Free Jesus Diaz: Roger Hedgecock at Human Events
Human Events ^ | 04/29/2011 | Roger Hedgecock

Posted on 04/28/2011 8:49:05 PM PDT by RadioCirca1970

Veteran Border Patrol Officer Jesus Diaz faces a sentence of 10 to 35 years in federal prison for doing his job—nabbing drug smugglers sneaking across the Mexican border.

Prosecuting the U.S. Border Patrol for doing its job is not new. Obama continues the Bush policy—talking 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.

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).
