Your reply makes no sense at all to me. Both men weer still in prison. Do you think they would still sit in prison if they had been pardoned?
If they were pardoned, they would also be released from prison. The conviction would have been removed from their records and they would actually be eligible to serve as border patrol agents again.
With a commutation, the conviction stands. They both still have felony records, which will follow them for the rest of their lives. This simply reduces the amount of time they spend in prison.
