Two highly-respected whistle blowers with law enforcement backgrounds shockingly claim that the FBI is refusing "to investigate allegations that the Mexican drug cartels have corrupted U.S. law officers and politicians in the El Paso border region" after "big names" started to surface as reported by Diana Washington Valdez for the El Paso Times: "Greg Gonzales, a retired Do a 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."
Of course, it is axiomatic that organized crime cannot exist without public corruption.
The drug cartels have well-established supply lines, distribution networks and operation cells in at least 230 points across America through which they move $50 billion in bulk product and bundled cash each year, and there is no way this feat could be accomplished without a little help from well-placed friends.

Pathetic, but have wondered if FBI raid was ruse of sorts to capture - and protect- more serious evidence of Obama, Inc. wrongdoing.) Who knows...and who is really, in charge here...
There in jail, thousands of union jobs (unionized sheriff deputies) are made in these "jails" that house a thousand men.
I only see them doing something if something pretty big and bad happens at the border or we do it ourselves.
A president can't change it alone and those scallywags in congress sure aren't going to help-- not when they see it as a possible voting bloc or cheap labor to be exploited for their masters.
