A border patrol agent came under fire from across the Mexican border. The Washington Examiner reports:
Bullets that hit a U.S. Border Patrol agent’s car in California Sunday morning may have been fired from across the border in Mexico, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
“Mexican authorities were contacted as the shooting appeared to originate from the Mexican side of the border. Mexican authorities responded and initially took two subjects into custody, one of them was in possession of a handgun, the other was released,” the CBP said in a Monday statement.
According to CBP, a U.S. Border Patrol agent’s car was hit by the bullet while he was parked at the U.S.-Mexico border in southern California early Sunday morning. The agent had been on duty and inside his Chevy Tahoe truck when driver’s side back seat door was struck with bullets.
The incident happened around 2:15 a.m. PT “immediately north” of the international boundary, about a mile and a half west of the San Ysidro Port of Entry in southern California.
This is pushing border violence to the next level – will Mexican cartels now snipe border patrol agents from the other side of the border?
Helpful info. Fortunate me I discovered your site by chance, and I am stunned why this twist of fate didn’t took place earlier! I bookmarked it.
Interesting blog! Is your theme custom made or did you download it from somewhere? A design like yours with a few simple tweeks would really make my blog stand out. Please let me know where you got your theme. With thanks
It should be perfectly legal to shoot back when attacked regardless of where the attacker happens to be. Some AR-15 & a few 30 cal machine guns would put a stop to that shit.
unfortunately an agent did fire back and we promptly tried him, found him guilty and jailed him. He may still be there. If there is ANY JUSTICE in America this man should be released, paid full salary for the time he was jailed, given a full pardon and tell Mexico to kiss our lovely backsides, one by one…..
IT THE BOLSHEVIKS IN THE NEW MARXIST PARTY DOING ALL OF THIS, THEY ARE PROTECTING ILLEGAL ALIENS (ALL 40 MILLION OF THEM) AND ALLOWING OVER 10,000 ISIS TERRORISTS TO ENTER THIS COUNTRY AND THE NEXT BIG STRIKE WILL BE ALL 50 STATES AT ONCE AND YOU CAN THANK BOTH BUSH’S, CARTER, CLINTON AND THE OBAMINATION THE NOT BLACK HALF BREED SUNNI MUSLIM TRAITOR ANTI AMERICAN ANTI CONSTITUTION ANTI BILL OF RIGHTS EX PRESIDENT WHO ARMED EVERY TERRORIST NATION IN THE WORLD AND GAVE THE WORST TERRORIST COUNTRY $150 BILLION IN CASH IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT AND THEN GOT CAUGHT AGAIN TRYING TO LAUNDER HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS MORE FOR THE IRANIANS !!!!!!!!! YES ITS THE FORMER DEMO-RAT PARTY THAT HAS NOW SHOWN ITS TRUE PATH AND THAT IS TO TURN THIS COUNTRY COMMUNIST, RADICAL SOCIALISM IS JUST THE FIRST STEP AND YOU WILL NOT LIKE THE 3RD WORLD LIVING THAT THEY ARE SPEWING AS FREE EVERYTHING !!!!!!!!!!! VIETNAM VET
U can not expect an officer to protect the people, himself from hoodlums & illegals, terrorist, with taking his weapon & handcuffing his hands behind his back..sorry, let the idiot who made this ruling do this job….just throw his skinny rearend in the middle of these thugs naked and tell him if he tries to defend himself he gets thousand years in jail…pure idiots or America’s enemy!!!
US Military as well as Police SWAT Snipers need live target practice, set them up along the boarder about one to two hundred yards back and offer them and their family a two week vacation in Hawaii for the one who gets the most drug dealers crossing the boarder in a 30 day period. A lot cheaper than a wall and the snipers get great training
Our agents should be able to fire back to defend themselves. However the last time that happened the agent was brought up on murder charges for defending himself from a gang to teens pelting him with rocks and bricks.
