Contact VP Cheney, and ask him to get Pres. Bush to at least commute the sentences of Ramos and Compean:
I think Cheney is more astute about the problems we will have if our border patrol agents will be afraid to do their jobs, if Ramos and Compean are not released. I reminded Cheney of the known terrorists who have sneaked across the border (including the Mexican border).

There IS no ‘covering up’ a crime when a crime hasn’t been committed.
In the 70s, cops were widely supported in their shootings—however questionable.
When Governor Bob Graham appointed Janet Reno in charge of the 11th Circuit Court of the State of Florida, she immediately prosecuted a City of Miami cop who chased after—then finally shooting and killing—a kid climbing a chain link fence out of his reach. The officer's name was Daoud. (Or Daud).
She impaneled a Grand Jury and forced a trial, finding him guilty. It was a wake-up call for all of us in law enforcement. For better or worse, we've been stuck with that mindset for forty years.
Another case of hers, known as the "Round Table Restaurant Shooting", involved a City of Coral Gables officer who shotgunned to death the City's own informant as the informant tried to leave. I don't recall that the Grand Jury went Reno's way, but times had definitely changed by then.
The 'Gables officer was of Egyptian origin. Daud may have been Lebanese.
"...Some of us don't see shooting an invader in the butt as a crime..."
I don't either, but the job of a peace officer requires that shootings need to be justified.
Their "defense team" could have invented a perfectly good response for courtroom purposes: alternatively, charges might not have gotten past a Federal Grand Jury anyway.
"...I think they should have been given medals for trying to repel an invader from a foreign country...But, I guess you don't care that they were trying to protect you and your family.
I do care, but they should have left the crime scene unchanged—as they've been instructed to do. Trying to get away with what they perceived as an error was, in itself, an error.
"...So they have to spend years and years in prison..."
It's their first offense.
A message has been sent to other bilingual officers who might possibly be considering changing a crime scene under duress. A throw-down handgun, for example, may still be perceived as a get-out-of-jail-free card. (Some may be foreign-born, and unclear on US laws).
They changed the location of their cartridge cases, which would have changed their locations for a crime scene reconstruction by investigators.
In many jurisdictions, their jail time would be perceived as too long, but this is a Federal offense, which are like "the old days" for terms of incarceration.
I don't see them serving those full terms.
Americans ***can’t afford*** to take the “job that others aren’t willing to do.”
The only reason illegals can afford to take these jobs is because they collect cash ‘under the table’, pay no taxes, and between the men and their wives and their anchor babies, they can have multiple purchased identities from which to obtain multiple (where there is an anchor baby, LEGAL) Federal and State benefits.
But we’ll never hear OBL politicians like Bush(s) admit it.

Man, is he stubborn. Apparently, he doesn’t watch AMW (America’s Most Wanted). Just about every week they feature an illegal who has murdered, raped, etc. and is fugitive. These, indeed, are jobs American citizens do not want to do, but don’t want done to us either. However, I am wasting my breath.
This is a major source of confusion. Compean was the only one of the two agents that picked up his brass. Obviously, the prosecution didn't think the crime scene was important because they never did any forensic analysis of the crime scene nor did they bother to recover any of the brass that was still left at the crime scene.
>>>>>The only reason illegals can afford to take these jobs is because they collect cash ‘under the table’, pay no taxes.... anchor babies .... multiple purchased identities ... multiple Federal and State benefits.<<<<<<
Of course. Absolutely right.
And don’t forget that those stolen American taxpayer monies are repatriated back to Mexico, Guatemala, etc. to buy farms, homes, and land at 1/10th the cost of living here in the U.S.A.
That’s a prime reason illegals are willing to compete against American workers at 1/2 the normalized 1980 - 2006 wage rate.
Quite simply, they can afford it.
You’re right. I keep trying to tell myself it isn’t so and give them the benefit of the the doubt that they’re only corrupt and incompetent.
This is horrible.
No more Bushes. Ever.
I agree 100% with what you said.
I guess that settles the question in my mind of Bush is a bad person, or just a bad president.
If he doesn’t forgive those two agents I will NOT forgive him for that one.
That would be a major blemish on his Presidency IMO.
Yes, even before our high unemployment we had millions of lazy ass Americans on welfare who should have been doing those jobs. Someone should point out to Bush that if his Comprehensive Immigration Bill had passed, we'd be looking at benefits to all those illegals. As it is now they're going home. Millions of taxpayer dollars were saved because of us mean heartless bastards not caving to your foolish idea. See Bush, it's just as we told you, we didn't need to round up millions and deport them.
