Video of a Webb County Sheriff has surfaced as he points his gun at Mexican nationals. It's stirred up controversy on the international level. The Sheriff's Department is now responding to video that surfaced of one of their deputies pointing a gun at undocumented immigrants. The Sheriff's Department says they received information that a wanted fugitive from Mexico who escaped from a Nuevo Laredo prison was now living in the United States, but a video that surfaced today shows a Webb County deputy forcing individuals trying to cross into the U.S. back into Mexico by pointing a gun. "I think sheriffs should only act if it endangers citizens from Laredo other wise they should ask for the support of the Border Patrol."

Personally, I think that invaders need to be shot as they break into our home.....eliminates repeat offenders, too.

"Reaction To Sheriff's Deputy Pointing Firearm at Immigrants..."

.... After reading this article .... I don't believe there were any "Immigrants" present during this incident ...... only illegal trespassers breaking Local, State, and Federal Law.

Further, illegal aliens should not be protected by US law from violence by private parties. No prosecutor should be funded to pursue perpetrators of crimes against illegals, just as they should not be funded to pursue crimes against criminals who have escaped from jail.

I agree. We need to have more people on the border who would stop illegals from entering the US at gun point, not less.

I don’t remember the details,but some rancher was forced to pay restitution to some illegals that were stealing and trashing his property and he was trying to protect it. This was awhile back in time.

They should publicize the name and address of the lawyer who handled the case for the illegals.

First disbar them, then jail them for treason.

Forcing illegals back at gunpoint sounds like a reasonable plan of national self defense.

I would like to attend the ceremony where he gets a medal, a Commendation and a promotion for saving American taxpayers about a million dollars in handouts to these illegals.

"Mexican Nationals" huh? Is this now the new catch phrase as to not incriminate ILLEGALS? If they are "Mexican Nationals" and here illegally, then they are invaders.
Go ahead and point that gun at foreign invaders; enemies foreign and domestic.

What comes to mind is the Coastman who spotted Germans landing on Long Island in 1942. He pointed a rifle at them.

It's stirred up controversy on the international level.

Translation:

The criminal invaders do not want guns pointed at them as they break the law.

"Further, illegal aliens should not be protected by US law"

Non-citizens, absolutely, should have no "Standing" in U.S. Courts, period. Since they technically do not exist on U.S. Soil, there's no harm/no foul.
