Border Patrol Agent kills 15 year old boy
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ynews/201006...s/ynews_ts2475
A border patrol agent shot and killed a 15-year-old boy near El Paso, Texas, yesterday after rocks were thrown at him. Mexican officials are protesting the incident, claiming that it represents a new trend of excessive use of force by U.S. immigration officals.
Local FBI spokeswoman andrea simmons told the el paso times that Border Patrol officers detained two people among a group suspected of entering the U.S. illegally Monday night. The officer told the rest of the people in the group to stop and retreat. Simmons said that instead of following directions, the others in the group surrounded the agent and threw rocks at him, which is when he fired his weapon.
José Reyes Baeza, the governor of Chihuahua, the mexican city over the border from El Paso, told a local newspaper that the boy died because of "xenophobic and racist conduct" associated with popular support in the United States for the Arizona immigration law — even though the incident occurred on the Texas-Mexico border. Mexico's foreign ministry is calling for an investigation and said in a statement that "a use of firearms to repel an attack of stones represents a disproportionate use of force, particularly from authorities who have received specialized training."
T.J. Bonner, who heads a union representing border patrol agents told the associated press that it's appropriate to answer rocks with bullets. "It is a deadly force encounter," he said. "One that justifies the use of deadly force."
Two weeks ago, an illegal immigrant died after a customs official used a taser against him while deporting him. Officials said the man had forced the agent to the ground before he used the taser.
According to Mexico's foreign ministry, the number of mexicans hurt or killed by U.S. immigration authorities has risen from five in 2008 to 17 so far this year. A call to U.S. immigration and customs enforcement to check those numbers has not yet been returned.
I seriously think it's time to invade mexico....just fucking take it over. This shit on the border is never going to stop. Mexicans dont have to die, and americans do not have to fear going to mexico for vacation or what not. Seriously...Last edited by Kraker Jak; 06-09-10 at 05:53 AM.

Re: Border Patrol Agent kills 15 year old boy
here is my thought process.
Mexico becomes part of the US.
We basically inheret a bunch of people on welfare. Meaning poor people, etc.
On the bright side, we can start collecting taxes off these poor people, because they still work, but they are just poor. Which means we can start putting money into mexico (economy, jobs, etc)
Our federal law enforcement (DEA, CIA, FBI) will now be able to operate freely in mexico, and make a big dent in the illegal drug trafficking (marijuana, cocain, opium, herion, etc)
Seems like it would be a bitch at first, but it sure beats people being killed for nothing more than miscommunication and trying to jump the border
