(Reuters) - The Mexican government on Sunday condemned the fatal shooting of a Mexican citizen over the U.S. border by a U.S. agent. The victim was hit by a single bullet on Saturday, close to the Tomates-Veterans border crossing in Matamoros, over the river from Brownsville, Texas, Mexico's Foreign Relations Ministry said in a news release.

The shot was fired by a U.S. Border Patrol agent, the ministry said in the release.

"The Mexican government has reiterated that the disproportionate use of lethal force in immigration control is unacceptable under any circumstances," it said.

Why doesn’t the mexican government demand the extradition of Eric Holder for smuggling into Mexico thousands of illegal weapons, which have killed hundreds of mexican citizens so far?

"The Mexican government has reiterated that the disproportionate use of lethal force in immigration control is unacceptable under any circumstances," it said. Except on Mexcio's Southern border, which is fully miliarized.

Hypocritical scum...

Enough is enough

A former co-worker who traveled from Chile said that crossing into Mexico was the most dangereous part of the trip because the border guards there shoot to kill.

Don’t worry Mexico. The game of murdered citizens by the other is still a blow out. You have a huge lead with DWI, dope, robbery, rapes, and gang BS. Don’t be mad that we kicked one field goal late in the game.

Interesting. As usual, buried, ignored and not reported by the goose step media.

"According to media in Brownsville, an agent reported that he had fired in response to rocks being thrown over the border

Oh, oh! Based on previous experience, (remember BP Agents Ramos and Compean?) I would not want to be in that Agent's shoes.

I predict major complaints forthcoming from our corrupt, Socialist, "Neigbhors" to the South and their putting pressure on the DOJ and would not be surprised to see an indictment for Manslaughter, being handed up in the near future.
