And what we have today is a dangerous threat to the safety of our people. the security of our country at our southern border. Today I discuss a black mark on this administration in terms of the security of our country. a vile crime which has been committed against two law enforcement officers whose job it has been to protect our families and our communities by keeping control of Americas borders. The sad episode started back on February 17. 2005. just another routine day for Border Patrol Agents Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean. Both were Border Patrol veterans with unblemished service records. Agent Ramos. in fact. had been nominated for Border Patrol Agent of the Year. As they made their rounds that day 2 years ago. they checked on a tripped sensor near the border. Agent Compean discovered footprints and drag marks. the usual indication of a drug load being smuggled across the river.
