T.J. Bonner. president of the National Border Patrol Council. the union which represents nearly 5.000 Border Patrol agents. told my staff on March 4. 1997: The level of trust for Mexican authorities is almost nonexistent. He said that. "the lack of cooperation Includes failure to provide asistance. aiding and abetting criminal activity. and even acts of aggression against Border Patrol Agents." He described U.S. agents observing Mexican officers who were clearly escorting aliens and drug smugglers. The police chief of El Centro. CA. Harold Carter. told my staff that his officers are very leery of who they can trust in Mexico.
