This man was not an illegal alien, he was a would-be immigrant and if only we had allowed him unfettered access to the U.S. this would-be immigrant would not have been forced to throw rocks at the Border Patrol agent and would be alive today working hard at a job so he could feed hs family and have a better life.

So says Mexico.

 

[Renegade]

Higher powers willed him to be born in Mexico . Should have stayed there .

"The Mexican government is demanding an investigation of the facts,"


Raul Martinez, a spokesman for the U.S. Border Patrol in San Diego, confirmed that an agent had fired on a man on Friday as he tried to cross the border near San Diego, after the would-be immigrant had thrown rocks at him.

The unidentified man crossed back into Mexico, where he later died of his injuries in a hospital.

DONE.

[A CA Guy]

Rocks thrown can kill, and throwing rocks at a guy with a gun is just plain retarded.

[Ben Mugged]

Put up signs (in English on the new wall) "Assault Border Agents and they will shoot you".

[umgud]

I ain't too bright, but I've always been smart enough to never ever throw rocks at someone carrying a gun.

Mexico demands....

The first illegal alien not to mooch off the US healthcare system. That's why Fox is mad.

[Tamar1973]

The move was slammed by the Mexican government, which has long sought an agreement with Washington to formalize the status of millions of Mexicans living illegally in the United States and regulate the flow of immigrants heading north.

The only Mexicans we should be "formalizing the status" of are the ones who come in here legally.

"the U.S. Border Patrol in San Diego, confirmed that an agent had fired on a man on Friday as he tried to cross the border near San Diego, after the would-be immigrant had thrown rocks at him."

Even though this man had nothing but disdain for U.S. laws and law enforcement officers, had he succeeded in sneaking into America he would be called by our leadership a "temporary guest worker". As much as I don't like to slam Pres. Bush during these trying times, I wish somebody would remind him that people are 'guests' only when they are invited.

Well, even the cursory investigation [since they insist on it] shows that the Border Patrol agent concerned could use some time on the range, and will be sent there for additional training. The next perp will be shot better, and would not be able to crawl back.

[Hill of Tara]

Good for the Border Patrol agent! He should be given a medal. Maybe if a few more illegal criminals meet the dead scumbag's fate, they will stop coming here.

[seastay]

Let's compare a pistol to......a rock..

Under stress, the average male can throw a rock at about 100 feet per second -- or a little over 60 miles an hour. Men seem to instinctively pick up rocks to throw that weigh about a pound. There are about 5,000 foot pounds of energy in that thrown rock. A pistol bullet weighs about 1/100th of a pound. A pistol "throws" that tiny "rock" ten times as fast as a human can throw a big rock or at about 1,000 feet per second. How much energy is there in that pistol shot? About 5,000 foot pounds -- which is the same energy as there was in that big rock.

would-be immigrant

illegal immigrant.

There, that's much better. :)

[Normal4me]

Pretty much sums up the "Investigation" in ten paragraphs. Besides, we need our "Investigating" money for the new wall so this doesn't happen again.

The unidentified man crossed back into Mexico, where he later died of his injuries in a hospital.

If he'd have been brought to a hospital on this side it would be another illegal alien whose medical bill we'd have to pay.

Check this thread just posted about Fox and his comment

[Sen Jack S. Fogbound]

That should be a warning to the sumbitches that try to cross the border illegally.

[ApplegateRanch]

"shows once again that only a law that guarantees organized, legal and respectful entry (to the United States) can solve the problems posed by ILLEGAL migration," Aguilar said.

There is one already. Mexicans don't respect it.

[voiceinthewind]

Our newspaper and tv calls them "Mexican Nationals". Can't recall the last time they just flat-out said illegals.
