Overlooking Washington's Immigration Corruption - Is Wrong

How is corruption defined by Merriam Webster?  "Dishonest or illegal behavior especially by powerful people (such as government officials or police officers)". 
http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/corruption

Speaking as a retired US Border Patrol/INS/ICE agent, I say that the reason Washington can't get its immigration act together is because of corruption.

Anyone who thinks that (despite laws against it) the hiring and labor of undocumented workers is not sought after and used by corporate and private America - is wrong.

Anyone who thinks that Washington's own profitable NAFTA and CAFTA have not exacerbated illegal immigration to the US - is wrong.

Anyone who thinks that the US elite who run Washington will allow for effective border and interior enforcement of illegal immigration - is wrong.

Anyone who thinks that the undocumenteds' home country governments do not benefit by the billions in remittances being sent back home annually - is wrong.

Anyone who thinks that the US border security industrial complex does not profit from illegal immigration prisons and billions in border security reform boodle - is wrong.

Anyone who does not see the comparison of Washington's ineffective (yet profitable) 40 year-long war on drugs and illegal immigration - is wrong.

Anyone who thinks that the Mark Zuckerberg's of High Tech America who support comprehensive immigration reform won't profit from hiring foreign high-tech H1-b visa workers over American workers - is wrong.

Anyone who thinks that the lobbyists for Big Agriculture aren't against a workable H-2b agricultural visa program - is wrong.

Anyone who thinks that Washington does not turn a blind eye to the ongoing and profitable Mexican Drug War (140,000 sacrificed to date) -  is wrong.

Anyone who thinks that Washington does not put i's elite's economic concerns above the lives of US citizens and the undocumented - is wrong.
