Person shot dead at US border
From: AAP
From correspondents in Washington
May 19, 2006
US authorities shot dead a person apparently trying to illegally cross into the United States from Mexico, police said.
The victim was apparently in a car trying to drive past the San Ysidro border control post in southern California when border patrol officers fired, Gary Hassen, a spokesman for nearby San Diego police, said.
The San Ysidro post, between the Mexican city of Tijuana and San Diego, is one of the busiest in the world, with 14 million cars and 40 million people crossing into the United States every year.
The shooting comes amid a heated debate in the US over illegal immigration from Mexico.

see my post #1423; I was first informed of this by WestCoastGal
Thanks, nic. I just got back online and this is the first news I see.
Ceecee, see post 1423.
No. I'd say his staff is scrambling in the background to do damage control. But what do I know?
Someone else did point out tonight, I think on Larry King, that the things that has consisently gotten the President into the most trouble with his base has been going along with Kennedy on things like No Child Left Behind and now Immigration.
I saw a custom-made vehicle almost exactly like this one at the car show I went to last weekend!
Latest I saw on the NG, they are not going to be patrolling for illegals but doing something else... who knows what?
Looking for Minutemen and Minutewomen?
Anderson Cooper has been showing this on his show tonight, he just happened to be in San Ysidro.
yw. I haven't had on the news today, and so wasn't aware of this either (but for some strange reason, I doubt Faux news would have covered it in detail anyways. )
Ours is not to reason why.... etc, etc.
~LOL~ Anderson's camera's just showed illegals waking back and forth in the fence that is on the beach at the border.. he was showing, the other night, how the slats are so far apart (I think this was to appease enviros who held it up for a long time) that people can step right through it.
Retroactive SS? And here I am having to wait another 10 years to retire... what will be left? I want my money now!!
BTW, whatever happened to this administration's Social Security reform?
HMMMMM???!!!!
Like so many other things, dropped like a hot potato.
Amnesty is Kennedy's baby all the way.
Props to Tancredo for telling the truth.
Wow!
He had that little cat ate the canary look on his face when he spilled it.
No, just bow to the master.
Wow!
