Mexicans Attack U.S. Border Patrol Agent
The Mexicans have been permitted to openly violate American laws for so long that now they apparently are genuinely offended when American law enforcement officers insist that they follow U.S. Law. If rule-of-law is ignored this is what happens. The corruption and decay seen in Mexico are largely because all Mexican government officials could be bribed so easily – even the police and the judges.
Yesterday a group of Mexicans crossed the international border into the United States, then began using deadly force (stoning by a group of people is clearly deadly force) against an American Border Patrol bicycle agent. To defend himself he was required to also use deadly force. He drew his .40 caliber gun (probably a Glock) and killed one of the Mexicans.
Not long afterward the Mexican police showed up. While the Americans were attempting to investigate what had happened on their side of the border, the gun toting Mexican authorities kept pointing their weapons at the American agents. The Americans were forced to leave the scene. Video shot at the scene shows the Mexican agents then crossing over to the American side of the border and picking up something. The Mexicans later claimed that they had found a .40 caliber shell casing on the Mexican side of the border.
This situation is only destined to get worse. And it all is because for years the American Government openly ignored all the Mexican people who were crossing into America illegally. This intentional disregard for the rule-of-law by the American authorities assured the supply of slave-wage maids and day laborers, as well as chili pickers who were not protected by OSHA or anyone else in the U.S. Government. The Mexicans got used to being able to walk all over the American authorities. Now they are getting quite upset that we have actually begun enforcing existing laws.

UPDATE: The Mexican boy throwing the rocks was a know smuggler of people. It also appears possible that he was standing on the Mexcian side of the line and that the American Border Patrol agent was on the American side when he fired the fatal shots.
