i am not sure how i feel about all this.
on 1 hand i feel sorry for the poor people that are trying to better their lives and come here to work.
but i have heard about all the crimminals that come here,commit crimes,then run back to mex. to avoid paying for it,and yet this jerk off fox does not seem too concerned about that.
fox wants all kinds of invest. about this unfortunate killing by the border patrol,yet he does absolutely nothing to stem the illegal crossings,the human and drug trade,the firing on our agents from their side of the border.
and to add hypocracy to hypocracy,mexico is absolutely viscous on how they treat illegals crossing their southern border.
i think the only solution at this point is to completely close the border from the pacific to the gulf,allow ONLY legal crossings at the border crossing points.
you know,actually enforce the laws of the nation.
there is entirely too much violense(and it is escalating)and too much illegal trafficking down there,if i lived down near the border i would be terrified of being robbed or killed,and knowing the liklihood of those being responsible punished,almost nill.
it sucks for the honest hard working peasant that is trying to come here,but the only people profitting on the illegals are:v fox,the coyotes,the drug cartels,the crimminals and of coarse greedy american biz's that pay the actual workers shit wage and no benefits.
they have to seal it down and only alow people to come here legally or it is going to spiral out of control,sooner then later i'm afraid

MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - U.S. Border Patrol agents have come under fire twice along the Rio Grande in Texas in recent days amid rising tension on the frontier with Mexico, although no one was reported wounded, U.S. authorities said on Thursday.
A Border Patrol spokesman said unknown gunmen fired on agents on patrol in Brownsville, Texas, late on Wednesday. It was not immediately clear if the shots came from Mexico or from within the United States.
"Shots were fired, no one was injured and the FBI have taken the case over," Jose Rodriguez, a spokesman for the Border Patrol in McAllen, Texas, said by telephone.
Rodriguez said the shooting was the second along the same stretch of the Rio Grande in the past week, after agents patrolling the area in a launch on Friday came under a volley of gunfire from Mexico.
"On that occasion the shooters were hiding in brush on the Mexican side of the river ... The launch was struck by five bullets, although there were no injuries," he said.
That incident came on the same day a Border Patrol agent fatally shot a teenage Mexican immigrant as he crossed the border near San Diego on December 30, triggering widespread anger in Mexico and calls for a full investigation.
Speaking to Mexican diplomats late on Wednesday, President Vicente Fox reiterated calls by the Mexican government for clarification of the killing, and pledged to "ensure that total justice is done in the case."
The 2,000-mile (3,200-km) U.S.-Mexico border has always been dangerous, although violent attacks on Border Patrol agents have risen in recent months, especially in Arizona, where around half the 1.2 million undocumented immigrants nabbed crossing from Mexico were detained last year.
The Tucson sector Border Patrol said attacks on agents havroe almost doubled in recent months, and included cases in which officers have been shot at, rammed with cars and pelted with rocks by immigrants and smugglers.
