" Whats your answer to increase funding to an Border patrol that has failed and is riddled with corruption??"

They're grossly underfunded and undermanned.

They're restricted from doing their jobs effectively by politicians.

They even likely have a few bad apples that are hindering effective enforcement in some areas.

They are hardly riddled with corruption. That's a pretty disgusting insult to people who put their lives on the line to protect our borders, the vast majority of which a good people working within a broken system.

point well taken - the rank and file try their best but I have had contacts at high levels in border patrol in 1970's who felt corruption was a major problem then..the wide spread smuggling of drugs and illegals and the practice of "lead or silver" leads to corruption and blind eye of the justice dept to our open borders also leads to corruption it is a fact I do not like it but I cannot ignore the obvious.
