AP: Evil Border Patrol Oppresses Put-Upon Mexicans
Attacks on Border Patrol agents are getting so out of control, agents are actually allowed to respond — with non-lethal force, of course. Mexicans throw rocks and bricks and shoot ball bearings from slingshots to distract agents from those sneaking across the border; occasionally some pepper spray comes back their way as a reminder that technically, the USA is still a sovereign country. Here's how AP reports it:
"A neighbor shouted, 'Stop it! There are children living here," said Esther Arias Medina, 41, who on Wednesday fled her Tijuana, Mexico, shanty with her 3-week-old grandson after the infant began coughing from smoke that seeped through the walls.
A helmeted agent on the U.S. side said nothing as he stood with a rifle on top of a 10-foot border fence next to the three-room home that Arias shares with six others. […]
Witnesses in Arias' neighborhood described eight attacks since August that involved tear gas or pepper spray, some that forced residents to evacuate.
These "attacks" were not attacks, but rather responses to attacks, as our Border Patrol agents attempt to defend themselves from the violent thugs who are colonizing the Southwest from across the border — with the active assistance of both our government and the fifth-column propagandists at AP.

Back durring our other border war with Mexico (1910-1919) a US outpost was harrased dayly by rifle fire from the Mexican side. In order "not to provoke an incident", the commanding officer would not let the solders on guard duty have CARTRIDGES for their '03 Springfields. One solder got sick of the C**P and wrote to a friend back home to send him some 30-06 rounds. A few days later, four rounds arrived and he went on guard duty. As expected, the Mexicans opened fire, but this time he fired back (Not hitting anyone, BTW). He was reprimanded and given "extra duty", but THE ATTACKS STOPPED.
Think about it, won't you?
