I hate to say this. but the U.S. Attorney gave immunity to the drug smuggler. who still had indictments over his head here in this country. He was given immunity. and these two men. who have families. are now financially broke from trying to defend their honor and the fact that they did their job for the Border Patrol. I felt that it was important tonight. and I know my colleagues (1o. which some will be speaking later. that so many times there are law enforcement all over this Nation as well as our men and women in uniform that do a very. very invaluable job for this country. They ask nothing but to be respected for the tough job that they do. Whether it is the military or the Border Patrol or law enforcement. the pay never meets the requirements that we ask of those individuals. and tonight I felt that it was important to put this resolution in. This resolution will not have to go to the Senate. by the way. This will be a resolution of the Members of the House of Representatives that are not speaking to the charges and the penalty of Compean and Ramos. but we will be saying to the Border Patrol of this country you are appreciated by the House of Representatives. We know you have a very difficult and tough job. Because.
