Corrupt U.S. Border officials
With evidence of corrupt U.S. border officials allowing illegal immigrants to enter the country in exchange for bribes, the FBI is concerned terrorists or materials that could be used in a terrorist attack might also slip through. [ABC News]
In one instance at the U.S.-Mexico border, FBI video surveillance obtained by ABC News caught a truck full of illegal immigrants pulling up to Customs and Border Protection officer Michael Gilliland, and being waved through his border inspection lane for $100,000, officials said.
And in Texas, an undercover FBI operation allegedly caught a deputy sheriff in the act.
“You can either pay me here or follow me all the way to Petula and you can pay the judge,” the deputy sheriff told an undercover FBI agent posing as a Mexican national, despite the agent having broken traffic laws.
“So the fine is $150 here,” the deputy sheriff was recorded as saying.
“You don’t have to worry about court or anything,” he said, after the undercover agent handed over $150 in cash.

Why am I not surprised at this?
It would be interesting though to see if any campaign contributions were made by this person or persons…
My skeptical mind thinks these were just the bottom feeders.

Whoever took the $100,000 to let a truck full of illegal immigrants might have made some campaign contributions. The other guy, the one that took $150 from the undercover cop, probably spent his for beer. Or bail.
