Grassroots Leader: "Bush Sides with Illegal Alien Drug Smugglers"
With U.S. Border Patrol agents Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean now serving their 11-and 12-year jail terms respectively, Grassfire.org President Steve Elliott released a biting statement against President George W. Bush’s handling of their case.

Elliott blasted the Bush White House saying the American people have a vivid picture of where Bush really stands on border security.
“Sadly, that picture will be of two U.S. Border Patrol Agents surrendering to federal marshals to serve 11 and 12-year prison terms,” Elliott said.
Their crime? So-called civil rights violations against an illegal alien drug smuggler who has been smuggling drugs into this country for years and was smuggling 743 pounds of
marijuana at the time of the confrontation.
“With these actions, the Bush administration has created an unbreachable chasm between his administration and millions of Americans who are concerned about our nation’s border security,” said Elliott.
“All the talk of fences and high-tech equipment is cheap. When it came time to stand and be counted on the side of our Border Agents, the President’s Administration chose to side with a career illegal alien drug smuggler,” he added.
