Illegal aliens are pervasive. They are everywhere. They kill, per day, more Americans than we loose in Iraq. If they're deported they come right back. They commit multiple crimes. They taunt us with their illegality. They drain our taxpayer funded entitlement programs. They mock our Rule of Law. They have little respect for our culture. Our national sovereignty is a joke to them. Rule of Law: trashed US Sovereignty: trashed Democratic process: trashedAnd add one more item to your list:
Any Border Patrol Agent who attempts to actually stop an illegal alien from entering:
Trashed.
What the Bush executive branch of government (the executive is the enforcement branch, straps, just in case you failed to learn our constitution), is throw two Border Patrol agents to the wolves. It's no different in principle than taking two US soldiers in Iraq and handing them over to AQ for beheading, to make some political point to all the other US soldiers.
In this case the point is clear: Do not shoot at illegals, even those bringing in 800 pounds of pot in a van. Otherwise, you go to jail for a decade-plus and the illegal gets $5 million.
