I happened to see our local paper last week (i don't buy it) and it contained one above the fold headline on illegal immigration and 3 lesser illegal immigration stories inside.

As far as I know Rudy G and John McCain are still sitting out the first debate. That's what's so infuriating about this election cycle, the front runners are trying to get elected without ever answering any questions.

Have y'all signed?

Yes.

As far as I know Rudy G and John McCain

Two Rino shysters if there ever were. The MSM loves them.

All we have left is Fred Thompson.

Statement: "U.S. Prosecution Of Border Guards Is Baffling"

Response. No it isn't.

[org.whodat]

Hey, Karl Rove,

A man with his head up his a-- cannot hear so I've been told.

[servantboy777]

The prosecution of officials on the front lines of the border is nothing more than intimidation.

The next agent will think twice about enforcing the law.

[no-to-illegals]

Once there was a nation where:
Doing the right thing costs nothing. Doing the wrong thing costs plenty.
These two sentences once portrayed America.

Now in America.....Doing the right thing costs plenty. Doing the wrong thing has many a reward.

Remember my fellow Americans, the majority of the money is always on the dark side.

[Mr J]

Even if Ramos and Compean are pardoned, a clear message has already been sent to all Border Patrol agents: protect your a$$ before you protect the border.

[Mr J]

Exactly. Best to just look the other way, and count the days until the pension kicks in.

[oyez]

Tons and tons of money floating around from illegal narcotics is bound to influence politics somewhere. Nobody ever talks about it.

[servantboy777]

This all really makes me very sad.

Our government (Federal,State and local) are keeping these borders open for a reason.

What is the full picture.....that's anyones guess, but my opinion is "American Union"

It's all about the bottom line. I feel that policy in this country is being driven by corporate America.

Why else would their be such unbelievable chaos on our southern border in a time of global war on terror would officials at every level REFUSE to do anything to stem the tide of illegals and drugs. Why?

Follow the money.

[Msgt USMC]

Fred Thompson was one of the Republican senators that voted AGAINST impeachment of Bill Clinton. No cajones! Just another RHINO.

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

Baffling to whom? Certainly not conservatives who are pissed at this administration.This nonsense comes from the top.

[Deo volente]

Not baffling at all.

These good men are being sacrificed on the altar of globalism, with the tacit (if not direct) approval of the Bush administraton, which aims for nothing less than the elimination of our borders.

They serve also as an example to other agents who might still want to do their jobs.

The Judge in El Paso was appointed by Bill Clinton.

I don't think so, I believe Johnny Sutton was appointed by George W. Bush.

[ApplegateRanch]

I haven't seen Dane in quite a while.

About three replies back, I was thinking the same thing. Don't remember [I'd know it if I saw it] what his stanch, tag-teaming, partner-in-crime called himself, but I know we haven't heard from either one in a long while.

[SmoothTalker]

It isn't baffling to anyone who has paid attention to Bush on the issue of the borders. The President once had my full support. He no longer has it thanks to his wildly liberal stance on the borders.

[The Duke]

Who knows? But it's obvious that there's some ulterior motive here for the government's actions.

I suspect the reason is simply that these illegals are having taxes deducted from their pay checks and yet drawing much less from the corrupt federal government. (Which also suggests that all this talk of "amnesty" is largely only lip service).

Sutton is the prosecutor
