A Washington Times article reports “U.S. Border Patrol agents have been ordered not to arrest illegal aliens along the section of the Arizona border where protesters patrolled last month because an increase in apprehensions there would prove the effectiveness of Minuteman volunteers, The Washington Times has learned. More than a dozen agents, all of whom asked not to be identified for fear of retribution, said orders relayed by Border Patrol supervisors at the Naco, Ariz., station made it clear that arrests were ‘not to go up’ along the 23-mile section of border that the volunteers monitored to protest illegal immigration.”
This is one of the most despicable actions by a federal official in modern times. Every border patrol agent who blew the whistle on this outrageous secret order deserves a medal and a promotion –preferably replacing the top officials currently in the INS. Unfortunately, these border agents must make their complaints anonymously because they know the officials above them want to leave the border open.
Most news stories about whistleblowers involve fraud in the Defense industry. The FBI will often raid the offices where the fraud took place often escorting crooked executives in handcuffs. Unfortunately the Feds are the ones committing the crimes this time. The FBI won’t raid the top offices of the INS and drag out the high level crooks there in handcuffs. No federal court will subpoena President Bush to explain why he has left the border badly undermanned.
The responsibility to do something now falls on us. We must turn up the heat on our Senators, Congressmen and President Bush. The e-mail address for President Bush appears below:
We should demand that the INS officials, who gave the order that arrests not go up, should be fired immediately by Bush himself. If these politicians are flooded with complaints that they should do something about this latest outrage, it will send a message that immigration is a BIG issue for millions of voters and that their next election may hinge on whether or not they did something to secure the border. Unfortunately President Bush was not eliminated in the Republican primaries and we are stuck with him. Bush does however care about his legacy. If he continues to hang out with his old buddy Vincente Fox and if Bush fails to fire the INS agents who ordered that the border be left open in the area where the Minutemen were operating, then his approval rating could sink to 30 percent and his legacy of failure will make Jimmy Carter look good.
