I figured that's what you were up to, Art - but I think it didn't work. In the midst of a ocean of illogical statements, another one posted humorously just blends right in.

PDQ, your lack of logic astonishes me. Yes, I do favor an open border - I don't know that I ever said "wide open" (this post may be the one you're talking about). The US should have identical border controls on its borders with both Mexico and Canada - not a Berlin Wall separating us from Mexico.

Nonetheless, I worked with Border Patrol agents for 25 years, and I respect their training and professionalism. Certainly, there were a few bad eggs - it was my job to weed them out. But on the whole, the Border Patrol Agents were good people who did their best at a job that was often thankless and futile.

I also have a great deal of respect for U.S. prosecutors and courts. Most of the time, they get it right - especially when a case goes to a full trial. If the court convicted the two agents, then I tend to believe that the agents committed a crime. But you contend there's no need to know the exact details of the case, because you're absolutely sure they were lynched by the prosecution. If the CNN Story is true, then it does appear there may be good reason for commutation of the officers' sentences. You'll find links and more information in this Wikipedia article.
