The Issue:
Two former U.S. Border Patrol agents -- Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean -- are serving 11- and 12-year prison terms for attempting to apprehend an illegal alien drug smuggler. The smuggler, who was transporting 743 pounds of marijuana (about $1 million worth), was given full immunity to testify against our agents and is suing our government for $5 million.
Now, reports (http://www.firesociety.com/article/10489/?src=105) indicate that the Mexican government was instrumental in this case even being launched. Plus, our own government has been lying (http://www.firesociety.com/article/10263/?src=105) about key details in the case. Meanwhile, the agents sit in jail (Ramos was severely beaten by Mexican nationals in jail who shouted “death to the border agent”), the drug smuggler may get rich and our President has not taken action!
