Not only that. but Guevara was given $80.000 by our United States Government when he threatened to sue our government for his socalled illegal arrest. and reports are that he has gone back to Mexico and bought himself a ranch down there with American taxpayer money. Madam Speaker. just last week David Sipes asked to receive back pay. Of course. our Federal Government fought that. too. but he received back pay for the 6 or 7 years that he was out of service with the Border Patrol. But his life was destroyed. His wife divorced him because of this. He went bankrupt. He is destitute and he lives with his original trial lawyer. All of this because our Federal Government fought every inch of the way to prosecute a Border Patrol agent for arresting a criminal on our border smuggling human beings instead of prosecuting a human smuggler. a coyote. Our government had the choice. prosecute border agent or prosecute human smuggler. and our government chose poorly. and they prosecuted a Border Patrol agent. Of course we all know this isnt the end of the story because with agents Ramos and Compean the same situation has occurred. But. Madam Speaker. justice is the one thing we should always find. And finally. after 7 years. a jury heard all of the evidence in this particular case and David Sipes was vindicated and our government chose the wrong side. We are going to follow this case and other cases and see why the government has gone wild about prosecuting Border Patrol agents. And thats just the way it is.
