Ramos and Compean get a break from prison. Bush cuts their sentences.

@ 02:30 PM (10 months, 7 days ago)
Excellent. I've stayed away from much of this simply because I wasn't aware of all the facts. No matter, I thought their sentences were way too much. I'm glad Bush listened to the many that had raised hell about this and cut their sentences short. The little guys won one.


Congrats, guys.

President Bush commuted the prison sentences of former Border Patrol agents Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean today.

The announcement came on the last full day of Bush's presidency, Fox News reported. The report said the sentences for Ramos and Compean now will expire March 20. There was no immediate explanation for the time period between today's announcement that that date.

Two years ago, Ramos and Compean began serving sentences of 11- and 12- years respectively for a 2005 incident in which they fired on a drug smuggler as he fled back into Mexico after bringing 750 pounds of marijuana into the U.S. near Fabens, Texas.

  4. Wouldn't surprise me to hear some of the pro-illegal types screaming that Bush declared open season on Mexicans. Not that those weasels would ever twist and distort something for their own political purposes. Naaah, they'd never do that.

  5. Have you hired your own Mexicans yet? I haven't seen you post any green cards yet.
