Abandoned Ramos and Compean, border guards who shot drug dealers.
They got a pardon. I found these links from a FReeper.

He also was the one who signed the law to authorize construction of the border fence.
***The Manager’s Amendment*** (SA 4188), offered by Sen. Arlen Specter (R-PA), to S. 2611, the Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act of 2006. The Manager’s Amendment made many minor changes to S. 2611, none of have significant numeric impacts on the overall bill. However, the Manager’s Amendment included
a provision that requires consultation with the government of Mexico concerning the construction of additional fencing and related border security structures along the international border between the United States and Mexico. This would virtually guarantee that the fence along the U.S.-Mexico border would never be completed. The Manager’s Amendment passed by a vote of 56 to 41.

Technically, Ramos’ and Compean’s sentences were commuted. Sad, in the case of Ramos . . . but Compean will make a fine mall cop someday, if the employer overlooks his criminal record.
Your freeper friend forgot that it was not a pardon, it was a commutation of the sentence on the LAST day of Bush’s term.

As to the border fence, Bush should have used a fraction of the political cpaital he used pushing amnesty on ensuring a fence that would work was built.
