Border Patrol agents say Eric Holder held to low standards!

by Jim Kouri for Lawman Review October 16, 2011



"Border Patrol agents are routinely fired for any sort of lie or failure to disclose everything they know under oath. Apparently, the same rules do not apply to the "top cop" in the country. Any agent would be fired for what Holder did. Why is it that rank-and-file agents are held to such high standards while those in charge are held to such low standards? Shouldn't those in charge be setting the example? This is one more example of why the system has become a complete joke." - National Border Patrol Council, Local 2544


The House of Representatives' Transportation and Infrastructure Committee on Friday approved a bill to rename the Bisbee, Arizona, Border Patrol station after agent Brian Terry who was slain on duty in December 2010. Meanwhile, U.S. Border Patrol agents remain angry with Attorney General Eric Holder saying he should be fired for his role in Operation Fast and Furious.



The bill, H.R. 2668, was authored by Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-CA) and is supported by as many as 68 Democratic and Republican cosponsors.



“Brian Terry gave his life in service of his country. With today’s vote, the naming of the Bisbee station in his honor is one step closer to reality. Naming this facility after Agent Terry is just one small tribute to an officer who gave the ultimate sacrifice, and to his fellow agents who face that same risk every day,â€
