Top administration officials have directed 21,000 border patrol officers to retreat whenever illegal immigrants throw rocks at them, and to avoid getting in front of foreign drug-smugglers’ vehicles as they head north with their drug cargoes.
“Agents shall not discharge firearms in response to thrown or hurled projectiles… agents should obtain a tactical advantage in these situations, such as seeking cover or distancing themselves,” said the instructions, issued Mar. 7, under the signature of Michael Fisher, chief of U.S. Border Patrol.
Agents were also directed to keep their weapons holstered when drug smugglers drive by.
Agents can’t use guns against “a moving vehicle merely fleeing from agents,” say the instructions.
The new instructions do allow agents to use guns to defend themselves from vehicles that drive at them. “Agents shall not discharge their firearms at a moving vehicle unless the agent has a reasonable belief that… deadly force is being used against an agent,” the new instructions say.
However, the instructions also suggest that officers be penalized if they don’t step back. Agents “should not place themselves in the path of a motor vehicle or use their body to block a vehicles’s path,” according to new instructions.
The new curbs were praised by advocates for greater immigration, including Juanita Molina, director of the Border Action Network. New Jersey Democratic Sen. Robert Menendez, and Democratic Rep. Zoe Lofgren, according to the Los Angeles Times.
Menendez is one of the drafters of the June 2013 Senate immigration bill, which would boost the inflow of legal immigrants and guest workers up to 40 million over the next decade. During the same period, roughly 40 million Americans will turn 18.

Maybe we should give them a pointed stick?
Put the heads of the drug dealers and coyotes on sticks and place them in the corridor. The illegals will turn around and go home very quickly.
But obviously that would be no defense against a giant wooden rabbit...
But he’ll, I don’t work for the state department so what do I know
LOLOL!!! tooo funny
Border Patrol could set up Travel Kiosks at the border...offer travel tips, maps and hotel discount coupons.
Rock attacks will sky rocket immediately.
Well if they can’t shoot at them, they can’t shoot at us.
Better get some County Mounties and State Patrol down there. Looks like a good application for all those wild-ass SWAT teams.
They got armored personell carriers, tanks....BLACK HELICOPTERS!
IOW, curl up in the fetal position and whimper like babies.
This frees up the DHS to harass US citizens driving down the road and their TSA goons to feel up old ladies and little kids.
Ramos paid the price. I hope Compean is enjoying his new career as an unarmed mall cop.
If the rock-throwing illegals can’t kill or maim an agent(s) with a rock, the next-best thing would be to have them run away from them.
Surprised DHS didn’t tell the troops to do the old cowboy trick of shooting the rocks out of their hands, or nailing the rocks mid-flight.
Now that would be entertainment.
I checked on my about page and noted my New Years wishes for 2009. One was for Conrad Black to be returned to Canada from his American jail. The other was for the two border agents to be returned to their families. These wishes were granted and Conrad Black had to wait longer though.
I put a heartfelt "thanks" shortly after on my remarks and then did a bit of checking. It was George W Bush himself that pardoned the two men. I now have mixed feelings cos' I shouted a "God bless" to the world at the time. Now it seems W has to bear some blame according to some posts. Always liked this president.
I do pray these good men are now well and truly settled in their lives.
Bull. This is right out of Jorge Busho's playbook.
This entire administration is just one outrage after another! The system was meant for people with a sense of ethics, fair play, honor, morality...the founders never imagined people like the progressives. Accordingly they never put any safeguards into place to combat them. Even if we had a united Republican party against them I don’t know there is much we could do given what the progressives control.
Is harsh language allowed?
And then put on sticks the heads of the idiots who came up with this policy. I’m serious.
