CIUDAD JUAREZ, Mexico (AP) -- A U.S. Border Patrol agent fatally shot a 15-year-old Mexican boy after a group trying to illegally enter Texas threw rocks at officers at an international bridge near downtown El Paso, U.S. authorities said Tuesday.

The shooting, which happened Monday evening, drew sharp criticism from Mexico, where the government said Tuesday that "the use of firearms to repel attacks with stones represents disproportionate use of force.....

This misconception comes up time and time again. These days, Mexicans are more likely to be Protestant/Evangelical or no affiliation.

As more & more of these youngsters are emboldened by their elders you’re going to have more cases of “children” being killed.

Close the damn boarders.

What gives these people the right to throw rocks at U.S. officials doing their job? I don’t know why any person would want to serve in the Border Patrol, since the administration they work for doesn’t support their job.

SCREW MEXICO! That POS president can go straight to Hell. Shoot every damn one of his trespassing bastards that attempts to violate our borders... I do not care what their age. Perhaps, after we snuff several hundred of them, President rump swab will get the message: “Stay out! You are not welcome here!” We ought declare war on Mexico and bomb them into the stone age... They might then take “no” seriously.

About dammned time! Our cities are overrun with the illegal invaders. Our citizens raped and nurdered by these criminals. Our medical system is at the breaking point because they drop their 5th, 6th, 7th or 8th kid at the county hospital or crowd the ER for a hangnail, expecting the taxpayer to foot the bill. They are all criminals and are subject the any outcomes that criminal enterprise entails. Up to and including getting shot by law enforcement officials.

Commit the crime...be ready for the punishment. Don’t want to die? Don’t break our laws.

Anger high.

My anger’s high at Mexico. Why can’t you keep your citizens under control and prevent them from invading our country? Why do you print pamphlets out and tell your people how to illegally cross our borders and break our laws?

The ones that are alive don't throw rocks at Mexican cops...that phenomenon only occurs in the liberal USA.

One has to wonder what any religion has done for the country with millions of them so ready to break the law, whether illegal immigration or beheading eachother.

"Arturo Sandoval, a spokesman for the Chihuahua Attorney General's office, said a spent 40-mm shell was found near the body - raising the question of whether the fatal shot was fired inside Mexico, although he did not explicitly make that suggestion."

40 MM? A tear gas round, maybe? Or a rubber bullet?

Things started going downhill fast when they stopped being devout Christians. Not the only country where this happened.

So the anger is high, huh? Um, I guess U.S. citizens are not angry about the massive illegal immigration, the illegal driving without insurance, the drug trafficking, the intimidation by groups of Hispanics, the spread of a belief system many of us simply will not accept (to the point of death in my case), the selling of one’s Social Security No. for use by illegals by those who actually get one, the rape of young women, the massive crowding of housing units, the disrespect to the U.S. Flag and culture, the diseases they bring up here (tuberculosis and whooping cough specifically), the gang activity, etc., ad nauseum. Not. Definitely not. “Come and Take it!!!”

The Barry Goldwater bombing range on the Arizona border has to stop its activities regularly because often there are hundreds of illegals crossing it, and they don't want to hurt them. In 2005, 45 training events had to be canceled.

"The Barry M. Goldwater Range is operated by the 56th Fighter Wing Range Management Office, Airspace and Range Operations office. The Barry M. Goldwater Range (formerly the Luke Air Force Range) is located in southwest Arizona. It serves the U.S. Air Force and the U.S. Marine Corps as an armament and high-hazard testing area; a training area for aerial gunnery, rocketry, electronic warfare, and tactical maneuvering and air support; and a place to develop equipment and tactics. It also serves other defense-related purposes....It consists of 2.7 million acres of relatively undisturbed Sonoran Desert. Overhead are 57,000 cubic miles of airspace where fighter pilots practice air-to-air maneuvers and engage simulated battlefield targets on the ground. Its immense size allows for simultaneous training activities on the nine air-to-ground ranges and two air-to-air ranges. More than 50 aircrews and aircraft may be operating simultaneously on the range while performing many independent training operations...."

The only way we are going to stop this is to start shooting them. But we do not have the will to do that.

The Mexicans don’t get upset when they send their military into the U.S. and their punk military shoots at our citizens in our own country. Pi$$ on the whole cesspool of a country. Let them do something about it. Stop the invasion. Put two full infantry divisions on a hardened border.

If a 15 year old is old enough to throw rocks at US Border Patrol officers, he’s old enough to pay the price with his life.
