Agents Ramos and Compean were convicted and sentenced to, respectively, 11 and 12 years in prison. President George W. Bush commuted the sentences in 2009 after they had served two years The same prosecutors also charged Edwards County, Texas, Deputy Sheriff Gilmer Hernandez in 2005 with violating the civil rights of a Mexican criminal alien after he shot out the tires of a van filled with illegals as it sought to run him over. One of the illegal immigrants in the van was hit with bullet fragments in the incident, which shattered her teeth.
“Agent Jesus E. Diaz Jr.”
Another anti-latino racist!

Travisty!
The UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT WANTS THESE CRIMINALS HERE!
The weapons of our troops are aimed in the wrong direction!
These outrages against our police are just begging to become anti-Obama campaign ads in 2012.
There seems to be a war by the USA on the American southwest.
The basic electoral objective is the relocation of much of Northern Mexico into the USA, for votes.
Let me see if I understand this. Zero pulled all of the troops out of IRAQ because the Iraqi’s would not give them immunity.
So a Border Patrol Agent gets thrown in Jail for “improperly lifting a illegal criminal”. It seems being a Bp Agnet is a Lose lose proposition.
How about immunity for them from BS claims by ILLEGAL aliens invading the U.S.?
Ok, remind me again (I’m slow) - exactly who are these border agents supposed to protect and what job are they supposed to do??
Folks - the inmates are truly running the asylum!! What ever happened to the concept of right vs. wrong??
The bipartisan elitists continue their drive to eliminate American nationalism. I suggest that every Pubbie Presidential candidate be forced to take a stand on this issue, including Myth Romney and Ricardo “full of heart” Perry.
Does anyone know how we can help all these people who stood in our defense at the border, and got screwed by the bipartisan open-borders crowd? And what is your stand on this, Jaime Ricardo "Rick" Perry? You claim you want to stop cross-border criminal activity.
Waving the Ramos/Compean bloody shirt without recounting the factors that actually did get them in trouble is intellectual dishonesty. A small factor was their filing a sanitized report. I think we can agree that this is a no-no, even if we disagree about how big it is. Just think things like Ruby Ridge. A far larger factor was a genuinely idiotic, inflexible “gun enhancement” for crimes that involved the usage of a gun, which added a decade to a one or two year sentence.
Ping!!
BTTT!
The Bush Border Legacy Lives On
Our Government wants the Border Patrol to leave these smugglers and illegals alone.
They prosecute a few Border Patrol agents and pretty soon the Agents get the message. Sit on your ass and do nothing.
Our Government is an accessory to the drug smuggling and illegal immigration problem.Just as they are guilty of supplying arms to the Drug Cartels.
Follow the money. How many white collar bankers have gone to jail for laundering money?
For a matter of information. That story has been removed from the site
Every so often we are forced to remove stories from our site. We’re sorry but you just happened to request one of them.
They buried that one real quick.Out of sight-out of mind
Sickening. I just don’t get it! I don’t want to understand it.
