EL PASO - A second former Border Patrol agent, Ignacio Ramos, was resentenced on Thursday to the same 11-year prison sentence that was originally levied on him in 2006 by U.S. District Court Judge Kathleen Cardone.

Ramos had to return to court in El Paso for resentencing after the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans dropped a tampering-with-evidence conviction against him and ordered the resentencing. Ramos' partner, agent Jose Alonso Compean, was resentenced on Wednesday and he too received the same 12-year sentence he had previously been given.

Ramos and Compean, who were arrested, indicted and convicted for shooting a drug smuggler in the buttocks, have been at the center of a national movement to overturn their convictions.

Tara Setmayer called into Glenn Beck's radio show in the last 15 minutes and talks about Ramos and Compean being resentencing.

she says the judge did not change anytime of the sentences.

however she did say that Ramos' attorney asked that he be moved from isolation to another prison and shes going to consider to transfer to a prison camp.

She also said something i did not know about, each guilty plea also carried a fine of 250K, so four guilty please equals a MILLION DOLLAR FINE.

Good lord! One Million Dollar fine??? Wow, I think that is excessive considering his wages. The average American pays $2,000 a month for a $200,000 mortgage for some thirty years. That would mean he would have to pay $10,000 a month for 20 years. Right?

what kind of fine did the ILLEGAL freaking drug runner get?????
Heck he got less time than these men.

well, you all know what I am thinking!!!!!!!!
