Congressional subcommittee has dire report on border security

On Tuesday, the House Committee on Homeland Security's Subcommittee on Investigations will release a report on border security with highly troubling conclusions. The only information I can find on it is in this video report, which says that 100 737's worth (I guess that would be around 15,000) illegal aliens cross the Mexican border each day. The report also says that drug cartels control all traffic coming from Mexico over the border and that we might be catching as few as 1 in 10 illegal aliens coming over the border, and also only a fraction of the drugs.

That doesn't mean, however, that those cartels "control the border". The U.S. still - to a certain extent - has control over the U.S. side of things, but of course, that control is weakened due to actions taken by the GOP and the Democrats.

The report also says that those cartels have infiltrated Mexican law enforcement. I'm absolutely positive that the report doesn't consider the possibility that some "Americans" might have been corrupted. Unfortunately, due to all the money involved and due to the actions various "Americans" take, that possibility isn't as outrageous as it might seem. For the most outrageous possibility of all, see this for some interesting links between George Bush and some interesting people.
