1. I am not "backing" an illegal alien. Technically he
wasn't an illegal since he was on Mexico's turf, not ours. He was a perfectly legit Mexican citizen (as far as immigration status is concerned) in his own territory.
2. Border Patrol has no business shooting across the border. This isn't a fucking game.
3. There are consequences for stuff like this. You want Mexican's to stop attacking the BP, fix the problem instead of hating on Mexicans. They are doing what they need to do to survive, the same as anyone else in that position would do. If I was starving and had no prospect for the future, you bet your ass I'd be crossing that border. BP is nothing more than a bureaucratic obstacle when your life is at stake.
Either get the BP out of there and put someone in that can secure the border 100% with a shoot-to-kill policy, up front and known to everyone, or
fix Mexico so this shit becomes a non-issue. BP is clearly out of their league at this stage. Mexico will not "fix" themselves. The only way this works is if we work together or go fully militant against Mexico.
Supporting the actual men & women doing the job is good, and I do. But it is also completely irrelevant to the bigger picture.
