Border Patrol agent shoots Russian citizen in Arizona desert

A Russian national was shot by a Border Patrol agent Thursday night in the Arizona desert near Lukeville, on the Mexican border southwest of Tucson. The individual, whose identity was not released by authorities, was taken to a Phoenix-area hospital... Lukeville is an unincorporated hamlet with a border crossing, and lies within the Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument in a rugged stretch of desert about 110 miles southwest of Tucson. The area has seen a large number of migrants crossing the border to turn themselves in to federal border agents and request asylum over the past year... The Trump administration began erecting 30-foot-tall steel bollard panels for the president's "border wall" on the national monument — a protected wildlife refuge — near Lukeville in late August.

It is not just welfare queens and narcotics that can enter through an unsecure border. Terrorists, weapons of mass destruction, or enemy saboteurs during war; are other threats, for which we should prepare our border infrastructure, while peacetime gives us the time required to get it done.

But the Russian’s will just come in some other way so let’s not stop them from the southern border.

The Russky didn’t get the message that all the other get...

Give yourself up to the Border Patrol agents once over the border, and they will sign you up for welfare and register you to vote.

Don’t fight with them.

Perhaps he had some special reason not to have any contact with the authorities.

“Around 7:15 p.m., the agent “responded to a single subject suspected of crossing the border illegally just east of Lukeville,” a Customs and Border Protection spokesman said.

As the agent attempted to detain the person, a struggle took place, and the agent shot the individual.”

This is not the Ukraineski.

But .... but ....Trump is Putin’s puppet.

UK Daily Mail reports:

Russian news outlet identified man as Evgeny Gluschenko, 37.

WTF is a RUSSIAN doing illegally crossing the USA/Mexico border? How did he get there? Who paid him to get there. What was his purpose in crossing there?

[BeauBo]

That area of the border is in the process of getting walled off, and getting persistent surveillance and alarms installed. Thank you President Trump. KAG.

November 4, 2019, in the vicinity of Lukeville, Arizona.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Seriously, the true Russian agents can just come in to the Turtle Bay neighborhood where the UN is located.

Look up OTMs caught by BP.

At least 100,000 per year OTMs are captured every year.

Russia not sending their best... most slavic illegals are involved with human trafficking and dope...

[NorthMountain]

I’m familiar with the term OTM ... Africans, Arabs, Persians, Chinese ... RUSSIANS ... they’re not just looking for under the table work or welfare benefits. What are they here for? who’s paying for and arranging their travel?

Once the Democrats told the world that our borders can’t be enforced, citizens from around the globe are flying to Mexico to take their chances walking across.

[grey_whiskers]

Why didn’t he come in through Minnesota or North Dakota?

[mass55th]

Probably came to get his donation to The Clinton Foundation back.

[ClearCase_guy]

Impeachable offense #347.

[Eddie01]

this is awesome!

too bad it wasn’t john brennan.

makes the next guy think.

[cloudmountain]

Why didn’t he come in through Minnesota or North Dakota?

Probably because North Dakota was in the throes of its summer, with sub-zeros temperatures.

[MinuteGal]

FReepers, let your congresscritters know that YOU know about this particular incident in the ongoing invasion from all over the world.

No sense talking about it among ourselves, correcto?

The enemedia certainly isn't going to put this on "breaking news", or probably anywhere else, either.
