Conservative Groups Raise Moral Concern In Border Agents Case
Over 30 Organizations Ask President Bush For Immediate Pardon

Washington, DC-November 19- Today, thirty-one conservative
organizations sent a strongly worded appeal to President Bush on
behalf of wrongly imprisoned Border Patrol Agents Ignacio Ramos and
Jose Compean. Signatories include conservative stalwarts like Paul
Weyrich, Phyllis Schlafly, David Keene, Frank Gaffney, Morton
Blackwell, and a number of other prominent evangelical Christian,
national security and border security groups.
“We sincerely feel that your inaction and lack of immediacy to
personally address the inhumane treatment of these two agents runs
counter to the tenets of a compassionate conservative and the
Christian values that many of your supporters find a sustaining beacon
of your presidency,” states the letter.
“Conservatives who champion the sanctity of every life, born and
unborn, find it unacceptable that some disillusioned Americans are
being forced to conclude that the lives of Ramos and Compean are
simply what the government has deemed an acceptable level of
“collateral damage” for a failed border security and national
immigration policy…
“When an admitted illegal alien drug smuggler who repeatedly brings
drugs into this country is given government immunity to testify
against the very law enforcement officers hired to stop him, the
American public sees the scales of justice tilting the wrong way. How
can these actions be justified on moral grounds to the American
people? How can they become the lessons we teach our children? They
can’t…

“When justice becomes so tilted, sentences so excessive, and the
treatment of prisoners inhumane, then a president must act to bring
the scales of justice back into balance. He must use his power to
restore faith not only in our judicial system, but faith in the
kindness and forgiveness of the human spirit that is a measure of this
nation’s moral character.”
The letter focuses on the moral implications of the continued
incarceration of Border Patrol agents Ramos and Compean despite the
questionable circumstances surrounding their prosecution and asks
President Bush to immediately pardon the two agents. The appeal comes
days after the arrest of Osvaldo Aldrete-Davila, the illegal alien
drug smuggler shot in the buttocks by the agents after resisting
arrest and fleeing back to Mexico. He was later given immunity and
brought back to the United States by U.S. Attorney Johnny Sutton, as
the prosecution’s star witness against Ramos and Compean. The agents
were sentenced to 11 and 12 years, respectively, and are currently
serving out their prison terms in solitary confinement.
According to the October 17, 2007 federal indictment, Aldrete-Davila
faces 5- 40 years in prison and $2 million in fines for a multiple
load of drugs smuggled into the U.S. while he was protected under
immunity in preparation for the trial against Ramos and Compean. All
details surrounding the additional drug loads were sealed at the
request of the U.S. Attorneys office and subsequently withheld from
the jury.

GOD BLESS RAMOS & COMPEAN
