Border Patrol agents were dodging projectiles on Saturday, Aug. 27, as they tried to apprehend a smuggler driving a truck full of undocumented migrants.

Nogales agents were patrolling Arivaca Road when a pick-up truck caught their attention. The agents saw people lying in the truck's bed as it proceeded north on Interstate 19, according to information released by the agency.

When the agents moved to stop the truck, people in the bed popped up and began throwing wooden pallets at them. The truck veered off the interstate and plunged into the underbrush, taking out 300 feet of fencing.

It came to an abrupt stop, and the group attempted to scatter before agents could detain them. Agents arrested five people, but were unable to find the driver. No injuries were reported.

Since the fiscal year began in October 2004, Border Patrol agents in the Tucson sector were assaulted 227 times, according to agency statistics.

Throwing pallets, ripping out fence, and assaulting Border Patrol Agents, that Americans won't.

Having fun?

[CindyDawg]

Huh. Sounds more like illegal aliens to me.

I wonder if scarecrows would work... hanging effigies on the border.

Multiply that by ten and you're still not going to come up with the correct number.

I'm tempted to ask "how can this happen"..but then I realize its all over but the crying and wasting stomach acid is futile.

[Armedanddangerous]

Here's a radical solution. Arrest their butts for assaulting a federal officer and put them in the federal gladiator academy for a few years.

If they resist, shoot them.

Why do I always think BP = British Petroleum ?

I know this number isn't even close to the real number of assaults in Tuscon Sector. Most assaults don't get reported, especially if the agents don't suffer any injuries. I was attacked twice last week and didn't report it because nothing is ever done about it and nothing changes. It's just business as usual.

They should have responded with some projectiles of their own.

An Apache helicopter with a full load of ammo would have come in handy right then and there.

[junta]

Thanks for your efforts and you have millions others who support you as well regardless of the back stabbing from the media nuts and their sock puppet politicians.

I thought the same thing. "Boy, that's pretty brazen, throwing projectiles at a gas truck! Oh, never mind."

Assult with a deadly weapon.

Impond and Charge the truck's owner?

Are we enforcing the law or playing hide and go seek?

[Dominick]

after that they can IMPOUND the truck too, after it is lifted from the pond...

You must be a very patient man. I would not have your patience.

It's a crying shame that we have a President who continues to shove Mexico down our throats, NO MATTER what they do to us. He doesn't seem to care that Americans are sick to death of Mexican invaders.
