Outrage Intensifies Over Imprisonment of Border Patrol Agents

Charlotte, NC (TLS). The controversy is heating up concerning the imprisonment of two U.S. Border Patrol Agents who shot at illegal aliens crossing the border illegally. A U.S. Congressman who has demanded that the President issue pardons for the two agents is now suggesting that Congress withhold funding for their incarceration, which will insure their release.

Other than condemn the idiocy of the prosecutor for pursuing this case, including the outrageous act of granting immunity to the illegal alien in exchange for his testimony against the agents, there is very little Congress can do because of the separation of powers. Congress can, however, vote to withhold funding for the incarceration of the two agents.

Congress can also call for the Department of Justice to launch an investigation into the actions of a prosecutor out of control. So far, the DOJ has refused to release documents to Congress concerning the prosecution of the two agents. This, too, is an outrage. Perhaps a thorough investigation of the Department of Justice should be launched by Congress.

All of this, of course, would be a moot point if the President would do the right thing and go ahead and issue pardons to these two American patriots.
