You are right. The agents themselves know it too:

“I do not believe we can even make a dent in (southbound smuggling) because that assumes the cartels are complete idiots, which they’re not. Why in the world would they try to smuggle weapons and currency through a checkpoint when there are so many other options?” said Border Patrol Agent T.J. Bonner, president of the agents’ union.

According to CBP, between March 12 and April 30 officers seized:

—Fifty-one pieces of ammunition, weapons parts and guns..

They can state with assurance that they found 51 pieces of ammunition, plus ‘some parts and guns’. How many guns? 2? Maybe only 1?

And they want us to believe, as Janet Napolitano says later in the article, that there’s a ‘flood of guns’ flowing south acrocss the border.

Well, ol’ Janet can just kiss my grits. She’s either ignorant or pushing an agenda. And I think we both know which is which.
