Border Agent Killed by Mexican Drug Smugglers (undocumented immigrants)

Today was to be a day to talk about the tragedy known as the US economy but the death of a Border Patrol Agent in Arizona. As the primaries have become more intense and the effects of Reaganomics way heavy on US citizens, the illegal immigration problem has been put on a back burner. Similar to any truly serious problem you can forget it but it finds a way back into the forefront of discussion.

Saturday, a Border Patrol Agent, Luis Aguilar was killed while trying to stop suspected Mexican Drug Smugglers (better known as undocumented workers) on an Arizona road. The Agent was hit by two Hummers. He was placing spike strips in the road to inhibit their escape. The undocumented workers did not stop to offer assistance. The undocumented aliens did not try to miss the officer. They ran him down in cold blood.

This raises the question as to why the agent did not use deadly force. Perhaps the arrest and conviction of the two Border Patrol Agents currently serving 10 year sentences has something to do with it. The head of Homeland Security Michael Chertoff is “outraged at this tragic loss.” He went on to specify, “"I have spoken to the Mexican ambassador, who gives me both his condolences and deep assurance that their government will be resolute in tracking down the perpetrators and bringing them to swift justice."

Yah..., right. I have some swampland in Florida I will sell you at a cheap price.

Shame on you Mr. Chertoff! Shame on you Mr. Bush! Your desire to gain support of the hispanic voters in the US is not worth the life of a US citizens. Get off your buttes and release our two agents you are keeping in prison. Let our Border Patrol Personnel know that they can do their job and protect the country they love!
