Share A Border Patrol agent trying to stop a vehicle that had illegally entered the U.S. was struck and killed Saturday in southeastern California, agency officials said.
The agent was killed about 20 miles west of Yuma in the Imperial Sand Dunes Recreation Area, a spot along the border that is popular with off-road vehicle enthusiasts and frequently used by smugglers.

The agent attempted to impede the vehicle's progress before he was hit, but the Border Patrol did not immediately have more information, said agent Eric Anderson, a spokesman for the agency's Yuma sector.
The name of the agent killed was not immediately released because his family had not been notified.
Witnesses told the Yuma Sun newspaper that agents were chasing a Hummer and a Ford pickup on Interstate 8 when the vehicles turned into the dunes and fled toward Mexico. The agent was trying to place spike strips in their path and was struck by the Hummer, they said.
"Mexican authorities are using every means at their disposal to arrest the people responsible" for the slaying, said a statement released Saturday night by Mexico's Foreign Relations department.

Mexican authorities probably are those guys. If they are not then they are looking for them so they can collect mordida for not arresting them.0 -
They are "using all means possible to find and arrest the persons responsible" just like O J is "looking for the killer"... 0 -

I still say we should just open season on em. Maybe if they
just started finding several of them laying around, executed, word would
get around and they'd start heading out.[:)]0 -
Well he died for nothing.
Even if he saw a truck barreling at him doing 100mph.....by Presidential decree the BORDER AGENT would have been charged with murder if he shot the driver.
It makes me sick. I would never work for the Border Patrol. Atleast the US Army lets you shoot someone trying to kill you....most of the time.0 -

BINGO !! this hasnt been reported very much but it is well known that mexican drug lords are the secret owners of alot of america land that straddles the border. they install a white america who claims to be the land owner while they secretly build tunnels to transport their drugs and stinky illegal human cargo.
What does the America government do about it ? Well the republican front runner John Mcain says "let them all in and give them citizenship"0 -

Their's not going to be any "WALL".Because it will need to be torn right back down, after the election. So the entire AMERICAN CONTINENT CAN BE MADE ONE COUNTRY!!![:(!][:(!] 0 -
The Dem canidates will tear the fence down and McShame will give the country to them. [xx(][V][:(][:(!] 0 -
I just cant believe that Mcain is actually winning some primaries. This is very concerning to me and all Americans who are hopeful that the illegal invasion will end and America will regain its soveirgnty.
If Mcain is president you will lose your guns and an illegal will take your job.0 -
That happened about 100 miles east of here ... and ... nobody cares.
Sad.0
