'We have no idea of the actual extent of corruption, because this is just from the reported cases,' said David Jancsics, a sociologist at San Diego State University.
Over the past two years, the Trump administration has overseen a hardline crackdown on immigration enforcement at the U.S.-Mexico border–but a new study suggests that tightened security could lead to an increase in"corruption" among immigration agents and officers, including Border Patrol agents.
Most of the data was pulled from across three states: Texas, which covers the Rio Grande Valley Sector–the busiest sector for the Border Patrol, California and Arizona. Of those with less than five years of service, Jancsics found that 56 percent were involved in drug trafficking, with higher levels of involvement from those working at the southern border. Among veterans, however, that number was nearly halved at 27 percent.
