The difference. Mr. President. is that these people you pardoned were criminals. and these two Border Patrol agents are Hispanic Americans who are heroes. heroes who were doing their job to protect our borders. Mr. President. It Is not too late for you to use your authority to pardon these two men. Not only are there concerns about the U.S. attorneys prosecution of these two border agents. but the same prosecutors office in western Texas has just persecuted another law enforcement officer. Deputy Sheriff Gilmer Hernandez was sentenced this week to a year in jail for shooting at a vehicle that was transporting illegal aliens. Hernandez stopped the car for running a red light and asked the driver to step out of the car. but the driver pulled forward to flee and turned the car toward the deputy. The deputy fired shots at the cars tires to protect himself.
