Appropriations Bill May Force Agents' Release
Congressional Republicans have succeeded in attaching an amendment to an important appropriations bill. The amendment cuts off federal funds from being used for the incarceration of Border Patrol Agents Ramos and Compean.
The withdrawal of funds for the imprisonment of the two falsely accused Border Patrol agents will mean their release from prison.
Congress is expected to pass the appropriations bill containing the amendment.
One Republican Congressman observed that President Bush will likely sign the bill, in spite of the fact that it contains a provision aimed at doing what he has yet refused to do--release the two Agents.
The Congressman suggested that the President has more to lose by refusing to sign the appropriations bill than he would by vetoing the measure because of the amendment. The President has been under enormous political pressure, most of it from members of his own Party, to release the two Agents.
By signing the appropriations bill containing an amendment that will lead to the Agents' release, the President can save face. He doesn't have to say a word about the amendment. But those who have been adamant about the Agents' release get what they want.
The problem is what happens afterwards. Will investigations by Congressional Republicans simply dry up due to the fact that Ramos and Compean are set free?
What about their reputations which have been soiled by the lies of the DOJ and the DHS, which painted the two men as 'bad cops'?
What about the lies to Congress?
What about the systematic suppression of law enforcement at our southern border perpetrated by a rogue U.S. Attorney who apparently wishes to appease the Mexican government more than he wishes to obey the law?
Will Congress simply try to sweep the entire fiasco under the rug by the release of Ramos and Compean, hoping that the citizens forget that both the Bush Administration and Congressional Democrats have been grossly negligent in enforcing U.S. laws concerning illegal aliens and in making our borders secure?
We can only hope that statesmen like Duncan Hunter, Tom Tancredo, Dana Rohrabacher, and many others, including conservative Democrats, will never stop digging until they discover the ugly truth behind the Border Patrol scandal, and then take pertinent steps to clean out the corruption.

Online Petition to Enforce Border Security
Washington, DC (TLS). While political elites fall all over themselves trying to pass an amnesty program for illegal aliens, average American citizens have made it abundantly clear they DO NOT want a new law. They want the OLD LAWS enforced!
Thus, not surprisingly a citizens' movement has arisen with a petition to let our elected representatives in Washington know that we want the borders secured NOW...and we don't need a new immigration reform bill to do it.

SOUTH CAROLINA'S RAGE TOWARD LINDSEY GRAHAM
Columbia, SC (TLS). Senator Lindsey Graham, R-SC, finds himself in deep political trouble in his home state of South Carolina. Graham raised the ire of the Republican base when he helped broker the present 'immigration compromise bill' that is supported by Ted Kennedy, John McCain, and President Bush.
The fact that Graham supports John McCain in his Republican Presidential nomination bid is increasingly viewed as an albatross hanging around the Senator's neck.
With McCain losing support among the Party faithful, and with the Kennedy-McCain-Bush immigration bill viewed by most as an amnesty program for illegal workers, Republicans in South Carolina have begun to turn their rage toward Graham.
A grassroots coalition has sprung up within the state that is seeking to rescind Graham's election to the Senate. In short, they want to immediately remove him from office.
By overwhelming majorities South Carolinians want secured borders, immigration limitation and control, and a commitment on the part of elected officials to uphold and enforce the immigration laws that are already on the books.
Graham is increasingly viewed as someone who does not share the views of the majority of the people in his state.
The Liberty Sphere believes that the Senator is in deep trouble politically. If he survives the move to have him removed from office, he has an election to face next year. With opposition mounting, it is looking doubtful that Graham could win another term.
South Carolina's other Senator, Jim DeMint, another Republican, has been solidifying his popularity in the state by his steadfast opposition to the immigration bill. When South Carolina voters compare the two, given DeMint's more compatible views with the majority of the state's electorate, Graham comes out looking like a square peg trying to fit into a round hole.
It will be interesting to see just how strongly the ill winds toward Graham are blowing in South Carolina.

D.C. Rally Aims to Free Jailed Border Patrol Agents
Washington, DC (TLS). A group of conservative radio talk show hosts and politicians will hold a major rally at Capitol Hill in order to demand the freedom of jailed Border Patrol Agents Ramos and Compean. The rally will also call attention to present terribly misguided amnesty legislation in Congress, sponsored and supported by persons such as Ted 'Senator Blowhard' Kennedy and John McCain.
The sponsors of the rally state that this bill must be defeated as part of America's attempt to secure its borders and turn back the invasion of illegal aliens.
The rally will also call for President Bush to fire U.S. Attorney Johnny Sutton of El Paso, one of the main perpetrators of the assault on U.S. law enforcement officials and Border Patrol agents who do their jobs by stopping and apprehending illegal aliens.
Capitol Hill will be the site of the rally. The dates are April 22-25. The event is called 'The Hold Their Feet to the Fire 2007 Rally,' and is sponsored by The Federal for American Immigration Reform of Washington, DC.
Conservative talk radio will broadcast live from the rally for a 19-hour blitz featuring talk show hosts Roger Hedgecock, Edd Hendee, and Howie Carr, among others.

Border Insecurity Poses Major Terrorist Threat
Washington, DC (TLS). The failure of the Bush administration and Congressional Democrats to adequately face the growing problem and explicit danger of border insecurity and illegal aliens poses a major terrorist threat to the country.
This assessment comes from one of the top Counterterrorism networks in the U.S.
Not only is the lack of border security fueling illegal activity but exposing gaping holes in the nation's attempt to provide for the safety of its citizens. Not only do illegal aliens murder American citizens at the rate of 12 per day for every day of the year, but the Counterterrorism network maintains that the ease by which illegal aliens slip over the borders means that terrorists could easily gain access into the country with WMDs small enough to be transported undetected. These devices could then be used to unleash a nuclear, biological, or chemical attack upon our largest cities.
