Veteran Border Patrol Officer Jesus Diaz faces a sentence of 10 to 35 years in federal prison for doing his jobnabbing drug smugglers sneaking across the Mexican border.
Prosecuting the U.S. Border Patrol for doing its job is not new. Obama continues the Bush policytalking about border security but keeping the border open, and prosecuting Border Patrol agents who get too aggressive enforcing the law.
During the Bush years, the Mexican government pressured for the prosecution of BP agents Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean in an incident similar to the one that threatens not only the freedom of Jesus Diaz but the rule of law.

We need to back this guy...
Lordy! That’s John Ashcroft’s firm!
He should be ashamed of himself.
But, you know what? Both sides of the aisle are as corrupt as can be.
They are all in for the power and the money.
Good people like Diaz are merely bumps in the road to their ultimate goal.
Hopefully, that will change. The “little” people will rise up.
Only one side, and that superficial, shown here. It would be much more convincing if the nitty and gritty of the accusations and process were shown. Perhaps as in the Compean case there was gross overkill (but again that case is also a sobering lesson on zero-tolerance juggernaut legislation).
Exactly!!
