If They Can Pardon Nixon…
We find the link below to be a good summary of the case for those of you who need to catch up or anyone wanting a little review on why it so majorly sucks that two border agents are being shafted by their own government to appease the Mexican government whom we owe so much for sending us all their problems. President Bush, here is one issue on which we vehemently disagree with your position. And we’re reasonably certain you simply don’t give a damn and this ain’t Gone with the Wind. It’s gone with your crap policy on borders, immigration and national security. Clean up the mess and pardon these border agents. Here’s the political upside, it might even raise your subterranean approval rating.

Administration not willing to pardon convicted Border Patrol agents

(AgapePress) — Author and investigative journalist Jerome Corsi says he believes two former U.S. Border Patrol agents will remain in jail for a while because the Bush administration apparently does not want to anger the Mexican government. The two men were convicted in the shooting of an illegal alien drug smuggler; however, a number of congressional leaders believe they were victims of a witch hunt.

It wasn’t “they” who pardoned Nixon. It was one decent, honorable man who did it. Gerald Ford had more genuine concern for this country in his little finger on his right hand than President Bush, from his shameful refusal to defend against mass invasion, seems to have in his entire body.
*sigh*
“Any country that harbors or aids terrorists is our enemy” eh? (Paraphrasing Bush’s famous pronouncement.) Then why isn’t Mecca a radioactive parking lot?
“…do jobs Americans won’t do.” Sure. Swift plant raid aftermath (hundreds of AMERICANS got jobs).
“I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.”
And how exactly is persecuting border patrol agents for doing their jobs within the laws and BP guidelines as set out in statute and BP policy “faithfully execut[ing] the office of President of the United States”?
And how, exactly, is lying, baldfaced, brazen and openly, about pushing for amnesty for violators of our border, for identity thieves, etc. (as President Bush has repeatedly done), honorable, decent or moral?
What good the sacrifice of our military personnel in the GWT (no, not “Global War on Terror–making war on an emotion is just silly; “Global War on Terrorism makes sense) when this administration does damn all to protect our borders from mass invasion.
And remember: the 9/11 hijackers were illegal aliens. Let’s give them retroactive amnesty, Mr. Bush. *spit*
(Note: I tried and tried diligently to give Bush a chance on this issue. I even voted for hinm a second time hoping he would re-think his stance as mexico’s lapdog, but my patience is gone.)
It’s not.

Just so we’re clear, my choice for the title of this post was to make a comparison between a pardon for Nixon based on his story and a pardon for two border agents with their story. But your comment focuses mainly on the shortcomings of the Bush Administration as does a good portion of my brief post. His interest in amnesty for illegal aliens puts into question his real reasons for other choices he has made an attributed to lofty goals.
To me, the open borders crowd is all about greed. Employers that want cheap labor. Politicians that want cheap votes. Retailers who want more customers and on and on. Not to mention the illegals who simply want what we have and don’t mind breaking laws to get it. I have more than 15 million reasons to oppose illegal immigration. And I’m real tired of the old worn out mantra, oh the poor babies just want a better life.
