Border Patrol Ranks Swelling Despite Ramos-Compean Case
Despite Ramos-Compean Case, Border Patrol Ranks Swelling

The infamous fate of U.S. Border Patrol agents Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean – facing a decade in prison for shooting and wounding an illegal alien drug smuggler – hasn’t slackened the rush of recruitment to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Agency (CBP).
The agency that primarily patrols the borders of Arizona, California, New Mexico and Texas has brought aboard a record 17,700 new recruits since 2006 when President Bush sent out the call to hire 6,000 new agents each year, according to a report in the New University.
And the CBP is yet continuing to grow, hustling up 300 more young men and women through recent recruiting fairs in such far-flung states as Albany, New York and New Jersey.
The hiring bonanza, of course, is good news for a stalled economy, but the bright Border Patrol heyday continues to be dimmed by the plight of Ramos and Compean.
U.S. Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, R-Calif., is the latest lawmaker to condemn President Bush for failing to at least commute the sentences of the two incarcerated agents, who federal prosecutors say tried to cover up the incident.

Since we are building up our border patrol will we still need Nobamas national troops? Oh yeah, we have to be protected from ourselves.
