DOUGLAS - A U.S. Border Patrol security video camera captured the fatal shooting Thursday of an undocumented immigrant by an agent who said he fired after rocks were thrown at him.

The shooting has Mexican officials questioning the story and looking for witnesses on their side of the border.

[chachacha]

Yep we're the guilty ones. Surely the Mexicans "Oops" I mean Brazilians, "Oops" I mean the Chillieans, "Oops" I mean, "you get the point".

"It's a lie. They're (Border Patrol agents) racist," Jueves said.

Yeah, that's right! The white man is always racist. I'm really sick of this crap. Fortunately it's working less and less. Whenever I'm accosted by liberals with the racist argument I always respond that I am, indeed: I'm against any violence-prone, lawbreaking, non-productive, anti-social scumbag of any race or ethnic group.

[Mears]

I just hope that the border patrol agent doesn't pay a price for this. I would have shot him too.

God,I'm sick of these whining illegals!!!!

Note to the Tucson Citizen, the term illegal alien uses less ink than undocumented immigrant. Save money.

El Zorro, are you listening? Good! the headline should read . . .

Invader killed by border agent; Nothing here to see move along.

Regarding the use of racism:

Fear not, its overuse has caused the word to be meaningless. Numerous whiteys (of which I am one) that I know here in Atlanta just laugh like crazy when someone mentions racism to them. The word has no shock meaning anymore. The race warlords are going to have to come up with something else.

Regarding the shooting of the illegal border crosser:

The border guard was DOING HIS JOB. This person was invading the United States of America and paid the price -- the eternal celestial dirtnap.

"The justification is always the same: They were throwing rocks," Escobar said.

It's time to get the message out to your people, Escobar. Stay home!

[gitmo]

Invading alien is more precise.

[Tacis]

When you compare this year's results to last year's results, it certainly looks like all that additional target practice has paid off.

[Budge]

Damn selfish Americans! It's ALL our fault!

[Tancredo Fan]

It's time to get the message out to your people, Escobar. Stay home!

I'm all for tossing out Escobar and his meddling brethren and shutting down all of those loathsome Mexican invasion stations as well. All those Mexican consul cucarachas do nothing but cause trouble in the U.S.

In an Agua Prieta plaza where many immigrants Illegal Alien Invaders pass their time before making the risky trek

For the 564th time, they ain't "immigrants"...

Every inch of the border ought to be covered by a machine-gun, its operator supplied with a liberal amount of ammmunition, and encouraged to use it. Is that a terrible statement? 75 years ago probably 95% of the adult population, especially the men (for such creatures existed back then), would have agreed with it, all other options having clearly failed. But so psychologically crippled are we today that the average male would get a case of the vapors if a public figure were to suggest it (it's rathism, don't you know).

Secondly, here is a headline I'd like to see: Illegal Alien Robs And Murders American Citizen; Newspapers Ignore The Crime. Spin it anyway you want, the reality is that these aliens cause more suffering than they receive. Our prisons are filled with them. This one-sided portrayal of violence and suffering by the mass media amounts to dehumanization of its chosen victim group and sponsorship of the crimes against them. The bottom line is that there is the truth, and the portrayal of racial violence seen in the mass media is not the truth, even allowing for interpretation. It is propagandistic lies, whose root source is hatred and chief benefit is power.

Thirdly, why is there a Mexican consul in Douglas? Does every city in the U.S. have one? It would seem so. Only a traitor would tolerate such a huge number of foreign government operatives whose sole function is to facilitate an invasion and serve as agents of influence for the benefit of that hostile foreign power. These "consuls" work for Mexico, who do our leaders work for?

Shoot them all.

[F16Fighter]

Enough of this crap...

I'd like to hear the first politician explain on the boob-tube to the American people why America's borders shouldn't be defended from illegal invasion.

Time for U.S. troops to enforce our sovereign borders.

[Travis McGee]

TOUGH MIERDE.

Numerous whiteys (of which I am one) . . .

You're an insensitive cracker honky, is what! :)

[Billy_bob_bob]

I do see a very definite trend emerging. How long before those accused of "racism" finally get so fed up that they no longer care about "racism". How much further from that point to the point where people start saying "we've done the time, now we are going to do the crime".

I see a great and terrible backlash brewing, the kind of backlash that makes the book of Revelations look like a children's tea party.

I'm with you on this!
