U.S. Border Patrol agents have been ordered not to arrest illegal aliens along the section of the Arizona border where protesters patrolled last month because an increase in apprehensions there would prove the effectiveness of Minuteman volunteers, The Washington Times has learned.

Their base won't let them, so there is going to have to be different measures taken (I'm trying to word things very carefully).
That tells so much about what the real agenda is, if this is true. Getting very angry!!
Stupid Republicans.
Our grandchildren will inherit a Mexican America.

(Tucson) In his most critical statement to date, Randy Graf today criticized Jim Kolbe for “micro-managing” the Border Patrol through the House Appropriations Committee. Citing a ‘Washington Times’ article in which Border agents are quoted as saying they have been instructed to “stand down” and to keep new arrests to an ‘absolute minimum’ to offset the effect of the Minuteman vigil, adding that patrols along the border have been “severely limited.” Graf is convinced the situation is “out of control, largely due to the influence of Congressman Kolbe.”
The Graf campaign cites the following evidence that Congressman Jim Kolbe is excising undue influence in the Tucson sector.
1. The Tucson sector of the Border Patrol (as written in the appropriations bill by Congressman Kolbe) is the only sector in the United States that is NOT allowed permanent checkpoints. Graf’s position is that these “checkpoints” can be a very effective tool of the Border Patrol, without hurting local economies.
2. As recently as last week on KVOA Tucson’s NBC affiliate, Jim Kolbe threatened to withhold funding from the Border Patrol for violating the ludicrous “NO PERMANENT CHECK POINTS POLICY”, written in the appropriations bill. All the Congressman could say about the fine Tucson officers on KVOA TV was, “they’re’ violating the law” (by having permanent checkpoints).
3. A recent stinging rebuke of Congressman Jim Kolbe by the rank and file in the Tucson sector. “Kolbe endangers agents and hinders the security of this nation through his ridiculous appropriations bill restrictions on our traffic checkpoints” *Local 2544, Border Patrol, Tucson sector.
4. Jim Kolbe has joined forces with Democratic Senator Ted Kennedy to push for “AMNESTY” for illegal aliens. The bill is called the “Secure America and Orderly Immigration Act of 2005”.
“All these bad border policy decisions by Jim Kolbe is the main reason I decided he (Kolbe) needs to be replaced.” Graf concluded.
Randy Graf recently announced his candidacy to unseat Congressman Jim Kolbe, the eleven-term incumbent of Arizona’s eighth congressional district. Graf’s campaign has adopted the slogan: “Randy was Right”, referring to his call last year for securing the border. Fiscal responsibility, securing Medicare, Social Security and Veterans benefits are all issues that are important to the Graf campaign.

Patooey! Where's that bar of soap. LOL!
Ah yes....MORE dumbing down of America. Too bad most American voters are too blind to see that they are obligated to keep up with who they elected. Which is WHY the politicians get away with doing America dirty. NOT enough voices screaming bloody murder over the blatant in-your-face wrongs.
And for the R party pols, well hell....they don't worry too much about us right-thinking patriots. We're the minority next to the horde of sheeple.
Not to worry- the same is being done by border patrol agents all the way up the line to elected reps...and...president... :(
Yes, it would be criminal.
Does the WH or GOP have anything to say about this story ?
Our grandchildren may inherit NOTHING. They may find themselves outcasts in their own former homeland.
Oh.My.God. I missed that one. Unfortunately, I'm not surprised with that kind of money involved. Thanks for posting the link.
This is disgusting, although not too surprising. If you have enough money, you can buy just about anyone. I'm waiting for the heads to roll.
lmao
