Two U.S. border agents. Agents Compean and Ramos. have been languishing in Federal prison since January 17 of 2007. These men did their job to protect our Nation from an illegal alien. a Mexican drug smuggler who brought $1 million worth of marijuana across our border into Texas. Yet through a questionable prosecution. these two men were convicted for defending themselves and defending our border. It is a sad day that such a travesty of justice could happen to two Hispanic Americans who loved America so much that they were willing to become law enforcement officers. and in this case Border Patrol agents. in order to protect America. Despite the efforts of the American people and Members of Congress. who have brought this to the attention of the White House. nothing. and I say nothing. has been done to reverse this injustice. While outside groups and Members of Congress have filed court briefs to support these agents. we still anxiously await a decision in their appeal.
