Isn't this interesting? Now we are letting Mexicans guard the border and it is corruption at its finest as this story confirms. This is totally shocking that this could take place and it still shows that we are still being soft of security background checks for people who are assigned to protect our sovereignty from being infiltrated.

When Luis Alarid was a child, his mother would seat him in the car while she smuggled people and drugs across the U.S.-Mexico border. She was the sweet-talking commuter, he was her cute boy, and the mother-son ploy regularly kept customs inspectors from peeking inside the trunk.
Twenty-five years later, Alarid was back at the border in San Diego, seeking a job as a customs inspector. To get hired by U.S. Customs and Border Protection, he first needed to clear screening that examined his personal, financial and work histories.
Alarid had served in the Marines and Army, which was a factor in his favor. But there was cause for concern: His finances were in shambles, including $30,000 in credit card debt. His mother, father and other relatives had been convicted of or indicted on charges of smuggling.
After the background check and an interview, Alarid was cleared for a border posting.
Within months, he turned his government job into a lucrative criminal enterprise. In cahoots with a gang that included his uncle and, allegedly, his mother, Alarid let cars into California filled with drugs and illegal immigrants.

Funny thing is the right in someway has also jumped on it to as people like Reagan, George HW Bush, George W Bush also pushed for it too. So maybe it is not as clear cut left wing, but lets just say they're both in on it. The left to right elite that are pushing for it may have slightly different goals to where they want to push this towards, but
