Whack-a-mole Drug War: Mexican cartels use money, sex to bribe U.S. border agents

The cartels can't use "plomo" - lead (bullets) to bribe U.S. agents, so what is left? The two other most powerful forces in the world: sex and money, of course!

Official: Mexican cartels use money, sex to bribe U.S. border agents - CNN.com: "Mexican drug cartels have used cash and sexual favors as tools to corrupt U.S. border and customs agents, an inspector general investigation has found.

In exchange, agents allow contraband or unauthorized immigrants through inspection lanes, protect or escort traffickers, or leak sensitive information, said Charles Edwards, acting inspector general of the Department of Homeland Security.

Testifying before a Senate subcommittee, Edwards cited the Zetas drug cartel as one of the leaders 'involved increasingly in systematic corruption.'"
