Vietnam redux.

Allowing the “other side” A.K.A. the “enemy” to have access to our intelligence is always a disaster.

Oh no, I think our elected officials and appointed bureaucrats in DC have proven themselves in recent years to be incorruptible and absolutely of pristine and unassailable civic morals.

How could you even think that the might be bribed by billionaire Mexican cartels?!?!?

We have U.S. Customs officers abroad in Canada and Europe and also Mexico. This is a matter of reciprocity.

Excellent. Now the rampant corruption evident in our US government border protection agencies will be exposed by the uncorruptable, dedicated muchachos of Departmente de Moola!
