EL PASO — A Border Patrol agent shot and killed a suspected smuggler at the fence that separates El Paso from Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, authorities said today.

Jose Alejandro Ortiz Castillo, a 23-year-old man who had been caught crossing the border 28 times since 1999, died in Mexico shortly after the Wednesday night shooting, Border Patrol spokesman Doug Mosier said.

And Jorge Busho is going to increase the number of agents on the border, only they're not allowed to enforce the law?

What're these guys supposed to use? Harsh language and dirty looks?

Why doesn`t the BP call himself an “insurgent” then he will get all the support he needs from the press.

Well, if they know he was caught crossing illegally twenty-eight times, they now know that there won’t be a twenty-ninth.

He picked up a rock when the BP agent was arresting the woman.

I wonder what the entire story is? I don’t think they just randomly shoot people, even if they’re crossing illegally. If they did this type of story would be an every day event.

“Border Brigade of the Islamic Jihad.” Every moonbat in the country would be holding a candle-light vigil to support them.

Sick Johnny Sutton on him! Jail him!

Seriously, what does it say about a nation that prosecutes its soldiers for combat errors in Iraq, and its own border agents for using deadly force? We are eating our own. Is this the "end of empire"?

The perfect solution has been available for 30 years--landmines on the border.

Garcia said his primary concern is that it appears that agents are taking a "shoot first and ask questions later" approach to their work on the border.

It's called "Border Control".

My theory is libs don`t like it when the “drug mules” get their arse shot up because inevitably it raises the price of their cocaine. I mean seriously; If cocaine didn`t exist, what would the press have to celebrate about our celebrities? Britney, Paris, and Lindsay and 99.9999% of Hollywood wouldn`t make good news fodder.

“Ortiz and two men in the group ran back into Mexico. Ortiz’s body was found at the edge of the Rio Grande.”

Adrenaline, I guess.
