Compean and Ramos are names that should be constantly in front of us. These are the two Border Agents who while attempting to do their job of securing our border from illegal immigration and drug smuggling shot a know smuggler carrying over 200 pounds of illegal drugs. Instead of being treated like the Hero’s they were they have been charged with attempted murder and incarcerated in solitary confinement. The Federal Prosecutor Johnny Sutton has taken the law to new lows in his depiction of the event that involved the attempted apprehension of a known smuggler. Osvaldo Aldrete DaVila a known drug smuggler who was shot in the buttocks while attempting to escape capture. The Agents Compean and Ramos were accused of using excess force and covering up evidence , which they have denied. Osvaldo was given immunity by Sutton to testify against the Agents. He has sense committed addition crimes on the border and is under indictment. The continued roadblocks from the Bush administration towards the closing of our border has put many of our agents in danger. In the past several years we have had many serious crimes committed by illegal aliens here in the United States. One in particular was the shooting of a Los Angeles Deputy Sheriff David March. He was murdered by a twice convicted felon in the country illegally named Armondo Garcia. He had been deported three times prior to the death of Deputy March. After the killing of March he eluded law enforcement by slipping back into Mexico. It took five years of tireless work by John and Barbara March, David’s parents to finally get an extradition order in effect on January 9th of this year to bring Garcia back to Los Angeles for trial. Over 1/3 of the 170 plus thousand inmates in California prisons are in there because they were captured committing crimes while in this country illegally. California Congressman and former presidential candidate Duncan Hunter has championed the Compean-Ramos cause and has introduced a Congressional Pardon for these two heroes’. The Supreme Court has not ruled on the constitutionality of the subject there-by stalling the efforts of Hunters staff. The silence from the Bush administration has been a cold hearted slap against the families of slain officers who were killed in the fight against Mexican Gangs here in the United States. I feel that until the Mexican government shows an ability and desire to fight these gangs from their side of the border it should be closed altogether. I ask that anyone planning to travel to Mexico, to cancel their reservations until the Mexican government acts to stifle these out of control gang’s attacking our border daily. How many more brave and dedicated Border Agents and Policemen have to be injured or killed before our government does something? If our government won’t act to defend us we can do it by taking away their income from tourism.

And that’s my opinion,
