I’m still praying for the release of Ramos and Compean.
One of my nephews has just become a Border Patrol Agent. In his first week on the job, his unit intercepted smugglers with 800 lbs. of marijuana and 500 lbs. of cocaine. He is stationed on the border in West Texas. I worry that if he ever has to shoot a drug smuggler, he could end up in a Federal Prison.
I will add your nephew to my prayer list Palladin. It's not only a job protecting the nation, but a job to protect themselves from violent people who will do anything to enter this country. I don't understand the apathy by standing politicians about leaving these men in prison when there are existing factors indicating these men deserve at the very least to be bailed out and reunited with their families.
I believe this issue will in and of itself create negative repercusions and ramifications regarding the way people select their next president (is has unified people who are even more angry than they would have normally been concerning immigration issues).
Pictures from Border Patrol Agent Aguilar's funeral procession - not newsworthy by the MSM news
These photos (below) were taken east of Tucson as Agent Aguilar's body was being transported from Yuma, Arizona to El Paso, Texas on January 25th. Law enforcement officers from a variety of agencies pay their final respects to a fine American hero who made the ultimate sacrifice trying to protect this nation's borders. America has lost one of its finest. We will miss you Border Patrol Agent Aguilar.
