U.S. Border Patrol agents say they are the victims of escalating violence. The problem is getting so bad, the Border Patrol says numbers of assaults against them are up almost 50% from where they were last year. Agents in the Tucson sector are patrolling a total of 261 miles of border, but some are doing it from the confines of a cage. The vehicles are called 'war wagons', literally designed to protect against rocks and boulders thrown by illegal smugglers. But the metal caging won't protect agents from a problem that's gaining even more momentum. "When our agents try to do a vehicle stop, criminal element try to run over our agent to evade arrest," says agent Jose Garza, from the Tucson sector. So far this fiscal year, the Tucson sector of the Border Patrol has reported 163 acts of assault against agents, compared to a total of 118 for the entire fiscal year of 2004. National reports say vehicle rammings are up 188%, shootings are up 122% and cases of rock throwing are up 23%. Garza says, "They're getting frustrated because we're out there. We're encountering them more times." Agent Garza says he knows, with more manpower and resources, will come more encounters with criminal activity. There are no reports at this time of deaths or serious injuries to agents. Garza says those on patrol are constantly being trained about the dangers along the international line.
It would stop.
Simple human nature. A dog that barks a lot but has no bite... guess what. :)
Start getting really violent in return and they will get the message.
It sounds like a war zone. These people are transforming themselves from economic migrants to armed invaders. Where is our military response?

Fox News did a documentary interviewing a Border Patrol man and his wife (last year), who live in a trailer right on this side of the fence. They are BEGGING for our government to send help down to them, ANY kind of help. Even if is our National Guards.
Night after night, the Border patrol and his wife wearing night goggles take pictures for proof. Thousands are coming across in hordes. And that IS night after night. Fox News even showed the video tapes that the Border and his wife have been taking of these people jumping the fence and running.
The Fox Newsman (I forget his name. He has the gray hair, is tall, thin with a long thin face), spent the night with this couple, also using night goggles to watch for himself.
The next morning, they walked about the yard. She said that they are NOT all Mexican's. That they have found the books of the Koran and prayer rugs dropped in haste as the people jumped the fence and ran on into our Country.
She showed the rugs and the books to the Fox Newsman. It was horrifying.
What with all the Mosque's in our Country, what better shelter for the terrorists to find shelter? They are here, people. Scattered all over the United States.
Here is an updated map of where all the Mosque's are. Look and weep for our Country.
January 28, 2005 - Despite widespread news reports linking Moroccan Muslims to worldwide terrorism, Florida Congressman Ric Keller (R-8-FL) has declined to call for a formal FBI or Government Accounting Office (GAO) investigation of Orlando Homeland Security official Mary Schneider's concrete evidence of green card bribery of immigration officials by illegal Moroccan Muslims linked to a terrorist cell in Keller's central Florida congressional district--the hub of Sunshine State tourism and airline traffic.
Our interview with the Orlando immigration adjudication officer revealed that Keller, who is a member of the House Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism and Homeland Security told Mary Schneider "your problem is not a matter within the purview of a federal agency." Full Story
"It is a certain fact that not all Muslims are terrorists, but it is equally certain,and exceptionally painful, that almost all terrorists are Muslims..."

Time magazine quote:
The number of illegal aliens flooding into the US this year will total 3 million - enough to fill 22,000 Boeing 727-700 airliners, or 60 flights every day for a year.
Vehicular assault against an officer warrants violent response by way of use of firearms.
That's SOP for most police departments.
Odd how that happens.
I find that the more I go fishing the more my fingers get knicked from hooks and fish. I wonder if there is any correlation?
Boy, this sure is BS. And the Pentagon wants to shut down US Bases. Well, who is going to be left to protect US?!

It's media player high B/W
The policy was very simple: LOCK...LOAD... .
Authorization for use of deadly force. Supplement the BP's arsenal with those 50 cals.
There is absolutely NO excuse for our law enforcement officers at BP being told to endure attacks from "criminal elements" and those "criminal elements" to continue surviving.
The pres is supposed to be running the gov, this is squarely his fault. He is a miserable failure in securing the boarders.
<< If you put the military on that border, incidents of violence would be met with incidence of EXTREME violence.
It would stop. >>
We had no problem keeping the Soviet Union out of Western Europe for more than fifty years and we keep the North Korean rabid pit bulls and their chicom owners out of South Korea still.
Time we put Military on our North and South land borders and put a stop to the ongoing criminal-alien invasion of the Homeland.
Our Military could do it in its sleep.
And, for a change, those whose lives and health and wellbeing it was protecting would even be grateful!
Wow.
Imagine that.
"And now what?"
More water stations?
Most are unaware of Patton going after Poncho Villa and killing two Mexicans and strapping them to the hood of his car as a trophy.
Oh, do we need men like Patton again.
GWB has inspired these criminals to invade us, plain and simple. To me, he has lost all and any credibility whatsoever over this issue considering that the 9/11 hijackers had 64 drivers licenses between them, were here illegally, etc etc.
We would be all over Kewrry about this if he won.
Ahh, but will we? If we don't bother to control our borders, where do we draw the line?
