I had a client last year who was engaged to a Border Patrol officer. He was in on a very large bust that involved multiple agencies on both sides of the border and hauled in several million dollars worth of narcotics and other seized items. The gangs vowed revenge which wasn't taken seriously by any of the agenices involved. Until my client's fiance was shot seven times.

Miraculously, he lived to tell about it. He no longer works for the Border Patrol.

The corruption in South Texas is pretty bad. Almost all the border sheriff departments have a difficult time keeping their deputies from going on the take. There is just so much money floating around down there. Add in the violence and corruption on the other side of the border and I start to wonder why we don't have tanks and AWACS planes by the hundreds all over the border.

Trust me it's not just South Texas; it's the entire Southern border. I know a Customs & Border Protection officer who was part of a big drug bust on both sides of the border, and was also threatened. He was told not to over react; but there was a drive by shooting at his home with his wife and baby in the house. Thankfully no one was hurt, but he quit the CBP.
