Two brothers who worked as Border Patrol agents were sentenced to at least 30 years in prison each for smuggling hundreds of immigrants into the United States, crimes that the judge termed a threat to national security.

U.S. District Court Judge John Houston sentenced Raul Villarreal on Friday to 35 years in prison for being the ring leader and ordered him to pay a $250,000 fine. His brother, Fidel Villarreal, was sentenced to 30 years for managing the illicit business.

The sentences are among the longest given to border law enforcement officials for corruption.

And the Senate is going to add 20k new Union Agents with their Bill. Of course to qualify they must speak Spanish and have empathy for the Latino plight, what could go wrong /s

I used to work in the produce industry in California and have seen it all. In the winter we harvested and shipped from ElCentro and Yuma. The everyday stories we lived and witnessed would make Mr Rubio drop his jaw.

These clowns in congress have no idea what they are dealing with. Everyone of them should be rotting in jail for all I care.

So when is every liberal and RINO like Marco Rubio going to be arrested as well? Are they not doing the same?

The way I see it there is a very small group of people in Washington who have not committed prosecuted felonies that could lead them to jail, or violated their oath of office which merits removal from office. The later should also strip them of any retirement benefits that the beltway celebrities vote to give each other.

But are these guys any different than Marco Rubio, who supports law-breaking mostly Hispanic illegals before the rule of law?

I take it that was a rhetorical question.
