They’re probably thinking this country is being run by a bunch of incompetent grifters, so why the hell not?

This kind of thing highlights deeper issues in the system. If people are willing to risk their jobs for bribes, maybe there’s more going on than just a couple of bad actors.

The temptations must be huge and the current political climate might reasonably proffer some encouragement.

Did you just defend corruption? "It must be really hard to say no" Is that what you were implying?

No! Corruption is rife, criminal, and mostly goes unpunished particularly in the higher echelons of society. These guys on the ground could be well understood if not forgiven for availing themselves of their own opportunity. They are probably not the first.

Not to state the obvious, but I was told the problems with the US borders were caused by Canada and Mexico.

But it’s Canada causing an emergency in the USA for not securing our own borders?! What a laughing stock the USA is!

Doesn't seem much different from the $5 million Trump card to me... Shouldn't Trump be arrested too then?

Is it just me or is it increasingly hard to trust that stories like this are real? Is this administration really above just making shit up to get rid of people?

Wait till you find out about all the border agents who sell guns to the cartel in Texas and California. Border patrol is the brown shirt 2025. They were all little scummy losers and criminals before, now they have been emboldened with permission from gay Hitler and his African advisor.
