Thanks, but it really bugs me sometimes that the general population is so befuddled that they don't see these slaps to their intelligence when it's so obvious that they're being played for suckers. The danger here (IMO) is allowing a foothold in legal precedence allowing much greater abuse in the future.
These two good but overly-trusting agents must be saved lest the other dedicated Border Patrol regard the whole game as fixed and give in to the Mexican standard. That would mean 'Game Over' and render all enforcement a cruel and expensive joke.
