More Border Bullshit..............

That nobody seems to care about.

From the El Paso Times- Whistle-blowers allege corruption, cartel ties

"Two former law enforcement officers allege that they cannot get anyone to investigate allegations that the Mexican drug cartels have corrupted U.S. law officers and politicians in the El Paso border region.

Greg Gonzales, a retired Doña Ana County sheriff's deputy, and Wesley Dutton, a rancher and former New Mexico state livestock investigator, said that instead of arrests and prosecutions of suspects, their whistle-blowing activities have resulted only in threats and retaliation against themselves."


"Dutton and Gonzales said small aircraft regularly drop drug loads on ranches or other properties along the U.S.-Mexico border, and that some U.S. law officers escort the loads to the next stop.

The two whistle-blowers said that drug cartels have managed to obtain computer access codes to U.S. surveillance systems that let them see where and when Border Patrol agents are monitoring the border."


Having lived in El Paso for 3 years back in the 80's, I have no problem believing that the Cartels would be doing this. Just makes good business sense.
I'm not real happy that the Feds are not policing their own though.

Third world status here we come!
