The end result of entrenched corruption. From FOX News:
Mexican Smugglers Nearly Interrupt California Surf ContestIt will be a long slog and they will lose some really good people but it took time for the criminals to become entrenched and they can be taken out one by one. The police are corrupt -- this is ingrained in their corporate mindset that mordita is a supplement to your paycheck. We need to grow a pair and secure the borders -- just how difficult would this be. Pretty cheap compared to the costs of the collateral damage...
Three Mexican nationals attempted to illegally land their boat on California's Huntington Beach Sunday -- about a mile away from where crowds were forming to watch a professional surfing contest.
Lifeguards spotted the small fishing boat at around 8:30 a.m., but when the men realized they had been spotted, they turned back to sea and were seen throwing a package overboard, The Orange County Register reported.
A number of people were on the beach at the time, for the U.S. Open of Surfing.
It is believed the men in the boat were smuggling drugs across the border from Mexico.
All three were arrested and taken into custody by U.S. Border Patrol agents on suspicion of smuggling and attempting to enter the U.S. illegally.
