Mexican consulate staff posing as U.S. immigration agents interfered with a murder and smuggling probe following a border patrol chase of illegal aliens that ended in a fatal freeway crash near San Diego.

The incident, which appears to be a breach of national sovereignty and security, began last Thursday when U.S. Border Patrol agents and California Highway Patrol officers chased a pickup truck loaded with Mexicans believed to have entered the U.S. illegally, according to San Diego radio talk show host Roger Hedgecock, whose staff has been investigating the story.

Deportation is long over due.......JUST WHO IS RUNNING OUR IMMIGRATION PROGRAM?

The Mexican government is knee deep in the drug and human smuggling. I'm sure glad Bush is willing to ignore it so he can curry favor with people who won't vote for us anyway.

Well, maybe this is the way it could be done, if the USA doesn't want to man our borders, then hire Mexicans to pose as Homeland Security officials and get them to do it.

But after Sept. 11, because of increased security requirements, the Mexican staff needed some kind of special ID to be allowed into the border patrol parking lot.

"So the INS went ahead and gave them the standard ID that says 'INS,'" Hedgecock said.

Though the badges were meant for a limited use, the Mexican consular employees used them to pose as INS employees, he said.

Well don't that beat all.  If you can't trust a mexican government official, well, then, just who can you trust?

Here's hoping W. contacts Presidente Fox soon to see what he wants us to do next.

They do it muy barrato maaaaaaaaaaan.

Want to sharpen your claws?

I don't see any way Bush can ignore this. Using consular staff in this capacity should get them the same treatment as spies.

Ding! Correct answer, five points!

Yes, this is what is called conduct incompatible. The ID fraudsters should be sent home as quick as they can pack their bags. For a bunch of snotty a-holes that probably view their posting to the U.S. as a huge status symbol, it will sure cramp their cocktail party style.

[Tijeras_Slim]

I thought they didn't need no steenkin' badges.

That's what they are ---we should be shutting all those consulates going up everywhere, they are here to protect the drug cartels' interests. Why spend a dime on the War On Drugs when we're allowing these people free rein throughout the US?

[Mr. K]

wait just a darn minute... Mexican OFFICIALS claimed to be INS agents???? Toss them out of the country now.

That is spying or espionage at BEST. Execute them.

[happygrl]

This is no way engenders respect for Mexico or its citizens. Maybe it would be better if it devolved into a shooting war instead of the farce it has become.

[Enemy Of The State]

Oh Im sure the Bush administration dismiss this and play it down like they do every single incident with Mexico.
