The arrest of a drug smuggler in Eagle Pass, Texas has put the arresting officer, Jesus “Chito” Diaz, behind bars for two years. The Mexican government pushed for the prosecution after Homeland Security investigated and exonerated Diaz for any wrong doing. The Obama administration prosecuted him on charges of “civil rights” violations and lying to investigators (but…but…Homeland Security cleared him). Chito is a seven-year veteran of the Border Patrol.
The 15-year-old drug smuggler was not only given immunity, he was given citizenship to this country, despite admitting he lied to the jury...oh, and was busted smuggling 70 lbs of pot. Almost forgot that tidbit.
I'm so sickened by this story I can hardly speak. First, if Jesus Diaz broke the law, he should be penalized; however, we're talking about an arrest of a drug dealer with 70 lbs of pot. This is a guy that protects our country everyday along the Mexican American border, which is increasingly violent and unforgiving. I can't fathom a US Attorney agreeing to grant a drug dealing, illegal, citizenship. WTF is wrong with these people? How can we expect to protect our borders when we send the officers that protect us from very dangerous drug dealers, to jail? This is the most ridiculous story I have heard in months. Honestly, it's almost reached the point where I'm often disappointed, never surprised, and rarely proud of any decision the United States Government makes. I really really really hope that in 2012, people go to the polls, and like Brewster's Millions, vote D, None of the Above. Our two party political system needs an enema.
