The border agent, Robert Rosas, was shot several times in the head, from behind and while lying on the ground, during a Robbery attempt.
The teen and others "lured Rosas out of his Border Patrol vehicle by leaving footprints on a dirt road, shaking bushes and making noises," according to prosecutors. Rosas was ambushed about 100 yards from the border. Rosa was patrolling alone.
When are our elected officials in Congress going to do their jobs? Their job was not to force us into universal health care. Their job is not to take over auto companies and banks. Their job is to get off their fannies and protect our borders.
Lord Jesus, please help us to replace most of Congress this Fall, and put in place people that are willing to follow the constitution and do their jobs. Please help us to protect our citizens.

Presidential Pardon for Border Guards
.
Former Border Guards Ignacio Ramos and Jose Alonso Compean's need a pardon or commutation from President Bush before he leaves office.
"We still remain very hopeful that that will happen, and if it doesn’t, we’ll have the appeal to the Supreme Court,” T.J. Bonner, president of the National Border Patrol Council, told Fox News. "Ultimately we’re hoping that justice is served in this case because both of those agents are innocent. All they were doing was their job defending themselves against an armed drug smuggler in the process of stopping a load a marijuana that was worth more than a million dollars."
Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, R.-Ca., said Thursday, “Many patriotic Americans are dismayed by the continued persecution and legal torture of former Border Patrol officers Ramos and Compean,"
In 2005, Ramos and Compean shot a drug smuggler in his butt. They say that they believed the man was armed and they reacted in self defense. Drug runners are frequently armed and shoot at border patrol.
The smuggler admits he was smuggling hundreds of pounds of marijuana on the day he was shot. He also pled guilty earlier this year to drug smuggling, but it wasn’t the smuggling he was doing that day. The smuggling he was charged for happened several months after the shooting. Apparently he learned nothing from the incident.
Supporters argue that the U.S. Attorney should have prosecuted the drug-smugger rather than the US Border patrol. Should the border patrol now be afraid to do their jobs, lest they get arrested? Aren’t their jobs and the stresses that go with it hard enough already?
We’re praying President Bush pardons these men, who were doing their job protecting our border as well as trying to keep drugs off the streets and out of our children’s hands. President Bush, please support our law enforcement officers and pardon these men.
