Once this occurs. then these individuals are approached by these coyotes to see if they will let more people in. all in the name of money. Mr. Speaker. our national leaders are divided over what to do with immigration. what to do with the people that are here illegally. but the country cannot be divided over corruption on the border by border agents. Americans arent okay with people buying and flirting their way into the United States. They demand safe and secure borders and honest and upstanding Border Patrol agents. Make no doubt about it. most of our Border Patrol agents are honest hardworking men and women. But we must make an example of anyone who breaks the immigration laws. no matter which side of the border they live on. From time to time. we point out even on this House floor corruption of some Mexican Government officials that work along the southern border when they are helping drug smugglers and coyotes all in the name of filthy lucre. So we cannot tolerate a few border agents who. in the name of money. sell out America and insult the good name of most of our border agents.
