It is way past time to place the U.S. Army & Marine Reserves & Nat'l Guard units on the border with orders to STOP all illegal influx to protect the safety of our nation. WHATEVER IT TAKES.

No more excuses from our corrupted politicians on this matter.

The Governors along the border states have the right to enact the National Guard units in their states NOW and they should. Someone has to have the BALLS to step up to the plate.

The U.S. Border PAtrol does a great job, but they need assistance and they need support when they have to use DEADLY FORCE.....PERIOD.

Johnny Sutton needs a tour of duty in the war zone to wake him up and make him smell the coffee.

Thank GOD some of the SHERIFF's are standing tall and protecting THEIR men.

The head of the U.S. Border Patrol should do the same.

I am sick and tired of all these ignorant people saying ,dont shoot back at them.What about our Federal Agents they have families also.They are someones father,brother,uncle or even granfather.I applaud the Border Patrol for the fine job they do in keeping our borders safe.Go BP ONE SHOT ONE KILL.

just to educate you a bit...the Berlin Wall was in Berlin, you know..one CITY. This wall is to be built between TWO DIFFERENT COUNTRIES,,,Idiot. it is about time they are allowed to return fire on the criminals that are invading our country. OUTSTANDING JOB BP!!!

IM PROUD OF THE BORDER PATROL AGENTS...THANKS FOR YOUR HARD WORK, DEDICATION, AND FOR BEING IN THE FRONTLINE..... STOP ALL MEXICAN PEOPLE FROM CROSSING DRUGS..... AND YEAH NO DOUBT MEXICANS SHOT FIRST...

First of all I would like to thank all the courageous men and women that make up the US Border Patrol for doing their part in securing our border . Most people do not realize all the dangers that these brave agents encounter day to day. I applaud you for standing up to the smugglers, you have shown them that you will not be intimidated and that you will do whatever it takes to protect the citizens of this great country. TO ALL OF YOU HUMAN and DRUG SMUGGLERS, ENOUGH IS ENOUGH, WE WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO TAKE CONTROL OF THIS COUNTRY AS YOU HAVE DONE IN MEXICO. SHOOT AND YOU WILL GET SHOT!

Lets concern ourselves more for the animals and the beauty of the environment rather than the security of the people. Right? I say do whatever it takes to stop danger and give back our rights to live in a peaceful, non narcotic world.
Educate yourselves more before making an illogical comment.

It seem that you are skeptical as to who shot first? You may be right, but there is a high probability that the first shot came from the drug trafficers.
If shootouts with the Border Patrol continue across the Rio Grande then I would suggest that Border Patrol train Agent to be rifle sharpshooters with Hi-powered rifles and optics and provide them for field use. This will help to engage the enemy at further distance eliminating the chance of a BP agent being shot and increases the odds of hitting the enemy and confirms the kill.
To the drug trafficers, killing a BP agent is a trophy and some trafficers have placed bounties on BP agents.
This is also a sign that they don't respect any USA citizen. The game has changed, it used to be a hide and go seek game with the trafficers, but it has evolved to shootouts now, so we got to shoot back.
Forget about Mexico! The country is full of corruption and like many Mexicans they are waiting to take advantage of our country.
I AM PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN!

Do you all seriously think that a wall will keep out the illegal immagrants? they will find a way. just how they have found a way all these years. all the wall is going to do is ruin the natural habitat of so many animals and the backyards of many poor people that unfortunaly are in the way of this eye sore.

so all of yall want to build a berlin wall in our backyard huh? idiots..

why jump to the idea that the mexicans shot first?

It goes to show you that a BORDER WALL is necesary. People in the valley have to wake up. Enough already!! The valley is plague with SCUM. Does the valley people want more SCUM to live here!?

Things like this are common yet the national media doesn't report on them? If it was American criminals shooting at Mexican border guards all hell would have broken loose with Mexican politicians demanding investigationsa and spewing nationalistic rhetoric as usual.

What do you need to understand...wake up Mr. Bush and build us a fence so we so not get shot at.
