FireSociety Exclusive: Interview with WND’s Jerome Corsi on Mexico’s Role (audio)
World Net Daily’s Jerome Corsi -- author of the best-seller “Unfit For Command” -- is reporting that the Mexican government was directly involved in the initation of the investigation against Border Patrol Agents Ramos and Compean which led to their arrest, conviction and imprisonment.
Corsi, quoting members of Congress and sourcing Hill staffers, reports that Department of Homeland Security investigators informed Congress that it was the Mexican Consulate that initiated the events by contacting the U.S. Consulate. WND article here.
Mexican Consulate requests action In an interview with Grassfire.org's Steve Elliott (see audio above, transcript below), Corsi explained that no action was taken for days following the incident at the border. In fact the agents' actions were considered “normal” and the reporting "acceptable” until Mexico intervened. Says Corsi, “Then on March 4 the request came through from the Mexican Consulate to the U.S. consulate in Mexico demanding an investigation on the basis that the Mexican Consulate was bringing forth Davila and wanted the agents to be punished."
Corsi also documents how the Mexican government was instrumental in the initiation of the case against Sherriff’s Deputy Gilmer Hernandez -- the other high-profile case the case against Sherriff’s Deputy Gilmer Hernandez -- the other high-profile case involving U.S. prosecution against our own personnel in favor of illegal aliens. (See FireSociety petition supporting Hernandez.)
Agents pawns in Open Border agenda Corsi told Grassfire that these agents are “victims of Mexico” and the Bush administration agenda for “political and economic integration with Mexico and Canada.” Grassfire’s Steve Elliott says any involvement by the Mexican government is unacceptable. “The timing of Mexico's involvement is not, to me, as critical as the fact that Mexico has such influence. It is outrageous that the Mexican government has any influence over the actions of our Justice Department, especially when the alleged victim is an illegal alien career drug smuggler. Mexico has no place in U.S. internal affairs.”
Below is a portion of Grassfire’s interview with Jerome Corsi.
Actions: 1. Fax the White House and other leaders demanding immediate pardon.

Jerome Corsi Interview (audio player at top of page)
How was the Mexican government involved in the Ramos/Compean case? For several weeks [after the February 17, 2005 incident at the border] no investigation was ongoing. The Border considered the incident to be completely normal, the reporting to be acceptable and nothing was being done. Then on March 4 the request came through from the Mexican Consulate to the U.S. consulate in Mexico demanding an investigation on the basis that the Mexican Consulate was bringing forth [drug smuggler] Davila and wanted the agents to be punished….
On the Fourth of March we see an investigation began by the Department of Homeland Security in the Ramos and Compean case and a file opened by U.S. Attorney Johnny Sutton. Nothing had been done until the request came forward from the Mexican Consulate and the dates coincide -- March 4, 2005 -- the request from the Mexican Consulate and the start of the case by DHS and the Department of Justice.
So the Mexican Consulate initiated this entire fiasco? That’s correct. That’s how I see it.
This is coming out of the 9/26/06 meeting of DHS with members of Congress, correct?
That is correct. I’ve gotten a hold of notes from staffers who attended that meeting…. Those notes fully document and are very clear that the contact came from the Mexican Consulate and it came through the U.S. Consulate in Mexico and that’s how the case has begun.
This is the same meeting in which DHS misled members of Congress, correct?
Now we’re finding out that our own government is lying to members of Congress and our Department of Homeland Security may be acting on orders fro the MC! It’s shocking to me that there was no investigation against Ramos and Compean and the incident was considered normal -- in fact they were being praised because they got 743 pounds of dope -- …until Mexico demanded that George W. Bush be an agent of the Mexican government and prosecute these Border Patrol agents to defend a fleeing Mexican national drug dealer.
Why would our government be wanting to even take any direction from the Mexican government? I believe the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America that President Bush agreed to on March 23, 2005, …[that] President Bush has decided to integrate us -- political and economic integration with Mexico and Canada -- he’s going to pursue that agenda whether he explains it to the American people fully or not.
These border agents have been caught up in this… They’re just victims to Mexico as Vicente Fox has been pushing a North American Union for years…. That I believe is the agenda, and it’s openly there in the public record.
So if an American is shot by Mexican police and the American government tries to get the shooters prosecuted that's proof of an evil American conspiracy?
I'm going to brush up on my spanish. All young people should learn spanish for their own good.
bttt
yoe-yoe!
I think they are looking into pardoning these men.
read later
Do you really think our gov't would get involved if Mexican cops shot a US citizen smuggling drugs in Mexico?
If this article is true we can forget about Mr, Bush pardoning these people,innicent or not.
He has shown too many times that he will not do anything to tick off our Mexican incaders.

Ping!
If this is true (and WND does require secondary confirmation), this is huge. A foreign government tells this country to prosecute its own law enforcement agents ... and the Bush Admin complied.
It appears, to me, the State Department is working more for other governments than American Citizens... just as Joel Mawbry (sp) said in the book he wrote about it.
Unless you have an "in" at the Whitehouse that Judge Napolitano doesn't have, he says his contacts say not a chance in he!!.
What did they do last month when Mexican's charged across the Arizona border at National Guard Troops and forced our troops to retreat?
