A top House Republican is calling on the Department of Homeland Security not to retaliate against a border patrol agent who has recently criticized President Obama's immigration policies.

When you work for a government organization of any type it’s all about “not making waves” and becoming a member of the so called “team.”
Nothing like a good probing from the Feds. I expect one around August from the IRS. I get audited every year it seems.
