This is a fascinating motive for prosecuting Border Patrol Agents for doing their job. Apparently when foreign governments ask for retribution after Border Patrol Agents nab suspects for breaking American laws (e.g. drug smuggling or illegal entry), the Executive Branch of the American government complies by ordering the prosecution of Border Patrol Agents. This is happening to the tune of even withholding exculpatory evidence that either provides reasonable doubt or outright exonerates a Border Patrol Agent of charges brought against him or her.
So here is the picture: Border Patrol Agents have a mandate to protect the American Border (Canadian and Mexican) from illegal entry and smuggling (whether that is drugs, human trafficking, spies, terrorists or whatever). In the course of their duties a suspect or perpetrator may flee or use violence to withstand apprehension. If the Government representing the foreigner is unhappy with how the American Border was protected, they ask the American Government for some sort of satisfaction. The satisfaction seems to be the prosecution of the Border Patrol Agent or Agents involved in an incident.
If that scenario is used against Border Patrol Agents it hand cuffs their mandate to protect the American Border. The expected result is the free flow of drugs, espionage and terror cell across the American Border – WHY? Because a Chinese Communist Government or a corrupt Latin American Government or a hidden agenda Mohammedan Nation Government complains to the State Department or to the Bush Administration.
That is NUTS!
This is the reason former Border Patrol Agents Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean are in jail. It is the reason that former Border Patrol Agent Robert Rhodes was unsuccessfully prosecuted. AND it is probably the reason behind the spate of firings of U.S. Attorney Generals recently. This is speculation on my part but a few of these U.S. Attorney Generals that were fired for poor performance or managerial conflicts may have been the result of the desire to follow the rule of Law rather than the political agenda of smoothing over a diplomatic issue of the State Department.
I suspect Robert Rhodes was made the patsy in his case for his sexual preference: Rhodes is an overt homosexual. If you read my blogs you know I am not a huge fan of the immorality of homosexuality; however I am huge fan of justice and the rule of Law. Following the wishes of a foreign government is crazy. A homosexual may be out of line in expecting their alternate lifestyle to be accepted as mainstream morality (as opposed to Biblical Morality); however it is not illegal to be a practicing homosexual. Rhodes became penniless paying the defense that exonerated him from all charges. Rhodes is suing for 25 million bucks for his unjust prosecution. I hope he wins.
As for Ramos and Compean, now I understand as to why President Bush will not pardon them. They are the victims of foreign diplomacy: The kind of foreign diplomacy that does allow drug smuggling and probably allows the entrance of terrorists on to American soil.