Someone making movies needs to dig up the story of the old man in Mexico, former military, that said no to the cartels. He stockpiled personal weapons for his protection since he refused to sell or give his home and land to a drug Cartel. Armed men were sent to hurt the old man and make him move out. He refused and killed the armed men sent to harm him. Others came and a war ensued with almost 40 cartel members being killed but they had numbers and burned the old man’s house with him inside. Although the old man lost his life he understood what freedom was and chose to die free. I saw this in a news story years ago but I believe it to be mostly true. There are law abiding Mexicans that want peace and freedom from the drug cartels. Major problem is that drug Cartels are big money and armed while most of the people are very poor.
It is an undeclared war and invasion. Not by a foreign government. But by hordes of foreign nationals determined to take down America. They are aided and abetted by one world order socialists within the United States.
We have to get rid of the demoncrats in DC before we can build the wall. The purge of them moves forward in Nov! Let’s do it and sacrifice all of them that we can as soon as we can! They are too un-American for my tastes. They are lukewarm Americans and need to be spit out!
ICE You Have the Fire Power! DO NOT GIVE THESE THUGS ONE INCH! DO NOT GIVE THEM ONE SINGLE REASON THAT THEY THINK THEY GOT AWAY WITH IT!! IF YOU DON’T MANY ICE AND BORDER PATROL AGENTS WILL DIE! IT IS YOUR JOB TO STOP THEM AND DON’T LET THE DIRTY LEFT INTIMIDATE YOU! IF IT WAS UP TO THE LEFT THEY WILL SELL YOU OUT TO THE CRIMINALS!! I HAVE WATCHED THEM; THEY ARE COWARDS AND CRIMINALS!! THEY HAVE PROVEN THAT BY ATTEMPTING TO ABOLISH ICE THE ONE LAW AGENCY THAT PROTECT ALL AMERICANS! THEY WANT OPEN BORDERS SO THE CRIMINALS YOU ARE FIGHTING AGAINST WILL INFILTRATE AND TERRORIZE THE AMERICAN CITIZENS! THEY WANT NO BORDERS SO DRUGS COME IN AND RUIN COUNTLESS YOUNG AMERICANS! THAT IS HOW DIRTY THESE LEFTY BASTARDS ARE! THEY ARE FOR THE DESTRUCTION OF THE USA!! THE DANGER IS NOT THE RUSSIANS, NEITHER THE CHINESE, THE DANGER ARE THE DEMOCRATS! OPEN YOUR EYES FOLKS! YOU SEE THIS BEING DEMONSTRATED EVERY DAY BY THE DEMOCRATS!
Is it a new threat or a random act? Dangerous job either way, they certainly deserve our prayers trying to protect our borders.
Time to use the armed military to build the wall
and help patrol the border.
Don’t even let them set one foot on our side illegally.
You got that right…..build the wall with our military with orders to open fire if they are shot at or attacked in any way@
Amen
The national guard could help watch and control border activities but the building labor force could be illegal aliens that are prisoners on a work detail. Prisoners need jobs that involve labor and training to build something.
I’ve proposed building a 10 to 25 mile wide, 24 hour a day, seven days a week, live fire military training reservation along the US/Mexico border from the Gulf of Mexico to the Pacific Ocean at San Diego. And, if Mexico complains, build it on their side. It should be called the General John “Black Jack” Pershing Military Reservation. Why? “In 1916 Pancho Villa and his bandido’s raided the town of Columbus, New Mexico, and in response President Woodrow Wilson sent General John “Black Jack” Pershing into Mexico after him. Back then, American authorities at least did something when the border was violated.”
Woe, I see politics in your future. The General John “Black Jack” Pershing Military Reservation on Mexico’s side of the border could serve as a designated zone for drug dealers. Visiting Mexico would be tricky but if Mexico builds the reservation and uses it to train their military with live ammo and US border agents are authorized to return fire when fired upon the drug dealers will be caught in the middle with digging down their only hope.
