CAMPO – A man who was shot in the head by a Border Patrol agent Friday as he drove several suspected illegal immigrants has died, authorities said. Potrero resident Ronald Deugan, 49, died about 7:40 p.m. Sunday at Sharp Memorial Hospital in San Diego, a Medical Examiner's investigator said.

Three agents opened fire on Deugan's pickup, wounding him and a front-seat passenger, authorities said. Four people in the back seat were not injured. Sheriff's investigators said Border Patrol agents followed the truck from the Campo area to the entrance of the Golden Acorn Casino on Old Highway 80 near Live Oak Springs. Agents reportedly walked up to the pickup, identified themselves and told the driver to stop. The driver allegedly backed up and drove toward the agents, prompting them to open fire, investigators said.

The front-seat passenger, a man, remains hospitalized.

>And I don’t want all ILLEGALS dead, just those who try to kill Border Patrol agents.<

Me neither. BUT I advocate placing land mines and bouncing betty(s) on the border. Placing sensor activated machine guns will also do the trick.

OK,OK your great leader Bush has been pro active securing the borders, pro sovereignty, and hasn't been Mexico's best friend, while totally ignoring the demands and will of the American people.

What was I thinking?? lol

Thank you for the link!

My question is this:

Why would a US citizen be acting as a coyote, bringing illegals into his own country? I don’t get it.

Could it be money?

East San Diego County is full of tweakers. They live to make and distribute their meth and they need money for the manufacture of their wares.

When did I say any of that?

In terms of thinking, maybe you should try it sometime. Anyone who cares to (not you, obviously) will find hundreds of posts from me denouncing Bush's retarded approach to illegals. But in the simple minds of some folks, one can't mouth a single criticism of the anti-illegal side without the uninformed who know nothing about the issue whining as you have above.

Bush is my leader. Not sure what country you're from, but in mine one can acknowledge one IS one's leader without agreeing with everything he does. Example: Ronald Reagan, show signed and amnesty bill (and supported abortion for the majority of his life).

I'm sorry this is all over your head, but I made the mistake of assuming you had some intelligence. I won't make that mistake again.

You got it. It's about money and many US citizens do it.

Wow, I'm devastated by your cutting wit.

Another FR thread descends to the name-calling of the uninformed. Later.

Every thread on ILLEGALS has some dirtbag who defends them.

Why they post on FR instead of DU where they will find like-minded twits remains a mystery.

Not trying to be witty. And I didn't call you any names. I said what your selling is swill.

It's easy to spot you Bush holdouts. You're not fooling anyone here. Bush has been Mexico's best friend while telling Americans to bite. You haven't noticed right?

This is just another open borders leftist attempting to dress himself up as some kind of conservative. They've done a great job driving the Republican party into a ditch.

We're surrounded by traitors IMO. They've f over this party but good.

Driven, no doubt, by an undying devotion to Señor Bush.

And yes, they are traitors; traitors to the conservative ideology this country needs to combat the scourge of liberalism.

It's incidents like this which HURT our attempts to persuade people about the urgent need to stop illegals from getting in.

Are you saying you wanted another Border Agent to be run over and killed? Do you remember what happened in Yuma a few weeks ago? My guess is that the Border Patrol has decided they don't want to be roadkill anymore.
