the web of contracts providing everything from shoe laces to tampons to money cards to literally everything a human could need is massive. politicos on committees award contracts to contractors they owe favors to for contributions. the contracts jack up the price of all these things the contractors get money rained down on them, they get wealthy and give positions on boards and no shows to the politicos family friends and business associates, and then make campaign contributions and bankroll pacs.  the bp agents are simply ushers for the lucrative human resources and they are sick of it.  you the us citizen don't warrant contracts. you fund them.  does the border need closing or the contracts?
