Palominas, AZ (ABP) 02/12/03 -- An American Border Patrol Hawkeye has reported that 10-12 suspected illegals attacked a Border Patrol agent near Palominas, Arizona last night by sneaking up behind him and knocking him unconscious with a rock as he was approaching the group. The assailants allegedly stole the agent's gun, badge, radio, etc. More details will be posted as they become available later today. The Hawkeye has indicated that serious consequences will become known today sometime. Stay tuned.

The outrage grows...

There is more here than meets the eye. Something else was also going down last night in that area. More to follow.

Ping!

The entire INS Agency in DC just hit the showers.

This has to be all wrong. Bush says they are friendly peace loving people in search of a better life.

[Egregious Philbin]

10-12 people does not represent an accurate cross-section of a much larger group.

were these middle east mexicans?

[Spiff]

Could be Mexican nationals intruding across our border - could be terrorists who didn't want to get caught. Welcome to the wide-open border in Cochise County Arizona. Illegal alien workers to the left - terrorists to the right - keep the line moving.

We need the miliary protecting our borders, not spread out overseas. The threat to us will come from the 7 million or whatever illegals and the open borders.

We aren't going to do a darn thing about this until we are attacked by terrorists who we will later find out came across the Mexican border!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[joesnuffy]

Maybe if the BP would allow the help of honest armed American citizens instead of harrassing them this couldnt happen...
Its gonna get worse as the illegals will continue to up the anty
Close the borders and let the militia do what the founders intended

[cynicom]

So it is ok to whack him aside the head???? I thought they were law breakers entering the country illegally??? My mistake.

[Centurion2000]

And they could have moved a nuke or each guy could be carrying vials of smallpox .....

The outrage continues.

[Lunatic Fringe]

Animals....

[JackelopeBreeder]

The Border Patrol agents have never complained about help from the local citizens' groups.

Bush says they are friendly peace loving people in search of a better life.

I take it Bush didn't say that these 10-12 people are "friendly peace loving people in search of a better life." I assumed you meant Mexican illegals in general. I would definitely agree with Bush that they're looking for a better life, and i'm sure at least a few are friendly and peace loving.

[cynicom]

Illegals are lawbreakers. Bush is doing nothing to stop the flood.

This is a curious statement. If this were from a foreign news source I just might write it off to discrepencies between languages, but that can't be the case here. Is this usually the way these things are reported?

Fill me in, FReepers.

[Digger]

Yea, so what's new? Remember this "Two-Party Cartel" is NEVER going to do anything about this crises. You must vote in a 3rd party.

Illegal alien workers to the left - terrorists to the right - keep the line moving.

That sounds like post access this morning.
