Letter
in the Sierra Vista Herald
According to the Sierra Vista Herald, a mysterious
woman left the American Border Patrol meeting on Sunday, saying,
in part, that ABP board member, Ron Sanders, "had the opportunity
to do the things that needed to be done when he was in charge
of the Tucson Sector and failed." Failed? As I recall, in
the four years Sanders ran Tucson, it averaged eight deaths of
illegal crossers per year. Under his successor, David Aguilar,
it is well over one hundred. Not only that, as reported by the
Herald in 1999, Sanders took early retirement to protest the
INS policies that have led to the tremendous loss of life along
the border.
Sanders didn't fail, INS management policies
failed and still are. ---Roger Barnett |
