A Border Patrol agent was missing Tuesday night after attempting to rescue a Chinese illegal alien from the Colorado River, officials said.

Several law enforcement agencies were searching the river for the agent Tuesday night. He was swept away by the rivers current as he tried to pull the alien to safety around 6:30 p.m., said Border Patrol spokesman Joe Brigman.

The agent, whose identity was not released, had not been found as of 9:30 p.m. Tuesday.

During a routine check of the river near Andrade, Calif., Border Patrol agents discovered approximately seven illegal aliens, Brigman said. The group had crossed the river and, upon spotting the Border Patrol agents, attempted to return to Mexico when one crosser was caught in the current, he said.

The missing agent was attempting to help the illegal when he was caught in the current, Brigman said. Other agents on the scene were able to rescue the crosser in distress.

Other law enforcement sources on the scene said the crossers were Chinese nationals. Brigman was not able to that report.

That's what I thought. You are a liar.

[PRND21]

That doesn't show support for Aztlan. Poor try.

[Bikers4Bush]

When someone shows disdain for aztlan and reconquista and you call that mongering (as in hate mongering) that is without a doubt a show of support for aztlan.

Regarldess of what you say we know it to be true.

[presidio9]

No problem. I've gone around with a number of the illegal lovers.

PRND21, Presidio9 just to name two.

So typical of the protectionist mentality. "I want something, but I don't want to work for it."

Ditto that. Just got some hate mail from this clown.

[Principled]

We need a lawsuit against Mexico for not saving him.

All sarcasm aside, I pray for him and his family.

[PRND21]

False premise. The sentence I replied to was poorly written by someone that mongers on FR constantly.

Regarldess of what you say we know it to be true.

"We", huh? Telling.

[PRND21]

Just got some hate mail from this clown.

You'll get more if you post lies about me behind my back, coward.

[wjcsux]

Not talking behind your back, everyone here sees you for who you are. This is out in the open 100%.

[PRND21]

You should ping someone you speak of.
That lie about me you posted at 39 was deleted.
Next time say it to my face.

[wjcsux]

Next time say it to my face.
Anytime.

[TEXASPROUD]

I remember when an OTM (other than Mexican) was someone from Guatamala, El Salvador, and other points south. Chinese nationals? Hmmm.

[wjcsux]

I will keep you in my prayers.

[Ajnin]

What makes this even more tragic is this is just before Christmas and his wife went into labor with their third child yesterday. We still haven't found his body as of 1000 today.

[Ima Lurker]

You are right. This illegal should be charged with murder.

[FITZ]

I'm sure every country comes in through Mexico.

Vicente Fox and the corrupt government of Mexico pretty much has been given control over who and what can come over the southern border ---- of course the Chinese and whoever else can and do come through Mexico ---- it's very easy to get there and come here.

[FITZ]

People need to appreciate how dangerous the job of the Border Patrol agents is.

[Exodus22]

Just exactly HOW many American CITIZENS are going to have to die before something is done about the illegal alien INVASION? Perhaps all of us? Sometimes I think that that is what our "government" wants.

[Bikers4Bush]

That's the funny part about you illegal lovers. All you ever do is cry racism or protectionism when the rest of us want the immigration laws of this country to be enforced and obeyed.

God forbid we expect the government to protect our borders and our families from illegal invaders.
