YAZOO CITY, Miss. - U.S. Rep. Tom Tancredo of Colorado met Friday with Ignacio Ramos at the prison where the former U.S. Border Patrol agent was beaten by other inmates.

Tancredo said he offered encouragement and campaigned to get Ramos a change in cells.

Ramos and another Border Patrol agent are serving time at Yazoo City Federal Correctional Complex for shooting a drug smuggling suspect in Texas and then lying about it.

"I gave him as much positive information as I could," Tancredo said after leaving the prison in Yazoo City, Miss., about 35 miles northeast of Jackson. "And it is our hope we can get him moved to another part of the facility that is safe for him but not in a segregated environment ... 23 hours a day in a cell, which he has now."

Tancredo, a Republican presidential candidate a vocal supporter of the agents and opponent of illegal immigration, has said the Bush administration for failed to protect Ramos and has demanded that the agents receive a full presidential pardon.

The congressman said he was allowed to see the prison area where Ramos was beaten and had "observed bruises and abrasions on his body."

Do you think the President will issue a pardon when one of them is finally beaten to death? I still cannot believe with all the public outcry, and govt. officals getting involved that they are still in prison, Glad Nancy Pelosi got her big plane, that was really important for her SECURITY. They have all gone insane!!!!
