CIUDAD JUAREZ, Mexico – Mexicans are seething over the second death of a countryman at the hands of U.S. Border Patrol agents in two weeks, an incident near downtown El Paso that is threatening to escalate tensions over migrant issues.

U.S. authorities said Tuesday a Border Patrol agent was defending himself and colleagues when he fatally shot the 15-year-old as officers came under a barrage of big stones while trying to detain illegal immigrants on the U.S. side of the Rio Grande.

Don’t like it, go home.

Concurrently, if the Mexican Government doesn't like how we handle things on OUR side of the border, they're more than welcome to invade. >:-)

We need to deport or imprison ALL illegal aliens, seal/secure the border and SHOOT anyone who tries to re-enter illegally. I am so tired of this trash that is sucking the life out of my country.

All parties should lay this and similar deaths on Mexico’s feudal system and cucarachas on both sides of the Line.

Never bring a rock to a gunfight.

“Mexican President Felipe Calderon said Tuesday that his government ‘will use all resources available to protect the rights of Mexican migrants.’”

I wish we could be confident about our own Federal government’s commitment toward LEGAL US citizens.

"all resources available"????

Bring it, Felipe. A fight between the creme of your military and the Texas National Guard would be both brief and entertaining.

The Mexican Government needs to create conditions which allow their people to learn, work, and have decent lives in their own country. Mexico is a rich country, with oil, year round agriculture, fishing and tourism. It sits right next to the world’s largest and most open market. It’s people are victims of centuries of corrupt and incompetent government. Criticizing American BP officers for defending our borders and their own lives is a distraction.

“The government “reiterates its rejection to the disproportionate use of force on the part on U.S. authorities on the border with Mexico,” the president added in a statement.”

So the Border Patrol now will carry rocks??

So a foreigner trying to invade our country was repelled by heroes defending the border. Not seeing the problem here, especially if our border patrol heroes keep on racking up the kills. They’re criminals and enemy invaders, so nobody should be shedding a tear.
