Oh no! Prayers go out for this man's family. May God comfort them and give them strength in the difficult days ahead.

I wonder if he accidently drowned or if he was drowned with help....

I’m to the point I feel the BP should shoot first and let God sort ‘em out.... Enough is enough.

Very sad. Prayers to the family.

This couldn't possibly have been a murder by an illegal. They are here strictly for the American Dream. Any bad behavior on their part is instantly learned once they step foot on our soil because America takes away the good Catholic teachings that the illegals were taught. (sarc

What the?

Border Patrolmen should not be sent out alone anymore.. 1 Patrolmen 1 National Guardsmen with a M16 and the right to self defense.

Maybe just an accident maybe not but darn it they deserve better.

Prayers

Always heard never swim alone.

“Assisted drowning”?

Sympathies to the agent’s family, friends, fellows...

This death, courtesy of the United States’ excuse of a government.

Was it an accident?

Was it murder?

I will opt for the murder idea. The murderer will gain all that America offers and never be caught.

If the family has the means they had better get legal help to have an independent autopsy performed if they want to know the truth.

Illegally crossing the boarder needs to be recognized as the THREATENING crime that it is.

It is an aggressive act of force and violence, and should be responded to as such. I didn't like the BP shooting that guy in the back not long ago ... but when you put it in context ... the guy was ATTACKING us.
Just because he turned and ran didn't mean he wasn't still ATTACKING us .
Do soldiers stop shooting if the enemy starts to pull back?
The BP shouldn't have been put in a position where they thought they had to lie to cover their ass. They shouldn't have been prosecuted .

Niland is a whole different world. Spend some time there and you think you've traveled into the twilight zone. Border patrol agents do work alone out there (mostly maintaining sensors) and often apprehend "coyotes."

You'd have a hard time drowning in the Coachella canal. It is a welcome relief to take a dip when it's hot but unless the agent had a heart attack, I'm thinking foul play. And not necessarily from illegals.

Niland is roughly fifty miles from the border. Temperatures regularly surpass 110 degrees in the summer. It is a hot spot (literally) for "coyotes." It's very desolate and there is a huge Marine Corps aerial gunnery range that borders the East side of the Coachella canal.

Sadly you find dead illegals (always young or old)because smugglers abandoned them. They're in the middle of nowhere and they have no idea where to go. This is usually preceded by robbery and sometimes rape.

One summer we found a teenage girl who had been abandoned. She was suffering from heat stroke. Unfortunately our medical personell couldn't save her.

Prayers and sympathy for this agent's family.

Border patrol agent found dead in canal

From the link...

Kim also told broadcast reporters that there had been past incidents where agents on patrol had fallen into the canal.

Did they all end up dead?

This is just what our President wants — for the invaders to have free passage and our front-line defenders to be killed.

Coachella Canal

A California Border Patrol agent was found dead Friday evening, floating in the Coachella Canal, near the Salton Sea, officials said.

As reported on thedesertsun.com, the agent apparently drowned and was found in a canal, said Agent Enrique Lozano.

The agent, Lozano said, died while on duty.

A second spokesman with the El Centro office said the dead agent was stationed in Indio.

At press time, the agent’s family had yet to be notified.

The Border Patrol did not release the agent’s name.

At the scene, Border Patrol Agent David Kim told broadcast reporters that the agent was reported missing about 3 p.m. Searching agents found his vehicle in a remote area near the canal and later found his body in the canal.

Kim also told broadcast reporters that there had been past incidents where agents on patrol had fallen into the canal.

Lozano would not confirm broadcast reports that the dead agent had been reported missing earlier in the day, and that his body was found by other Border Patrol agents who had been searching for him.

Riverside and Imperial county sheriff’s deputies responded to the scene at the Salton Sea near Niland, in Imperial County, which is about 60 miles southeast of Indio.

Officials could not say whether the agent’s death was an accident.

The incident remains under investigation.
