Ah..love can be so illegal

This story should give us all a lot of confidence in our border agents! Looks to me like there just might be an issue in the hiring and training of border agents.

Terrazas, who said several of her illegal immigrant girlfriends have relationships with border agents, saw nothing unusual about dating a man whose job was to keep people like her out of the U.S. “He had his own job and I had mine,” Terrazas said in an interview. “I never thought it’d cause problems.”

But it did.

Terrazas faces deportation again and Ruiz, 30, is on leave from the patrol. A second agent has been charged with felonies for giving Terrazas a short ride across the border from Mexico. It is one of four felony cases stemming from a federal crackdown against corruption on the Arizona border.

  1. I’d love to say I’m shocked to see this, but alas, I’m not. Not at all. Sad. Very sad.
