Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, R-Calif.
A Republican congressman is asking a Democrat colleague to hold hearings to investigate the involvement of the Mexican government in the decision to prosecute Texas Deputy Sheriff Gilmer Hernandez and Border Patrol agents Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean for shooting incidents involving illegal immigrants.

Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, R-Calif., told WND his office is writing a memo to Rep. William Delahunt, D-Mass., after WND's story this week disclosing the involvement of the Mexican Consulate in both cases.

"It appears we are giving more credence to directions from Mexican government officials than we are to the dictates of our own Constitution and the security of the people of the United States," Rohrabacher told WND.

The congressman is the ranking Republican member of the Subcommittee on International Organizations, Human Rights, and Oversight of the House Foreign Affairs Committee. Delahunt has taken Rohrabacher's place as chairman.

The congressman said he was pleased to see the transcript of the Ramos-Compean trial finally available, some 11 months after the conclusion of the trial.

"Now that we have the transcript of the trial," Rohrabacher told WND, "the case can go to an appellate judge who can overturn Judge Kathleen Cardone's decision to imprison Ramos and Compean while they appeal the conviction."

Rohrabacher expressed anger that Ramos and Compean are currently in federal prison.

"The only reason these two Border Patrol agents are in federal prison today," he told WND, "is because of a mean-spirited president who wants to squash people like a bug if they do anything that contradicts his open border policy."

Rohrabacher added, "We have to make sure we save the lives of agents Ramos and Compean. This is our first priority. These two brave heroes are now in jeopardy and their lives are at risk."

WND previously reported Ramos was beaten in the federal prison by a group of inmates believed to be Hispanic illegal immigrants, following the TV broadcast of an "America's Most Wanted" show that featured a segment on the case.

"The president has things all mixed up," Rohrabacher said. "We're supposed to side with the law enforcement officers, not the drug dealers. We're supposed to be interested in the security of our borders in order to protect American citizens rather than to make Mexican government officials happy."

Last month, Rohrabacher obtained a ticket for Monica Ramos, the wife of the imprisoned Border Patrol agent, to attend Bush's State of the Union Message.

WND also received comment from Rep. Duncan Hunter, R–Calif., whose office issue an e-mail saying the revelations about Mexican involvement "raise more questions about the validity of the conviction and reaffirm why a review of the case is necessary immediately."

"Too many questions have been raised to allow this conviction to stand without a close and unbiased review," the statement said.

WND reported Hunter has sponsored a resolution calling for a congressional pardon for Ramos and Compean. His office confirmed the resolution now has 82 co-sponsors.

They did to the probe and not play politics with the issue.

Yes, it looks like Mexico gave the order to punish our BP agents.

I think part of the problem is Bush doesn't know what sovereignty means or how valuable it is. Watch him try to explain what sovereignty means in this video clip. You'll need to watch it a few minutes till it gets to that segment:

This whole issue just gets worse and worse by the day.

NCM, You may be right. GWB most likely grew up eating, breathing and sleeping the new world order preached by GWB senior. I don't know if it could be classified as "brain washing" but I'm convinced our current president has never known the true meaning of America. But then again, very few politicians actually do get the idea also. Some do, most don't.

Most the time Bush appears to be a babbling idiot, but after watching a video clip (I can't find it now) of him giving a speech 10 years ago (without notes) and listening to him now, he doesn't sound like the same person. A nut doctor said he thinks Bush has dimentia (<sp?). I think it might be that he has a lot to hide and/or that he really isn't knowledgeable about anything except destroying the USA and it's people.

Let's face it, I think if we knew all that our government is planning for us we'd either take to the streets armed or have heart attacks. As it is they've covered their butts by labeling everything a conspiracy, racism, xenophobia, bigotry, selfishness, small minded, mean-spirited, protectionist, discriminatory, etc. And currently working on making voicing our opinions (free speech) a hate crime.

I seen a video clip of an old train station converted into what looks like a concentration camp in Indiana, complete with bobbed wire a new furnace (it never had a furnace before) and prison bars, all the signs are in English. It's a huge place where old trains were stored and hadn't been used for years. Why would they install a huge furnace with pipes running the length of the buildings and add prison bars at the entrance, for old trains? This place is in the hills and can't be reached by vehicle (they've repaired the train tracks) it also has helicopter windsocks. Hmmm, wonder what our gov has in mind for this place?

I believe that Bush's drug use is starting to show. His wife needs to take him home before his does anymore damage to the country.

all his friends who he has hired are destroying the country and giving it away. Now that the democrats are in power, bush's push is going even faster.
