I agree with Toncredo on this. There are elements within the Border Patrol who don’t fully support their agents.

Gosh, can someone please pass this magic marker that this dude has? Because it’s gotta be incredible - able to tell the difference between an illegal alien and a criminal, both of whom are breaking laws, and a terrorist! He’s got some incredible talent. He should be promoted really, really high so that we can all take advantage of his new and unique abilities, or even better yet, send him to Iraq since he’s able to pick out any terrorist along a hundred mile section of border, without even encountering them!
Apparently, Bush has not gotten his message across. Either that, or this is his message.

Congressman calls for removal of Laredo Border Patrol chief
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1886186/posts
On August 15th, Carlos Carillo the director of the Border Patrol in Laredo, Texas, speaking in Laredo, said the patrol's mission is not to stop illegal immigrants or criminals but to focus on terrorists and keep them from entering the country. Carrillo is minimizing the need to stop all illegal immigrants which is outrageous. At this time when our borders are awash in illegal aliens to have a director of the border patrol make such an asinine statement can only mean that he has no intention of enforcing the laws of the United States an therefore should be fired.Your strong support for our laws has proven to me that you are serious about the enforcement of our border laws and the need to rid our country of persons here illegally. As always thank you for your diligence in this matter I remain. Sincerely yours (NAME)
