Far be it from me to second guess what exactly happended, but it would not suprise me if the Agent missed on purpose. Every agent knows that a lawsuit is a certainty. Every agent knows the possibility of having your life ruined is very real. As we have seen with the Ramos and Campeanos trial you could very well not even get a fair trial.

Unfortuntely you are right.

The agent will be looking for a new job and the ILLEGALS will be sitting in front of a welfare worker for freebies before this is over.

The BP agent should have let them go. The New River is nasty, it has been classified as one of the 10 most polluted waterways in North America. They wouldn't have gone too far once they left the water and headed out into the open desert. It is alot cooler here lately, but the sun will still beat you down, and these guys typicaly don't carry enough water.

“They began throwing rocks at the agent,”

Caveman mentality invading America.

The fact that Ramos and Campeanos are being prosecuted for doing their jobs has to send a chill down every border patrol agent's spine, and it must make the invaders even more arrogant.

The agents have been railroaded by their own country, and this case should be thrown out immediately!

The location they are talking about is just about 100 or so yards north of the border. The New River flows from Mexicali into the USA with the sewage and chemical plant runoff from 1 million population in Mexicali. Untreated and raw. It's so bad the water has what appears to be soap suds floating on it. Trust me, they ain't soap suds!

When the Sheriff's Office dive team has to recover bodies from the New River, they have to wear environmental full protection dive suits. When they get out they are hosed down and decontaminated. It's a sure thing you will catch a desease after a swim in that water.

And here's the USBP having to wrestle with these slugs sneaking in by swimming or wading across that polluted cesspool.

I think I'd a shot too to scare them back into Mexico, so I wouldn't have to touch 'em!

I think we need immunity for border patrol agents.

There should also be tort immunity in the form of elminating attorney fees. OR if the attorney fees are awarded the agency providing the lawyer can't claim tax exempt status.

With pathetic accounts such as this, is there any wonder that the McCaul Report yesterday said that the narco-terrorists are in charge of our border?

"As the group came up on a river gate installed to stop immigrants from making their way farther north, a group ..."

What would immigrants being doing there? They more likely would be illegal aliens or smugglers.
