After hearing Rush's show yesterday I'm more convinced than ever that this whole affair is a travesty and these men are being offered up as scapegoats to appease someone. I don't know who or why but there's got to be a very scary reason for the DHS to lie to Congress and for the fedweral gov't to conduct a kangaroo court and convict these men like they did. This stinks.
If the exodus from Mexico to the US was stopped there would be a civil uprising, and possibly civil war within Mexico which would cause decades of unrest and instability.
Bush is defending mexico from this instability by not just keeping the borders open but more importantly preventing anyrthing from happening that would discourage the exodus.
Bush cannot afford to have the mexicans afraid to come to the US!
That is why he has shown them that he will protect them from US citizens and border agents who may attempt to succeed in defending the borders.
Impeachment must begin.
The problem is that Dems will never support the impeachment on these grounds because they concur with the open border.
If the border closes the New World Order of the Americas will be seriously delayed.
Right now the Rep and Dem leaders are trying to get as many illegals into the US as possible so that it will become impossible to ever send them back and to hurry and have them begin to cause unrest in the US to counter the closed-border proponents.
Bush would cave in immediately to crowds of illegals marching in the streets of Houston or San Diego.
Yet, Bush counts of the civility and passiveness of the outraged American citizen to allow him to keep the borders open.
Illegals marching in the streets will get their way with Bush while outraged US citizens who post furiously on internet blogs about how outrageous it all is will be totally ignored.
Bush laughs at us who simply spew posts like this. We do not have power. We do not threaten his funds which come from the very wealthy who support his agrenda and have investments tied up in mexico. We do not threaten bad press or instability that would come with hundreds of thousands of illegals marchings.
Our only hope now is impeachment. And I don;t see enough support in Congress for that.
A very basic theory that I think has credibility is this: quite aside from the campaign to end all border enforcement, it's a political stunt to demonstrate to Mexican voters in the U.S. (I won't call them hyphenated Americans, that isn't where their loyalty lies) that the administration will punish the Hated Vendidos in the Border Patrol for "mistreating" Mexicans. The word Vendido is a slang term meaning "sellout", which is the way Compean and Ramos are viewed.
So it's a "Who's Yer Buddy" sort of demonstration. As bad as the perp in this tale is, he's still viewed by many Mexicans in Texas and the Southwest as a victim of the Evil Border Patrol.
They're being made an example of because they had this crazy idea that their job down there was to try and keep drug-dealing scum out of our country, and they were doing it a little too well.
This is an unmistakable message to every Border Patrol Agent on duty: don't get carried away, because you're just for show.
Yep, I heard that, too. What the hell is going on. DHS couldn't provide a report because it was made UP and yet these men are put in danger......WTFFFFFF???

They're are being offered up to appease the Mexicans. After all we did their oil as much as the Saudis'.
This stinks to high heaven. These two good men are being offered up on the altar of globalism.
On a related front, the president is just begging for the democrats to send him an unrestricted immigration bill. He'll be tripping over himself running to his desk to sign it.
What king of a country am I living in???
