(Mexican border inspectors let go)…It was a move that surprised many.

 Hundreds of Border agents were informed their contracts had run out, and were asked to turn in their badges and weapons. Saturday, the agents were informed the military was taking over their positions. Newly trained officials with the Exterior Commerce Department will reportedly fill the positions. The Mexican Military had reportedly recommended the change. Many of the Border inspectors who were let go are protesting the move, claiming they were let go unfairly. The military has said the move was designed to eliminate corruption and install officials who are better trained to detect illegal activity.
