Border Security Alert 1: PARDON the BORDER AGENTS

No longer asking nicely... Rep. Tom Feeney DEMANDS Immediate Release of Border Patrol Agents

U.S. Rep. Tom Feeney demanded an immediate release of Border Patrol Agents Ramos and Compean who are currently serving decade-long prison sentences for shooting a illegal alien drug dealer they thought was armed. Rep. Feeney also demands an investigation of prosecutorial abuse.

Back in January, Rep. Feeney called on the President to issue a pardon and his request fell on deaf ears. In February, after Agent Ramos was beaten in prison by an illegal immigrant, Rep. Feeney yet again urged the President to pardon the agents. Now, Osvaldo Aldrete-Davila, the drug smuggler who Ramos and Compean are in prison for shooting, was arrested again yesterday on drug smuggling charges after he was given immunity by U.S. Attorney Johnny Sutton. Even more disturbing is that the U.S. government may have known about his drug-smuggling history.

"The President needs to immediately intervene and release Border Agents Ramos and Compean. At this point, the President's competence and willingness to defend our borders is in serious question.

"Every red-blooded American should be outraged at the mistreatment of the Border Security Agents who are out-numbered and out-gunned for 2,000 miles along America's borders. When the Bush Administration supports illegal alien drug dealers over our own officers, America loses," said Feeney.
