Last night, after you get pass my loud and out of control sound effects (I am having fun experimenting with them), my radio show went beyond its normal one hour length, finishing at the 1 hour, 56 minutes, and 21 seconds mark. The reason for the long show was a caller that engaged me in conversation that was both fascinating, and made for good radio. You'll have to listen to the archive at Political Pistachio Radio to see what I mean. His name is Tim, and he is a contributor to the site: A Newt One. Anyhow, at one point of the show he asked me if I had heard about the Border Patrol agent found dead near the Salton Sea not too far from me here in Southern California. I hadn't heard about it yet, but after investigating, this is what I know, so far, about this incident:
A U.S. Border Patrol Agent, Richard Goldstein, 37, was found dead drowned in the Coachella Canal near Niland, California just east of the Salton Sea, and about 40 miles north of the Mexican Border. His SUV was still idling, and his K-9 partner was loose, but sitting next to the vehicle. The body was found on Friday, and the incident is now being investigated as a homicide. Investigators are looking into possible connections between the agent's death and the known criminal activities in the area. The area the agent was located is a hot spot for drug smuggling, and illegal alien smuggling. A few years back an agent was involved in a shooting in the area with smugglers.
Goldstein was based at the Indio station which is in the desert east of Palm Springs. He served with the Border Patrol for five years. He was a resident of the area and is survived by a wife and two children.
A search for him had been initiated on Friday when Goldstein did not report in. A fellow Border Patrol agent discovered the body floating in the canal. The canal is mostly lined with concrete, and delivers Colorado River water to farms in the area.
If this turns out to be a homicide, and if the death of the agent was at the hands of illegals, drug runners, or Mexican Supremacists, the story will be buried and forgotten; unlike when an agent uses force to control a foreign-born law breaker, at which time the story becomes front page news and the agents are accused of abuse of power and unnecessary force.
My prayers are with this agent's family, and I applaud all of the heroes of the Border Patrol that put their life on the line to protect the sovereignty of our nation.
And this may be just another piece of proof that a large portion of illegals are not here to be law abiding citizens. Where the illegals go, their crime follows them. In this case, the crime may be murder.

Hi Doug,
Yea this is really disgusting that our government doesn't back the Border Guards the way that they're supposed to. How much does it take for a politician to say that they are for the Law of the land and then to do this to our finest and to leave the Border Guards out there on their own with no backing really pisses me off.
It really seems to me that when the Liberals went further left towards socialism that our right wing also drifted further to the left as well to almost liberalism.
Isn't there any stop to this craziness?
And what is interesting is because the Right is not willing to jump on the bandwagon of idiocy and jump off the cliff with the rest of the libtards, we are considered close-minded or narrow-minded, and unenlightened. It has become so backwards that even the Republicans are losing sight of the truth. Deep down everyone is a conservative but they have sold out to idiocy and forgotten what it means to be responsible and sensicle.
If it turns out that this agent was killed by illegals, the left will still try to find a way to blame it on the right. Where's all the damn busses to haul these damn criminals out of our country?
Who says the murderers were Mexican? How many Muslims cross this border? I'll bet the percentage is higher than you think! Regardless, mexican, Arab, or whatever, the circumstances definately point toward homicide in my opinion.
It's odd, but if you look at San Diego for example, the areas of the city most heavily populated by illegals are the most crime ridden.
Free And open borders Now !!! come on lets go...ooo-rah
Dave's had too much coffee of late.
God bless him and his poor family.
This is very maddening, Bush is totally pathetic in this area, just shameful that he doesn't support the BP. People must keep pressure on the Law to get to the bottom of this. Someone should make sure Hannity gets MAD about it. Let's see if Ahrnold does.
absurd thought -
God of the Universe thinks
corruption should rule
terrorists and drug smugglers
must be able to get through
.
It is a shame that these men don't seem to be recognised by our citizenship or at least not the media. Now of course if they shoot someone in the a** you'll hear about it.
BTW Douglas, I linked to this post earlier this morning.
Great work thank you!
