Bordergate Two: Democrat Shocked By Lack Of Liberal Support for Ramos and Compean
By Donald A. Collins

Reader reaction to my two previous pieces on the Ramos-Compean "Bordergate" affair has been sharply supportive of my view that these two Border Patrol agents were railroaded by forces seeking to intimidate our brave officers and further achieve an open border with Mexico.

Significantly, a number of my correspondents noted that the case furthered the agenda of big business—implementing a North American Union (NAU), which would allow not only free passage of goods between Mexico, the US and Canada, but also the free flow of labor, regardless of the political and social impact or ordinary Americans.

Several readers suggested that, since this case was likely to harm those greedy goals, it would gain little notice in the mainstream media (MSM). And to a large degree, this has been true, although Lou Dobbs on his 6 PM (EST) weekday CNN news hour has been steadfast about the terrible injustices done by our government to these agents.

Today, however, the Washington Post surfaced the story in a page 2 article with the headline Support Swells for Agents Who Shot Drug Smuggler and the subhead "Conservatives Lead Movement to Free Ex-Border Patrolmen" [February 17, 2007.

Darryl Fears begins:

"Early this week, the Bush administration urged angry conservatives to remain calm over the convictions of two former Border Patrol agents who shot an unarmed Mexican drug smuggler, but petitions for their release continued to flood the White House.

It did not help that one the lawmen, Ignacio Ramos, was attacked by Latino gang members in his cell at the Yazoo City Federal Correctional Complex in Mississippi and beaten bloody. Days after prison officials confirmed the beating on Feb. 8, Department of Homeland Security officials admitted that an inspector general's report erroneously quoted Border Patrol agents as saying Ramos and his partner, Jose Compean, intended to kill Mexicans."
