Art supports our Border Agents

About 18 months ago, U. S. Border Patrol Agent Ignacio "Nacho" Ramos risked his life defending us when he shot an illegal alien drug smuggler in the backside while patrolling our border.

Ramos and his fellow agent, Jose Alonso Compean, (who were later prosecuted and convicted of various charges based on the notion that they violated the illegal alien drug smuggler's "civil rights") are now facing twenty years in prison, while the drug dealer they pursued gets immunity from his crimes.

"The Federal government’s convictions of agents Ramos and Compean, have had a chilling effect on the Border Patrol. Agents that were risking their lives to protect our nation are now hesitant in pursuing the criminals crossing our borders. These agents should be thanked for their dedication to serve, not prosecuted." --Art Olivier

Thanks to "The John & Ken Show" and the "Friends of the Border Patrol" sponsoring this live event, Art had the opportunity to personally thank Agent Ramos (who flew in from Texas to appear at the live broadcast) for his service. The only good news about this travesty of justice is that (during the broadcast) it was announced that the sentencing of these two brave agents has been postponed while the Senate Judiciary Committee begins a full review the case.

"In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people." --Theodore Roosevelt, 1907.
