U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers Farlis Almonte and Ricardo Rodriguez were assigned to immigration inspection booths at the San Ysidro Port of Entry. They were charged after investigators found phone evidence showing they had exchanged messages with human traffickers in Mexico and discovered unexplained cash deposits into their bank accounts, according to a criminal complaint unsealed Thursday.
Surveillance video showed at least one instance in which a vehicle with a driver and a passenger stopped at a checkpoint but only the driver was documented as having entered the country, prosecutors said.
Prosecutors said the officers waved dozens of vehicles carrying people without documents. They said both men were paid thousands for each vehicle they waved through.
This is why all this shit is bad all the way down. Border Patrol’s check comes in weak as fuck, they say fuck it this place is shite and crumbling anyway and I need the extra money and suddenly bribes are rampant as your walls fail to work. Corruption is bad for everyone.
Don’t worry we have a solution. Immigration gold cards… why would people illegally buy their way into the country, when there’s a legal way to buy your way into the country with drug/trafficing money.
