Feds Offer Giant Reward (total $350,000) in Border Slaying (Agent Rosas)
NBC ^ | 8/6/2009 | By ERIC S. PAGE, MARI PAYTON and H. HUGHES

Federal officials added a quarter-million dollars to the already enormous FBI reward for information leading to the killer(s) of Agent Robert Rosas.

Rosas's body was found on the night of July 23 near Campo. The 30-year-old agent was killed while responding alone to a suspected border incursion near Campo. He was shot in the head and body, said Keith Slotter, special agent in charge of the FBI's San Diego bureau.

The $250,000 reward offered Thursday by U.S. Customs and Border Protection is in addition to the $100,000 put up by the FBI last month. Both rewards are for the arrest and conviction of the killer(s). The FBI has also said anyone with information leading to the recovery of Rosas' missing black Heckler Koch (HK) P2000 .40 caliber service pistol would be eligible for a $10,000 reward.

I’m all for a reward, and I’m also glad that our federal servants in these agencies have dipped into their own pockets to come up with such a LARGE amount of money, rather than just sticking the taxpayers with such a big bill as some might do.

The feds aren’t really “offering” anything.

They are just saying they will crank up the printing presses again.

If somebody was really “offering” something, then they would say something like “Well, I’ll sell my million dollar house, give you 350K of the proceeds, and buy a smaller joint”.

In other words, to truly “offer” something, you gotta have some skin in the game.

But those guys have none. They can print as much as they want, make promises to whoever, and no matter what, they keep getting their salary, and their retirement, and their medical, and their plush benefits.

So I get tired of hearing about “full faith and credit”. It no longer has anything to do with the “full faith and credit” of the American people. How much “full faith and credit” do you have with the folks in DC?

Why would we expect this radical left wing POS to be concerned about the murder of one of our border agents when he doesn’t believe in enforcing the immigration laws of the United States. He can’t even prove that he met the eligibility requirements for running as president.

Fallen Agent Robert Rosas Honored at Professional Bull Riders Event in San Antonio

August 06, 2009

http://www.tribwekchron.com/Fallen%20Agent%20Honored%202009%2008%2006%20news.htm

San Antonio – Fallen U.S. Border Patrol Agent Robert Rosas was honored last weekend during a Professional Bull Riders event in San Antonio, Texas.

The PBR paid tribute by reserving a seat at the arena for Agent Rosas as two Border Patrol Honor Guard sentries stood by. Placed upon the reserved seat was a pair of standard uniform boots, a duty belt, western hat, a rose and a pair of white gloves. During the event an announcement to those gathered in the arena honored Agent Rosas’ service and sacrifice.

Agent Rosas was shot and killed on July 23, near Campo, Calif., after responding to suspicious activity in an area notorious for alien drug smuggling

“Everyone involved with the PBR is deeply saddened by the loss of Agent Rosas,” said Sean Gleason, PBR’s Chief Operating Officer. “Although we recognize and honor the United States Border Patrol at every event for the sacrifices they make, we continually hope that tragedy will not strike close to home. Agent Rosas will be forever remembered by the PBR as a brave individual who gave his life to protect our freedoms.”[snip]
