I posted an article the other day, prepared by our own State Department, showing that smuggling of aliens from Mexico was generating $8 billion per year. It also stated that one-third of that money was being spent on bribes to officials on both sides of the border. I think $2.6 billion would buy a lot of politicians.

Of course this does not include the contributions from the drug smuggling cartels.

Was the state dept. bragging or complaining?
It's hard to tell these days.
