Irrelevant to the case we're discussing, sorry.

No, it isn't irrelevant. Not when the testimony that convicted the 2 BP agents was from someone who, without the immunity, could have been charged with felonies, himself.

It shows that the Bush Administration was more interested in imprisoning 2 Border Agents for doing their job than an imprisoning a drug dealer who transports hundreds of pounds of drugs into the country.

The significant difference is that the 2 Agents are no longer on the border trying to protect the US from the invaders. Whereas the drug dealer is still on the streets and has probably transported a few more tons of illicit drugs into the US.

Actually, it is.

How many pounds of marijuana does one have to transport into the US -- twice -- for that to be a felony?

That is not relevant to the felony convictions.
