How about to anyone in Mexico --stay on your side of the border and come into the US LEGALLY--paperwork and all. What is so wrong with the concept?I've always disliked people entering the nation illegally and it elevates the possibility of terrorists--more so coming in from Canada but still---if you want to live in America and be an American citizen--do it the right way and there is no problems. I feel bad for those who live near the Mexican border right now with all of the strife going on there. Mexico has to take care of it s own house and if someone wants to become an American citizen--cool--but do it through the correct channels and then its case closed.

Mexico anger high as US Border Patrol kills teen

By OLIVIA TORRES and CHRISTOPHER SHERMAN, Associated Press Writers Olivia Torres And Christopher Sherman, Associated Press Writers – Wed Jun 9, 6:29 am ET

CIUDAD JUAREZ, Mexico – Mexicans are seething over the second death of a countryman at the hands of U.S. Border Patrol agents in two weeks, an incident near downtown El Paso that is threatening to escalate tensions over migrant issues.

U.S. authorities said Tuesday a Border Patrol agent was defending himself and colleagues when he fatally shot the 15-year-old as officers came under a barrage of big stones while trying to detain illegal immigrants on the U.S. side of the Rio Grande.

yeah, those big stones are awfully dangerous & life threatening when 15 year olds are hurling them at you at 100 mph.

After 7 years & 40K+ posts, banned by martin for calling Nalod a 'moron'. Awesome.

sht like this is going to happen--this is why laws are created to keep civility. Mexicans treat the border like the drive thru at Mcds. If they did it the right way--0 problems

sorry but there is zero justification for a border patrolman shooting & killing a 15 yo kid who's throwing rocks at him... i don't care if he was holding a 20 lb. bag of cocaine in his arms while crossing the border... there has to be some sort of non-lethal protocol to deal with instances like this.

Lot of 15 year olds are man sized. My son was 6 foot tall at that age. Now, we have not seen how close they are but a baseball size rock with edge can kill a man.

How about NOT throwing a deadly object at a man with a gun who has a uniform on?

a taser would have been effective & wouldn't have killed the kid... sorry, u can't justify this one.

Big rocks can kill. These guys are doing their jobs. How can you justify throwing big ass rocks. These guys are arresting a dude that was breaking the law. He wants to go home and see his wife and kids. He wants to take his kids to school. No but wait, some kid is trying to kill him with a rock. If he is close enough to taser, the rock hurler is close enough to put one deadly.

Im not saying its cool to kill Teens by any means, but teens can kill......

where the hell am i justifying throwing big rocks at cops here? i said it's an overuse of force to shoot a kid who's throwing rocks with live ammo... if riot cops in NYC were to shoot live ammo at US citizen rioters throwing rocks at them & ended up killing them u don't think there would have been a huge uproar over the whole incident? but hey, what do we care about these illegal alien Mexican kids.

I see. Shooting him dead was more than justified. Hmm, maybe the guard should have shot him in the leg. And theeeen used the rock to smash his head in. Voila, justice served. He woun't be throwing them rocks no more.

If you ask me if I think is ts fair that's one thing. No it's not. We not talking about a child who is innocent. How about instead of blaming others grieving Mexico tell it's people that US border agents have targets of violence and maybe they don't like teens either. http://blog.taragana.com/law/2009/11/20/teen-pleads-guilty-to-murdering-border-patrol-agent-during-robbery-try-17546
