Border Patrol Agents Made 'Scapegoats': Click below to Demand an Investigation into Prosecution of Heroes! Take Action Now!

This CONSERVATIVE ALERT is a special message for James Santos from RightMarch.com:

ALERT: Border Patrol agents have a difficult and often dangerous job in guarding our nation's borders.

But the danger shouldn't come from our own government!

According to news reports, last year, agents Ignacio Ramos and Jose Alonso Compean spotted Osbaldo Aldrete-Davila, a Mexican national, in his van near the Rio Grande, near Fabens, Texas, about 30 miles southeast of El Paso. Ramos gave chase while Compean circled around to head off the suspect. When Mr. Aldrete-Davila jumped out of the van and ran south to the river, he was confronted by Compean, who was thrown to the ground as the two men fought. Ramos said that when he arrived, he saw Compean on the ground and chased Mr. Aldrete-Davila to the river, where the suspect suddenly turned toward him, pointing what looked like a gun.

Ramos said he fired at the fleeing suspect but did not think he had been hit after watching him run through the bush, jump into an awaiting van in Mexico and speed off. Nearly 800 pounds of marijuana, worth $1 million, was found in the van that he abandoned at the river's edge.

A job well done, right? After all, that's what the Border Patrol is *supposed* to do -- try and stop illegal immigrants, especially the "baddies" running drugs. Right?

Wrong.

An investigator from the Department of Homeland Security's Office of Inspector General, which oversees the Border Patrol, tracked down Mr. Aldrete-Davila in Mexico, where he was offered IMMUNITY in exchange for testifying AGAINST the agents!

As a result, a federal jury convicted agents Ramos and Compean of causing serious bodily injury, assault with a deadly weapon, discharge of a firearm in relation to a crime of violence, and a civil rights violation. A U.S. probation officer has recommended in a report to the court that the agents be sentenced to TWENTY YEARS in prison!

To add insult to injury -- OUR injury -- Aldrete-Davila, the illegal alien drug-runner, also received care at William Beaumont Army Medical Center in El Paso -- and now he's suing the government for $5 million for violating his "civil rights"!

THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS. As patriotic Americans, we MUST do something about this!

TAKE ACTION: The facts in this case do NOT add up or justify the length of the sentences for these agents, let alone their conviction on multiple counts. The arrest, trial and conviction of the two Border Patrol agents had resulted in a chilling effect on others.

Thankfully, both Democrats and Republicans on Capitol Hill are asking for congressional hearings and reviews by the White House and Justice Department into the conviction of two U.S. Border Patrol agents who shot and wounded a fleeing drug suspect. But it won't happen without a HUGE public outcry -- and that's where YOU and I come in.

We've set up our website so that you can send "blast faxes" to Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales, Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security Michael Chertoff, AND President George W. Bush, *demanding* that they investigate this case and exonerate the two agents.

NOTE: This outrageous prosecution does nothing but tie the hands of the Border Patrol and prevent the agency from securing America against a flood of illegal immigrants, drugs, counterfeit goods and, quite possibly, terrorists. It puts the rights of illegal smugglers ahead of our homeland security and undermines the critical mission of better enforcing immigration laws. These two agents should NOT be made scapegoats for our government's enforcement failures.

As always, if you don't want to pay to send your blast faxes, you can also send a FREE email directly to AG Gonzales, Sec. Chertoff and Pres. Bush -- just go to http://capwiz.com/sicminc/issues/alert/?alertid=8991476&type=ML now. Be sure to send this Alert to EVERYONE you know who wants to demand REAL JUSTICE for these two heroic border patrol agents. Thank you!

Sincerely,

William Greene, President
