Stand down? I don't think so Tim:
Border Patrol told to stand down in ArizonaYou know, this sucks. I'm talking about porn-star quality sucking....golf-ball-through-a-garden-hose sucking magnitude.
U.S. Border Patrol agents have been ordered not to arrest illegal aliens along the section of the Arizona border where protesters patrolled last month because an increase in apprehensions there would prove the effectiveness of Minuteman volunteers, The Washington Times has learned.
More than a dozen agents, all of whom asked not to be identified for fear of retribution, said orders relayed by Border Patrol supervisors at the Naco, Ariz., station made it clear that arrests were "not to go up" along the 23-mile section of border that the volunteers monitored to protest illegal immigration.
"It was clear to everyone here what was being said and why," said one veteran agent. "The apprehensions were not to increase after the Minuteman volunteers left. It was as simple as that."
Another agent said the Naco supervisors "were clear in their intention" to keep new arrests to an "absolute minimum" to offset the effect of the Minuteman vigil, adding that patrols along the border have been severely limited.
WTF is it going to take for people in the government to do their job in spite of the *cough* political ramifications? I'm starting to run into crap like this where I work and although I've been able to duck-and-weave to avoid this crap, it really rubs me raw.
I've always thought that working in government was a nice thing - working for the betterment (is that a word?) of the nation and making a living at it at the same time. I'm guessing I'm (gulp!) in the minority here.
And it's sad to say that dispite my best hopes of people 'shining through' and working to better America, that even the Republican leadership and the party are starting to become IMHO no better than the Democrats.
I know I cannot speak for others here in the blogsphere, but this situation - the several lack of doing squat about illegal immigrants aliens - is causing me to take stock of my political standings....and where those standings dictate whom I vote for.
Washington: HINT-HINT-HINT!!
Does this mean I'm becoming a stark-raving mad moonbat?? Aw fu*k no - it just means that I'm attempting to send a CLEAR MESSAGE to the GOP and it's players: get your shit wired and fix this now!
Yogs, this has to be at least a reflection of Bush's personal policies regarding illegals. Bush,

Time we started figuring out at what level the border patrol is being sabotaged by insiders. There is a fine wall of agents on the ground, but a few rungs further you get THIS crap.
The BP has been infiltrated by politically motivated subvertors (even saboteurs) and these individuals MUST be identified, and held accountable.

Have to rethink that theory....

Yogs, this has to be at least a reflection of Bush's personal policies regarding illegals. Bush, the guy who called the Minutemen Vigilantes? The guy who thinks illegals are good for America? If Bush had his way and there wasn't any backwash from conservatives there would be no change. Making illegals, well... illegal would costs businesses millions if not billions. Who gives a damn what it costs the taxpayer in terms of medical, school, legal and other costs... not Bush.
