Caucus corrects Rohrabacher’s words
Hispanic Caucus’ office inundated with calls, prompting call to rep.
By Chris Caesar
Rep. Dana Rohrabacher backpedaled Wednesday on comments he made this week that accused the Congressional Hispanic Caucus of lobbying to hold up a non-binding Congressional resolution calling on President Bush to pardon two Border Patrol agents convicted of shooting a drug smugger in the buttocks.
The two men, Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean, are serving 11- and-12 year sentences for the shooting.
Rohrabacher, a co-sponsor of the resolution introduced by William Delahunt (D-Mass.), said Monday that he was disappointed that the bipartisan bill was going to be bottled up in committee.
But Rep. Joe Baca (D-Rialto), chairman of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, said in a prepared statement the Hispanic Caucus did not shelve the bill or anyone else.
