in America, will we reconsider our "war" on drugs?

And if there is another terrorist attack, the liberal media will cover for Obama.

Might lead a real, intelligent citizen to question the “why” of continuing to participate in a Federal system that is basically abusive rather useful

Two Border Patrol agents, who are brothers, were recently convicted in Federal Court in San Diego. One of them was a former official spokesman for the Border Patrol.

Plombo o oro?

Probably.Seems as if a new policy needs to be enacted.Agents dealing with the cartels should do quick rotations to the duty,their families should somehow be protected while on that duty (and after,perhaps) and a million dollars (or more) should be paid to the heirs of any agent who's KIA.Also,their orphaned kids should be guaranteed four years of college.

“corrupting”????

Isn’t being a valueless lib a Bona Fide Occupational Qualification (BFOQ), for DHS?

[pallis]

Obama’s DHS could teach the cartels a thing or two about corruption.

[gaijin]

Ever notice when you go through US Customs it’s staffed by rude people people who aren’t really even from the USA...?

By global standards it’s EXTREMELY weird.

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

Blood is thicker than water. For the unintiated it is called “La Mordida.” Simply watch “Border Wars !”

[penelopesire]

BS...they are probably getting their marching orders from Obama and Big Sis to bring in the illegals by the millions.

[fuzzylogic]

And they didn’t see this coming?

Yep, brilliant idea, create an army of security people that are low paid. I’m sure there won’t be any that are tempted by bribes. </s>

What could possibly go wrong?

[CodeToad]

Many DHS employees aren’t even Americans.
