The more stories I read about Justice Department charges against our Border Patrol the more I believe that they are under instructions to oust any Border Patrol agent who does his or her job.

"...Border Patrol Agent David Sipe, responded to a disrupted motion sensor to find between 12 and 15 illegal aliens crossing the border. Most of the illegals followed the agents' instructions and surrendered, but several attempted to flee, running into a patch of tall dense reeds...., In the course of making the arrest, Mr. Sipe struck one of the border crossers, a Mexican national named Jose Guevara, in the head with his flashlight. He said it was necessary, but the U.S. Attorney's office said it wasn't. In 2001, Mr. Sipe, who had no previous complaints against him, was convicted for using excessive force, and dismissed from the Border Patrol.."

It turns out that three illegal aliens who testified against the agent, that is, Mr. Guevara along with two others who had fled into the reeds received a very nice gift package.

The Washington Times reported Monday that the three illegals got Social Security cards, witness fees, travel expenses, living expenses and the use of government telephones to call relatives in Mexico, and were allowed to travel to and from Mexico and to North Carolina. The government offered everything to the three who had broken the law, all to obtain testimony against an agent who had enforced the law.

The U.S. Attorney's office, moreover, covered up the generous benefits it had handed out. It failed to disclose the fact that all three illegal aliens had been living together in the months preceding the trial. Nor did prosecutors reveal that when Border Patrol agents stopped Mr. Guevara, again traveling with illegal aliens, they let him go when he flashed the "get out of jail card" he got from the prosecutors. "His arrest with illegal aliens was evidence that he was a transporter," wrote the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals in ordering a new trial, "as well as evidence of the extent of the government's support accorded him in order to obtain his testimony."
Mr. Sipe's felony conviction has been overturned, and despite the way he was treated he is working to rejoin the Border Patrol. But the repercussions of such zealous and aggressive prosecution go well beyond his case. The message to Border Patrol agents, who are assigned to the difficult and dangerous job of protecting our borders, is to worry less about the execution of their duties and more about how things could be made to look in court. Agents, like the rest of us, are not above the law, but government prosecutors must not lose sight of who the criminals are.

After reading the above I am even more disgusted with our governments complete failur to arrest and convict the 'criminals " instead of
puting the blame on the very ones who place their lives on the line on a daily basis. When will this type of twisted thinking end ? I totally support our Border Patrol Agents,(not The Justice Department ) and unless you are an illegal alien criminal, so should every one in America. They are illegal and they have already commited a crime. Since when does the criminal get all these perks just for being a criminal.A crime is a crime.

This is a pattern in Texas. Any Border Patrol agent, or Sheriff for that matter, that actually does their job gets prosecuted by scumbag Johnny Sutton.

Johnny boy needs to be tried and incarcerated for his illegal activities. He is without a doubt public enemy number 1

confident and this is not altogether new. undergo in suggestions Johnny-Boy Sutton and his conflict on the U. S. Border Patrol? brokers Ramos and Compean by no potential stood a raffle as US Atty Sutton actually PAID to have the repeat criminal (a drug smuggler with a jacket thick as an 80's pc) flown to the U. S. and given enviable lodging on an analogous time as communities of criminal experts worked up an hermetic protection. .

That's a good question..
I don't know why they even put them on the border if they aren't going to let them do their job.
