(CNSNews.com) - Weeks after accusing President Bush of "shameful" behavior over the imprisonment of two Border Patrol agents who shot an unarmed suspected drug smuggler along the U.S.-Mexico border, a federal lawmaker turned up the heat further Wednesday, suggesting the president should be impeached if either of the two men is murdered in prison.

"It's shameful this was done by someone who is in the Republican Party," Rohrabacher added, saying Bush "obviously thinks more about his agreements with Mexico than the lives of American people and backing up his defenders."

Well it certainly wouldn't be good.

Let me get some popcorn...

This should be good.

I'm not with the Bush impeachment argument. But it would be shameful, and he would deserve a lot of scorn directed towards him.

I have been a huge President Bush fan. This incident is making me really upset at him. I am furious that he would leave these border agents hanging while they are being railroaded by a political agenda. Where is the pardon?

The border patrol has the highest rates of low moral out of most of our Government law enforcement agencies.

Who the hell is running this country? Third world dictators and monsters?

Pretty much.

I have not been able to take the War on Terror very serious when the president refuses to shut the borders down. The president should pardon these guys and then give them some more ammo. He should say publically that if you are a foreigner that's injured or killed transporting illegal drugs in to the US you are out of luck. Border agents should have licenses to kill when it comes to illegals or anyone else trafficking drugs..

The border issue is why Bushes numbers are in the toilet. He's been as wimpy with Vincente Fox as he has been with the Democrats. He always lets people push him around and for that I have lost all respect for him. All the presidents "new tone" and turning the other cheek has gotten him is his face slapped and the Democrats in power.

Where are the Ronald Reagans? We need someone like Ronald Reagan. A real man. Not wimps.

Between this and Perry pretending to be an OB/GYN I can say I echo your feelings.

W had a really good first term. This second term seems like one nightmare after the other. It is like they've lost touch with reality.

A self proclaimed "compassionate conservative" who is most compassionate to Mexican illegal criminals. I've believed for some time that his refusal to follow his oath of office in regard to protecting and defending this nation by leaving our borders completely wide open is deserving of an impeachment boot in his arse. ALOT of American citizens have already died at the hands of these criminals. I am left with no recourse but to believe that he just doesn't give a damn.

Like Reagan did something about the border....
