Rep. Dana Rohrabacher: Pardon the two border patrol agents

By Stone Martindale Dec 28, 2006, 23:53 GMT

Just wrapping a live segment of the popular CNN's Lou Dobbs show, Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, R-California, is pleading with Americans to contact the White House and their local representatives to get angry and voice their support with the issue of pardoning the two incarcerated Border Patrol agents who shot a Mexican drug dealer on the U.S.-Mexico border.

Rohrabacher is leading a group of 48 other Congressional representatives asking President Bush to pardon the two agents. He is calling on every American to call the White House and express their anger at the sentencing of the two border agents.

Rohrabacher was incensed on Lou Dobbs, recounting how the drug smuggler being shot in the back by the two border agents as he was smuggling drugs into the USA.

"The fact that he got shot in the buttocks while trying to escape – I think that sends the message to drug dealers not to try and smuggle drugs in. Prosecuting the Border Patrol says we’ve got an open border, the drug people can come right in because we will prosecute the Border Patrol if they’re trying to protect us.” Said Rohrabacher in a previous contentious Hannity and Colmes interview.

“This drug dealer knew that. He walked right up to the Border Patrol agent when he was telling him to stop, threw him to the ground and started running away. At that point, his partner, seeing his partner on the ground… shot this guy.”

Rohrabacher describes himself as “one of the committee's most outspoken advocates of human rights and democracy around the world.”
