Mexican Government Involved In Initiation Of Prosecution Of Agents Ramos And Compean

FireSociety Exclusive: Interview with
WND’s Jerome Corsi on Mexico’s Role


World Net Daily’s Jerome Corsi -- author of the best-seller “Unfit For Command” -- is reporting that the Mexican government was directly involved in the initation of the investigation against Border Patrol Agents Ramos and Compean which led to their arrest, conviction and imprisonment.

Corsi, quoting members of Congress and sourcing Hill staffers, reports that Department of Homeland Security investigators informed Congress that it was the Mexican Consulate that initiated the events by contacting the U.S. Consulate. WND article here.

Mexican Consulate requests action
In an interview with Grassfire.org's Steve Elliott (see audio above, transcript below), Corsi explained that no action was taken for days following the incident at the border. In fact the agents' actions were considered “normal” and the reporting "acceptable” until Mexico intervened. Says Corsi, “Then on March 4 the request came through from the Mexican Consulate to the U.S. consulate in Mexico demanding an investigation on the basis that the Mexican Consulate was bringing forth Davila and wanted the agents to be punished."

Corsi also documents how the Mexican government was instrumental in the initiation of the case against Sherriff’s Deputy Gilmer Hernandez -- the other high-profile case involving U.S. prosecution against our own personnel in favor of illegal aliens. (See FireSociety petition supporting Hernandez.)

Agents pawns in Open Border agenda
Corsi told Grassfire that these agents are “victims of Mexico” and the Bush administration agenda for “political and economic integration with Mexico and Canada.” Grassfire’s Steve Elliott says any involvement by the Mexican government is unacceptable. “The timing of Mexico's involvement is not, to me, as critical as the fact that Mexico has such influence. It is outrageous that the Mexican government has any influence over the actions of our Justice Department, especially when the alleged victim is an illegal alien career drug smuggler. Mexico has no place in U.S. internal affairs.”

Below is a portion of Grassfire’s interview with Jerome Corsi.

Actions:
1. Fax the White House and other leaders demanding immediate pardon.
2. Sign the Petition to pardon agents Ramos and Compean (over 325,000 signers)
3. Call the White House (202-456-111) and your Congressman (202-224-3121).

How was the Mexican government involved in the Ramos/Compean case?
For several weeks [after the February 17, 2005 incident at the border] no investigation was ongoing. The Border considered the incident to be completely normal, the reporting to be acceptable and nothing was being done. Then on March 4 the request came through from the Mexican Consulate to the U.S. consulate in Mexico demanding an investigation on the basis that the Mexican Consulate was bringing forth [drug smuggler] Davila and wanted the agents to be punished….

On the Fourth of March we see an investigation began by the Department of Homeland Security in the Ramos and Compean case and a file opened by U.S. Attorney Johnny Sutton. Nothing had been done until the request came forward from the Mexican Consulate and the dates coincide -- March 4, 2005 -- the request from the Mexican Consulate and the start of the case by DHS and the Department of Justice.

So the Mexican Consulate initiated this entire fiasco?
That’s correct. That’s how I see it.

This is coming out of the 9/26/06 meeting of DHS with members of Congress, correct?
That is correct. I’ve gotten a hold of notes from staffers who attended that meeting…. Those notes fully document and are very clear that the contact came from the Mexican Consulate and it came through the U.S. Consulate in Mexico and that’s how the case has begun.

This is the same meeting in which DHS misled members of Congress, correct?
These three DHS investigators…lied when it came to saying they had investigative reports that Ramos and Compean were rogue cops who were going to go out and shoot some Mexicans that day. … The Department of Homeland Security doesn’t have those reports. There’s nothing they can produce. It’s a lie.

Now we’re finding out that our own government is lying to members of Congress and our Department of Homeland Security may be acting on orders fro the MC!
It’s shocking to me that there was no investigation against Ramos and Compean and the incident was considered normal -- in fact they were being praised because they got 743 pounds of dope -- …until Mexico demanded that George W. Bush be an agent of the Mexican government and prosecute these Border Patrol agents to defend a fleeing Mexican national drug dealer.

Why would our government be wanting to even take any direction from the Mexican government?
I believe the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America that President Bush agreed to on March 23, 2005, …[that] President Bush has decided to integrate us -- political and economic integration with Mexico and Canada -- he’s going to pursue that agenda whether he explains it to the American people fully or not.

These border agents have been caught up in this…
They’re just victims to Mexico as Vicente Fox has been pushing a North American Union for years…. That I believe is the agenda, and it’s openly there in the public record.

This article clearly identifies the problem. It is the grossly misnamed, "Security and Prosperity Partnership" (SPP) that Dubya has pushed so hard for, that has him genuflecting every time Vicente Fox passes gas. Dubya is determined to push that contemptible SPP down the throats of Americans, even if it takes destroying the lives of a hundred honorable law enforcement officers like Ramos, Compean and Hernandez and shredding the Constitution, under which he serves.

This is Dubya's way of opening up the borders. If law enforcement agents are afraid to even attempt to arrest illegal aliens, then even though it is illegal to be here, they will have "EFFECTIVE" Amnesty. He gets the Attorney General and his Justice Department to do his dirty work and gets what he wants through intimidation, rather than legislation. And he has the nerve to call himself a Republican. Not cool.

This is a complete diservice to our country. These Officers need to be pardonded and we need to tell Mexico where to shove it.
