  The agent fired at least one shot after some of the immigrants began throwing rocks at him, narrowly missing the agent's head, Mosier said.

  It SHOULD be his job to stop them by whatever means possible. Immigrants my a$$ (liberal press). They're illegal aliens throwing rocks at him no less. Give him a medal! Hire more like him and secure the borders!

  Obviously word has gotten around that our border agents are being slapped-down for using force to protect our borders.

  Now they can force their way into this country illegally by throwing rocks?

  What's next, slip-and-fall lawsuits if they get hurt climbing a border fence?

  These are not "would-be immigrants" as the author describes them. They are criminals in violation of federal law as soon as they enter this country in an improper way. That's why they are arrested and deported when they are caught.

  I heard Bush parse his border policy yesterday. Something like, "we want to let in the folks who do jobs Americans don't want, but keep out the terrorists." No doubt the corporatist press will continue to spread his advocacy of cheap illegal labor - "catapult the propaganda," as Bush puts it. But where in Bushworld is the line where violent acts by illegals become terrorism?

  America needs to put the word out to the Mexicans that they will stop all illegals by any means necessary, that way they've issued that warning and any illegal trying to get in would do so at their own risk. I'm not advocating needless murders, but they're breaking the law and 'attacking' a US citizen, what should be done?!

  We should have started shooting them all years ago, then we wouldn't be having these problems. We are stupidly allowing the takeover of our own country.

  Excuse me......These people are attempting to enter the US illegally. In this instance the border guard was attacked and he fired in the air to attempt to stop the attack. Case closed! Border guard should be commended for firing in the air and not at the illegal alien. However, once you yell halt to these IA's if the fail to do so, fire one over their bow. If they still don't halt fire away. We need to stop this influx of IA's and our government doesn't seem to have the gonads to do it.

  For you border patrol officers, Go out on strike.

  Something realy does stink when you consider the way the Attorney General office went after the two border patrol officers. On top of it all, covicted based upon the testimony of an illegal drug smuggler. Now thats sick within our society. Is the AG office in cohoots with the Mexican drug cartel?

  Even elected representatives are being stonewalled by the justice department at every turn. Now if that dosen't smell like a dead shark, then I'm at a loss for words.

  Meanwhile they transfer one of the Border patrol officer and he is attacked by, yeah you got it, Mexicans.

  Attorney General Gonzales needs his bank records examined for any funny deposits.
