There is word tonight that some men and women charged with protecting our borders could be making their yearly salary in just a matter of days by taking bribes. That is right. bribes. Border Patrol agents. our the first line of defense in the fight to secure Americas borders. may have dirty money on their mind instead of illegals. all the while they are compromising national security for a fist full of dollars. This month. two Border Patrol supervisors pleaded guilty after accepting $200.000 in bribes and working with the illegals to come into the United States. These supervisors were working on a test program set up between the Border Patrol and the Mexican Government where human smugglers. coyotes as we call them. were arrested in the United States and were supposed to be deported back to Mexico for prosecution. This is the same program that these officials have been raving about. They even came to Washington and testified before Congress that 82 suspected smugglers were returned back to Mexico last year.
