As anti-border security activists ramp up their
lobbying efforts the U.S. Border Security Council is pledging to defend border security officials from politically motivated
attacks.
"There must be no
more cases like that of Ramos and Compean," says Council Executive Director Brice Griffin, referring to the infamous
case of two border patrol agents who were thrown into prison for defending themselves and apprehending a drug dealer.
As part of its efforts the Council will be rallying
its supporters to lobby Congress to pass legislation providing all the support America's border security officials need to
do their jobs.
"If some
crazed illegal alien-loving group wants to try to railroad one of our nation's brave border patrol officers again, the U.S.
Border Security Council will be ready to defend them with everything we have," Griffin promises.
The Obama Justice Department is already "investigating"
famed Arizona sheriff Joe Arpaio for being too aggressive in enforcing the nation's immigration laws.
