So you think we should do away with civil liberties all together or just for those not born here. Don’t get me wrong, I am all for a border fence, but, shooting people in the back is not my idea of border security. There are some on this forum that would advocate putting up machine gun bunkers and mining the border killing anyone who dared to come accross, thats not what this country or our constitution is about.

When you enter any other country in the world, and are ordered to stop by border patrol but refuse and instead attempt to flee, what do you believe would happen?

Why do you think it incorrect or unconstitutional to use any means necessary to prevent the unauthorized breach of the American border?

No, but when a fleeing drug dealer is shot, I don't think that the people who shot him should get longer in jail than the dealer would have gotten, and I don't think the dealer should get a humanitaria visa to come back into the country.

Fair enough, but there is a priority problem here. I am not saying that these border agents should have done what they did, but when the Feds basically don't prosecute or do anything about the dealers, and then go after the guys who shoot at the dealers as hard as possible, it sends a certain message.

Agreed.
