The cover story was "Over the Line," who watches the Border Watchers? Reported by Sharyl Attkisson. When it comes to securing southern border, some agents have been stepping over the line.

Cristopher Matson oversees agency, noted he had to be focussed like a laser beam. Serious threat to national security: terrorists slipping in. Mexican drug lords starting to link to terrorists, such as from Iran, Hezbollah. John Ladd noted 16-17 different nationalities had been caught on his ranch. Ladd: I don't have any confidence in our government or the people trying to enforce the border.
IPBiz note. This story, in 2013, on corruption is hardly a news flash. Note the New York Times article titled Border Agents, Lured by the Other Side
which appeared in May 2008 and noted:
In one of the new corruption cases this month, at a border crossing east of San Diego, a customs officer allowed numerous cars with dozens of illegal immigrants and hundreds of pounds of drugs to pass through his inspection lane, investigators said.
