Border Patrol agents should be pardoned

To recognize the unselfish commitment to honor and service to our country, let's place the spotlight this day on Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean.

Less than two years ago, these two trusted Border Patrol agents acted in the line of duty, risked their lives and defended our country by averting the proliferation of drugs by a noted drug runner along our southern borders.

The drug runner has since been incarcerated for repeated violations.

In return, these two unsung heroes were sentenced to 10 years in prison due to a severe miscarriage of justice.

Our legislators in Washington need to co-sponsor HR563 to pardon our Hispanic heroes for defending all our people, our communities, and, most precious, our children.
