Cy...sigh.

Ok, the tampering count was vacated and remanded for resentencing.

I did not commit a crime today, and I’m not going to say what crime I didn’t commit. THAT is a cover up, because I should be able to come clean about not committing a crime, so should I now go to prison for 12 years for not revealing the nature of the crime I didn’t commit today?

This case is just absent of justice. The drug smugglers have won. And I can’t seem to convince my neighbors in any way what dangers lie ahead.

Even some of our very own Freepers want to deny that there is any threat.

We have serious problems on the SW border that our government will not address.

Fortunately, I had the presence of mind to prepare. God help those that think all is well.

I hear you. As I have stated previously, most of my relatives live in Mexico and I am keenly aware of the situation there.

I cannot emphasize enough how disastrous the PRI's legacy is proving to be.

"Well, I'm sorry it didn't pass, because I felt strongly that the comprehensive approach to immigration reform was necessary for border enforcement, as well as recognizing that there are people willing to do work Americans won't do," Bush said. "[W]ithout the law, by the way, we did put fence up, and the border is becoming more secure. People are now recognizing the truth that there are fewer crossings, and we've ended the catch and release and issues like that."

Maybe the MSM were right all along - maybe he isn't very bright. This statement sure lines up with that meme. He starts out saying comprehensive immigration reform is needed for border enforcement, and ends up saying the fencing and the end of catch & release have resulted in a more secure border and a reduction in border crossings.

I mean, did he even listen to what he said?

I believe you!

**Only two days later, the Washington Times reported Bush awarded a $61,200 bonus to Border Patrol Chief David V. Aguilar, who has been criticized by members of his own agency for refusing to support Ramos and Compean after they were sentenced to 11 and 12-year prison sentences, respectively, for shooting at an illegal alien drug dealer while he attempted to smuggle 750 pounds of marijuana across the border.**

Why would Bush give Border Patrol Chief, David Aguilar, a $61,200 bonus for for refusing to support Ramos and Compeon??? We sure know what side Bush and Aguilar are on. It is absolutely disgusting the way these Border Patrol agents are being treated by Bush, and the drug dealer gets treated like Royalty. Any BP Agent would now be neutralized, afraid of getting thrown into a 12-year jail sentence for simply doing their job.
