Other laws?
If these agents were to be charged with allowing the illegals to cross with a blind eye then most border agents would have to be charged as well, not to mention this administration. Did they too swear to defend this country from foreign invasion?

RE: Other Laws
According to the US Customs and Border Protection website, on their first day they take an oath.

I have not been able to find a text of the oath.
The Press Release from the US Attorney lists the charges:
SUMMARY OF CHARGES
Title 18, United States Code, Section 371 and Title 8, United States Code, Section 1324(a)(2)(B)(ii) Conspiracy to Bring in Illegal Aliens for Financial Gain; Title 18, United States Code, Sections 371 and 201(b)(2)(A) - Conspiracy to Commit Bribery; Title 18, United States Code, Section 201(b)(2)(A) Bribery; Title 18, United States Code, Section 1001(a)(3) - False Statement; Title 18, United States Code, Section 2 - Aiding and Abetting; Title 8, United States Code, Section 1324(a)(2)(B)(ii) - Bring in Illegal Aliens for Financial Gain; Title 26, United States Code, Section 7206(1) - Filing False Tax Return Title 18, United States Code, Section 982(a)(6) - Criminal Forfeiture

These guys got off easier by pleading guilty to accepting bribes and filing false income tax returns.