Border Patrol should have authority to defend themselves with whatever means necessary
let them fire back
These Border walls need to be solid rebar enforced Concrete 30 feet tall. Never mind these metal fences that they have in the past cut right through. and they need to have a footing that is at least 20 feet deep so they can’t dig their tunnels. So what happened to these great Border Walls?
‘What Happened?” Democrats and RINO’s “Happened”, that’s what.
Sorry but is twenty feet deep enough? There are caves and tunnels deeper. I live in a place that has secrete tunnels from WW2 supposedly hundreds of feet deep. I heard near Nogales, AZ small tunnels miles long are did hundreds of feet deep. You can plant sensors 20 feet deep to detect digging or enlist the fracking industry to drill water disposal wells along the border a few thousand feet deep maybe flooding underground tunnels.
I was going to suggest mines, but flooding and srwning them is much more pleasant when I think about it…
To the President of Mexico, send us your doctors and well educated and we wont complain. The rest keep them especially your gang bangers and drug cartels.
This is not new. Mexican helicopters have fired upon our agents. The helicopters crossed our border and fired upon our agents under the Obama administration.
I have heard this story before that Mexican authorities shot at US border agents. Is part of the border disputed or claimed by both sides? The official name of the country is Estados Unitos Mexicanos is it United Mexican States or United States of Mexico? My awkward suggestion to solve all border problems with Mexico is to claim it as a territory annexing the whole country as a territory under federal oversight.
That’s not really a threat just part of the job. The threat is the democrat party, what they want to do is way worse than a bullet wound.
JUST HAVE ARMED DRONES NALL ALONG THE BORDER AND WHEN FIRED ON START ARMAGEDDON AND BLOW THEM TO HELL AND IT WILL STOP OR A LOT OF THEM WILL DIE !! IF MEXICO CAN’T HANDLE THEIR SIDE OF THE BORDER THEN WE SHOULD TO PROTECT OUR PEOPLE !!!!!! VIETNAM VET
I’M ALSO A VIETNAM VET! I SAY DIG THE RIO GRANDE DEEP AND STOCK IT WITH ALLIGATORS. WE WILL HAVE VERY LARGE ALLIGATORS, AFTER A TIME!
Forget all that wall and the expense. All you need is two razor wire fences about 100 yards apart with landmines between. They will get the message. Put the border patrol in towers with accurate rifles about every 1,000 yards just in case one gets thru.
You could replace the border patrol with drones both flying and stationary.
The hatred and vitriol coming from the Democrats is spilling into Mexico! The Democrats new open border policy is just too big a temptation for the People of Mexico South. Build the Wall and save Americans lives.
We need that wall and start shooting them when they climb the wall but there are so many miles where they can just walk in. Put land mines in those areas because as far as I am concerned we are at war with that shit hole Mexico and further more they allow other illegals cross through their country to help them to come here. Hypocrites because they have very strict immigration laws. Deport all illegals and let them apply and come the right way to our country. Mexico has
made a circus out of this whole immigration debate. so we can pay for them.
……..and maybe post armed guards along the wall at the border in case some people want an added challenge when crossing.
Well if I was trump, mexico would be informed that they better put troops along the river on their side……or maybe the marines would do a better job, go across, set up a line say l000 yards inside and shoot anyone that comes over the line. If mexico does not like it, just tell them they had their chance now we are going to take care of it. Also I would have ICE step up their deportations since we do not need the illegals on our side that might start a war if they copy what mexico is doing.
I wonder if a wall would have prevented that. 25 billion is cheap when just in illegal immigrants we lose 150 billion a year. School, Food stamps, welfare, medicaid, prison space and we do not how much is lost in property
Obama said one Friday late that the cost of illegals was costing the tax payers 330 billion dollars and that was late in 2015
Wow!
Line the borders with machine guns. ENOUGH is Enough. Sick of Mexico drug lords. To democrats , you are the most dangerous and disgusting people in America. You are out to destroy America all for power. Stain on humanity.
just use C130 aircraft its fun to watch
Given a visible target, return fire.
