It sure seems that way.

I've just been listening to Shaun Moran, an agent with the Border Patrol talk to Roger Hedgecock on his San Diego show (AM600, streaming audio available at the link). Moran says the Border Patrol has informed him and all agents that, contrary to policy up to now, there will be no more paid media appearances. Moran has been the official spokesman for the union representing Border Agents, and has made many paid appearances to inform the public in that capacity, most recently in regard to the illegal alien sweeps that the Border Patrol has recently made. Moran says he's sure this new policy is retaliation for the heat and embarrassment that's been generated as a result of these sweeps and the consequent banning of same by the DHS after the illegal alien advocacy groups started screaming about it. Moran says the public is entitled to the truth and that his union is going to make sure that they get it, despite this new policy. Moran says that, if necessary, his union will pay for his appearances (or Moran will do as he did today and make them while on vacation, before work, etc.) just to make sure the word gets out. If you'd like to register your objection to the banning of the sweeps and/or the attempts to stifle the dissemination of information regarding same, there's contact information for Asa Hutchingson's (Under Secretary for Border & Transportation Security) office at NBPC1613.org.

Tell us about something you know, Dane- like the weather in Pittsburgh.
Since you haven't brought up the thread, you are talking into thin air.
Not out of touch, he's just doing what he's directed to do. Hence the media black out and telling all of those on the front lines to shut up.
Why is the union supporting Baca with their silence of him initiating the stop of the sweeps.
We're in the minority of malcontents? Do you live in CA? Mr. Hutchinson's office has been deluged with correspondence from hundreds and thousands of folks who are fed up with taxation without representation. We have jammed their fax and email capabilities. This is what it is really. We pay taxes, and they don't do their job.
I believe that the particular comment was directed at those who frequently call. The person taking the phone call might recognize your voice and hang up. I also suggest that if you do that, make sure your number comes up either private, or unknown.
I'm sorry if you don't have a problem with illegal immigration, but many of us have a big problem with it.
Amazing how this Pittsburgh, PA party-line shill "knows" all about southern California. If 2 million seems excessive to you, genius, you better get a new crystal ball. Your current one doesn't have a clue as to how big greater LA is.
We might as well at this point. I wish I had learned Spanish in high school :-(
And the union bosses are giving a total blackout to any criticism of Baca.
Seems that you are following that blackout also Joe.
You answered a question with a question.So I take it you have no answer that you would dare post here.Am I correct?
See reply #58.
The White House and DHS have absolutely no desire to go after illegal aliens living in the U.S.
If Bush had his way, every Mexican in Mexico would get a work visa to come take whatever job they want from an American and become US Citizens. They only thing standing in his way is Congress.
Uh, no just pointing out the fact that the border patrol union doesn't have a bad to say about the person, Baca(D-CA), who intitiated a stop to the sweeps.
And as is par for the course for you Joe, you will never say a cross word about Baca(D-CA).
You mean the July, 2003 data you posted? The numbers that had no breakdown for afternoon drive? Why not tell us what the crystal ball in your Pittsburgh bunker knows about rush hour on the 91 and 405? How many times have you driven them, exactly?
1 KPWR-FM 5.3 5.0
2 KROQ-FM 4.4 4.4
3 KFI-AM 4.3 3.7
KPWR-FM...urban hip hop.
KROQ-FM...weaksauce "edgy pop".
KFI-AM...talk radio for grown ups.
KROQ sucks. My 9 yr old has actually switched back to KFI, it's so pathetic.
It sure seems that way.
The earlier thread of over one thousand post shows that there is an interest in the subject of illegal aliens that have invaded our country. Every state is effected by this and all should be concerned.
Well then, who is he taking his orders from? Oh, I know where the buck stops, but there are a couple of little rest stops along the way.
I tried to get on the John and Ken last night, but it was jammed up. I wanted to forward my email to them that I sent Mr. Hutchinson. If we hit the chain of command, it probably won't do anything, but they'll know that we are not amused.
Sooo, who is Mr. Hutchinson's boss?
Hombres culo.
