Bush pardons 2 former border guards By DEB RIECHMANN – 5 minutes ago

WASHINGTON (AP) — President George W. Bush has commuted the prison sentences of two former Border Patrol guards whose convictions for shooting a Mexican drug dealer ignited debate about illegal immigration.

Bush's act of clemency on Monday for Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean was a victory for Democratic and Republican members of Congress and others who pleaded with the president to pardon the men or at least commute their sentences.

Ramos and Compean are each serving sentences of more than 10 years for shooting an unarmed illegal immigrant as he was fleeing an abandoned marijuana load in 2005, then trying to cover it up.

Bush commutes sentences of former US border agents By DEB RIECHMANN – 12 minutes ago

WASHINGTON (AP) — In his final acts of clemency, President George W. Bush on Monday commuted the prison sentences of two former U.S. Border Patrol agents whose convictions for shooting a Mexican drug dealer ignited fierce debate about illegal immigration.

Bush's decision to commute the sentences of Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean, who tried to cover up the shooting, was welcomed by both Republican and Democratic members of Congress. They had long argued that the agents were merely doing their jobs, defending the American border against criminals. They also maintained that the more than 10-year prison sentences the pair was given were too harsh.

Rancor over their convictions, sentencing and firings has simmered ever since the shooting occurred in 2005.

Ramos and Compean became a rallying point among conservatives and on talk shows where their supporters called them heroes. Nearly the entire bipartisan congressional delegation from Texas and other lawmakers from both sides of the political aisle pleaded with Bush to grant them clemency.

Bush didn't pardon the men for their crimes, but decided instead to commute their prison sentences because he believed they were excessive and that they had already suffered the loss of their jobs, freedom and reputations, a senior administration official said.

The action by the president, who believes the border agents received fair trials and that the verdicts were just, does not diminish the seriousness of their crimes, the official said.

Compean and Ramos, who have served about two years of their sentences, are expected to be released from prison within the next two months.

They were convicted of shooting admitted drug smuggler Osvaldo Aldrete Davila in the buttocks as he fled across the Rio Grande, away from an abandoned van load of marijuana. The border agents argued during their trials that they believed the smuggler was armed and that they shot him in self defense. The prosecutor in the case said there was no evidence linking the smuggler to the van of marijuana. The prosecutor also said the border agents didn't report the shooting and tampered with evidence by picking up several spent shell casings.

The agents were fired after their convictions on several charges, including assault with a dangerous weapon and with serious bodily injury, violation of civil rights and obstruction of justice. All their convictions, except obstruction of justice, were upheld on appeal.

With the new acts of clemency, Bush has granted a total of 189 pardons and 11 commutations.

He can't admit they were railroaded because that would reflect back on him and the fact that the persecutions were motivated to inhibit the enforcement of the border.

This is a PSYOP.

It appears to be aimed at creating a euphoric boost among the element resisting the ongoing criminality and paves the way for Obongo to ascend unto the heights as the new designated puppet.

Watch the other hand.

There's been a lot of Republican heat that's been stoked up from the grass roots that are ablaze over this. Guys like Sen. John Cornyn and Rep. Brian Bilbray have been keeping up the pressure urged on by local groups that have camped out in Congress.

Bush hasn't skipped off to Paraguay yet. He still has to live with these people.

Breaking: Bush pardons Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean

How much would you like to bet that if their names were Smith and Johnson instead of Ramos and Compean, they'd still be rotting in jail?

Their ethnicity earned them the pardon (it's not as bad if one Mexican shoots another). Kind of like how black comedians can use the word "nigger" with impunity.

It pained me to stare it down and accept, but Ronald Reagan was one of those mother fuckers too.
