We are a nation of laws. Are INS agents legally permitted to murder illegal immigrants? The INS officers have no RESPONISBILITY to kill illegal immigrants, assuming that they are not being threatened. Do they take an oath upon becoming INS officers? Does any part of that oath involve swearing to uphold the laws of the USA? Is there any law that says "Kill people who come into this country illegally?"

I sticking by what I wrote previously. Cause and effect. Action and reaction. The ULTIMATE RESPOSIBILITY of this outcome lies in the hands of the IDIOT who woke up that morning and decided to break the law and illegally enter the US. It's really simple, yes we are a nation of laws.....no I do not think the INS officers job is to kill illegal invaders. But having said that, I still say that had the trespasser chose to walk down to the corner go-go bar that day and suck down a few beers, he would have lived to see another day.

If you break the law, you suffer ANY AND ALL potential consequences. It's kinda like the science of physics, specifically dealing with "probable outcomes" . Each decision you make in each moment of each day has many "probable" outcomes as well as a few "improbable outcomes".

If you go skydiving or "extreme" skiing, you should have previously sat down and thought about the probable as well as POSSIBLE outcomes. If your parachute doesn't open, the probable outcome is that you will proceed to screw yourself into the center of the earth......it's a chance you take.

The illegal trespasser should have thought about the possibility of dying of dehydration, starvation, severe or deadly ass-kicking.....it all goes with the territory.

No, what happened shouldn't have happened, but it did. As far as I'm concerned the fault lies 100% with the a$$hole crossing the border that day, logically speaking it can not be any other way.


If you stand on the street corner and sell crack, you MUST take 100% responsibility for the consequences of your actions, no matter how severe they are. Once again, I agree with you that the INS has no responsibility to kill illegals........$hit happens, I would not fault the INS officer in this case.

Who told you we were a nation of laws? The Government?
The same Government that says that the illegals do not have to follow the same laws that we do.

I have already asked President Bush to send me a list of the laws that I do not have to follow. Needless to say he has not answered my letter.

We are only a nation of laws for the suckers that have to follow them. You know the ones, the taxpayers.

You asked if there was a law stating that we should kill illegals. No but I bet if there was, the invasion would stop, don't you?

Is there any law that says "Kill people who come into this country illegally?"

Perhaps there should be?
