In July 2010, less than an hour's drive from the Mexican border, Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested one of their own special agents for selling the home addresses of her fellow agents to the Sinaloa cartel.
Last May, instead of arresting drug traffickers, a Santa Cruz County sheriff's deputy was busted for becoming one. FBI agents arrested Deputy Jesus Contreras, a six-year veteran of Customs and Border Protection, and another man, Ernesto Castro. The FBI arrested Contreras while on the job after Contreras actually used his own squad car to transport 5-kilograms of cocaine past the I-19 checkpoint while in uniform. The real statistics are anybody's guess. Nobody knows how many moles are dug into departments, how many bribed inspectors, how many paid officers are still on the job, quietly looking the other way. Or for that matter how many times out in the bush, a Border Patrol or sheriff's deputy runs into a drug squad who heavily outnumbers and outguns them, and they simply, as ranchers have for decades, ride on.
American police are the finest in the world. But they are simply unprepared to deal with the tactics, techniques and procedures of professional spies and trained soldiers. [...]
How can the U.S. successfully fight gang infiltration, cartel espionage, and cartel armies? How can agencies with limited focus and resources fight organizations with unlimited ones? There is only one coherent answer, one clear way. Besides surrendering our border as the cartels want. And after 10 years of hard fighting in the Mideast, American veterans would never countenance it. The answer, the only solution is inevitable, unpleasant and unthinkable. But already the Pentagon is quietly planning for it. Our next war is Mexico.
