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.
About 30 relatives and friends gathered late Tuesday to mourn Sergio Adrian Hernandez Huereka, whose shooting Monday evening came along the border with Texas. He died on the Mexican side of the river.
"Damn them! Damn them!" sobbed Rosario Hernandez, sister of the dead teenager, at a wake in the family's two-room adobe house on the outskirts of Ciudad Juarez.
Preliminary reports on the incident indicated that U.S. officers on bicycle patrol "were assaulted with rocks by an unknown number of people," Border Patrol Special Operations Supervisor Ramiro Cordero said Tuesday.

Hooray for the Border Patrol. We need to deport or imprison ALL illegal aliens, seal/secure the border and SHOOT anyone who tries to re-enter illegally.
The Mexican/US border is turning into an Israel/Gaza clone.
Well, I guess the message here is that if you throw rocks, expect to get shot at...
I hope that idea gets out to the thugs right across the border...
Mexico can get angry all it wants, they can go pound sand for all I care...Clean up your own house before critisizing someone elses...
yeah, they’re just as upset as they are about the increasing number of Americans being killed in Mexico. (need I sarq it?)
