The person who has sources within the Border Patrol who originally reported this story is Ben Anderson. He's the former Chairman of the Cochise County Republican Party. He's a staunch Republican, he ran for Arizona House of Representatives, and he's a friend of the Randy Graf for Congress campaign. He's not a Democrat nor a friend to the Democrats at all.
I just spoke to Ben Anderson and he said that he's not the source for this Washington Times article. No one at the Times has talked to him. So, this may be independent confirmation of the original story that he reported.
bump!
