Rube!? You're the unsophisticated idiot who believes in Federal prosecution of American Border Patrol agents while at the same time these stinkin pukin Feds refuse to enforce our immigration laws, SS fraud laws, identity theft laws. You are the naive fool who can't see the you are being played!
Just wait until a drunk illegal alien smashes into your automobile then runs like a rabbit; and you pay for everything and your insurance goes through the roof. How about if he smashes your legs in the collision? I'd like to see your cries for justice then.
"Just wait until a drunk illegal alien smashes into your automobile then runs like a rabbit; and you pay for everything and your insurance goes through the roof."
Well, I don't have to wait for this to happen. I HAVE been hit by an uninsured, unlicensed, illegal alien. He actually did wait for the cops, but they let him go with a couple of tickets, and I did have to pay for the sizeable deductible (in fact, he tried to collect from my insurance!). Fortunately, I had uninsured motorist protection.
That said, I have followed the case carefully, and I wholeheartedly agree with Pukin' on this. These BP agents screwed up big time. While I would have rather not seen them spend so much time in prison, I do not think that they should be treated differently just because they are LEOs, and just because illegal immigration is such an emotional issue.
If you disagree with the sentence, work to change the law. But you really can't start letting BP agents shoot folks who piss them off and then cover up the shooting with no consequences.
