This bill should be on the fast track for a vote. The American people are sick of their government working against them not for them.
Laser
I second that statement!
Tom
Please support this bill. These border agents were doing their job.
David Terry
This bill will give a license to become judge, jury and executioner to every, shoot from the hip, border patrol agent. This is a bad and dangerous bill. Vote NO!
Steve Shull
David Terry shows the true difference between the left and the right. He thinks passage of this bill will lead to all of our "blood thirsty" border patrol agents executing all the illegal immigrants they can find. I give our agents the respect and gratitude they deserve, for guarding our borders. With revised rules of engagement, to allow them the ability to carry out their duties, without exposing them to more dangerous "ILLEGALS", I feel will perform honorably. Not like a bunch of murdering thugs, as Mr. Terry believes. I think we know whose side he is on.

Mexican drug cartels are using Al Quida techniques such as beheading,and can't even be controled by the Mexican millitary.
We don't need to help them by persucuting our own for doing their job.

The conviction abd senticing of
Ramos and compeon is a traversity
of justice. Free these two Border
Guards. Ed Hammer

June 25,2007 I just read that Ramos has lost 30 lbs. in prison. He has been in solitary confinement for 135 days+ for his own protection as he was beaten (I think by criminal illegals) very soon after starting his sentence. Anyone who has thoroughly followed the stories about this prosecution knows that it was an outrage only prompted by the Mexican government. The Texas Rangers had investigated and recommended no prosecution. I voted for Pres. Bush twice but I admit that he appears guilty of dereliction of duty as regards border security. And Att. Gen. Gonzales should be canned, but not for the firing of legal staff. He is corrupt.

In view of the commutation of the sentence of Scooter Libby, I believe the pardoning of agents Ramos and Compean is more than just. Pardon them now!
Chris Goehrs
The imprisonment of Ramos and Compean is a severe miscarriage of justice. Let's get these guys out as fast as we can. This bill is a way for the people to do it
George
It's about time!
maggie and frank
these two border guards should have received a christmas pardon from the president...why is the bill still in a sub committee..justice is being withheld...what can we do???
Faye O'Harra
It is time our government leaders recognize that you can't hire people to protect our borders and then arrest them when they do. Bush is definitely wrong in not granting an immediate pardon for these gentlemen.
Arnold C Falk
By all means, this bill should be passed. These two gentlemen should never have been convicted in the first place.
Roger D. Gunnoe
As a retired Police Officer I have no problem with the actions taken by Ramos and Compeon. They were only doing their job. You must remember that Drug Dealers are killing our children here in the USA. We need to protect our Borders and our Families. Forget the Arrogant Retarded Stupid Foolish Government that we have here in the USA. They only wish to Enrich their Bank Accounts and Pander to Big Businesses as well as to the Corrupt Government in Mexico. We need to Free Ramos and Compeon and give them Medals as well as a big raise in Salary. These men are our Heroes and should be treated as such.
Brenda Morrisey
Every time I hear that these guys are still in jail, it makes me sick. These guys were hired to protect our borders and they are sitting in jail? Sorry, Mr. President, I back you up and give you the benefit of the doubt on most issues, but not this one. Something stinks in Washington!
This is a great miscarriage of justice. Free Ramos and Compeon now!
Elaine Ketchum
Why are WA & Pres. Bush so silent about this terrible injustice????These men should have been pardoned by now. Something smells rotten in WA!!!!
