We are being invaded

From FOX News:

BISBEE, Ariz. — An unidentified Mexican man has been shot and killed by a Border Patrol agent in the United States just over the frontier near Naco, authorities said Sunday.

The Cochise County Sheriffs Office and the Border Patrol's Sector headquarters said the shooting took place Friday. Lt. Commander Mark Dannels of the Sheriffs Office said the confrontation began as a rock-throwing incident.

Good, one less criminal for the US to deal with. See folks, this is why you don't throw rocks at people that have guns on their hips

Oh, wait... It gets sooo much better... The Mexican Government is bitching and moaning about the whole thing...
In Mexico, the Foreign Relations Department condemned the shooting on Saturday, which it said was about 550 yards north of the Mexico border.

"The department expresses its profound concern over this kind of disproportionate violence that results in the loss of human lives," the department said in a news release. "Above all, when force is used against people who do not represent a threat to United States authorities."
Ok, first of all I'm not really sure that I give a flying unicorns ass about the loss of life of a person that was stupid enough to throw rocks at an armed officer... And I'm not really sure that I give a damn what the Mexican Government thinks about law enforcement actions that take place inside the borders of this country.

The fact of the matter is, we had a foreign national cross our borders with the intent of committing a crime. (and to probably defraud the US government too) During his criminal act of invading this country, he became violent and attacked a lawful officer tasked with protecting the sovereignty of this country. Said officer then used deadly force to prevent the invasion of this country by a violent foreign national... sounds to me like the officer should get a medal and a pay raise... perhaps a spot training other officers how to shoot so well...
