became a priority and Sutton got the marching orders...prosecute suspects. I don't particularly like the guy but he was doing the job given him by the justice dept. and homeland security

I question that as a priority. You're right it's not Sutton who determined that; it was Chertoff. But given the magnitude of illegal border crossings, and the fact that the BP is forced to play "catch and release" for lack of resources, I don't think it was the right priority.

Fair enough but not your call.
