Dem border lawmakers: Violent incidents will come with enforcement

Several Democratic lawmakers representing districts along the U.S.-Mexico border say that more violent episodes, such as the recent killing of a Mexican teenager by a U.S. Border Patrol officer, can be expected as the region’s law enforcement is heightened.

The killing of the teenager in the Mexico border city of Ciudad Juarez last week comes on the heels of an incident on May 31 at a San Diego border crossing, in which a U.S. Customs and Border Protection officer shocked a Mexican man to death.


The two deaths are being investigated by the FBI and have caused an uproar of outrage from the Mexican government, which says the U.S. officials used levels of force that exceeded what the situation warranted.

The House Homeland Security Committee’s Subcommittee on Border, Maritime, and Global Counterterrorism Chairman Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-Texas) is awaiting the results of the FBI’s probe and told The Hill that the subcommittee may launch oversight hearings depending on the results.

U.S. law enforcement presence along the border shouldn’t be deterred by the incident, Cuellar said, adding that more violence could be expected as the 1,200 National Guard troops that President Barack Obama ordered to the border two weeks ago begin to descend on the region.

“Certainly as you have more presence of Border Patrol and other federal officials on the border you’re going to probably run into more types of incidents like that,â€

Rep. Raul Grijalva (D-Ariz.), whose district also runs along the U.S.-Mexico border, agreed with Cuellar that more violence could occur in the near future, adding that tensions between the two countries are going to continue to escalate until Congress passes some form of comprehensive immigration legislation.

So according to Rep. Raul Grijalva (D-Ariz.), the only way to appease mexico and their violent thugs is to give them amnesty!

This traitor is out of his mind. I cannot believe we have people like this representing the American people. It's obvious that illegal invaders are voting in our elections and Rep. Raul Grijalva (D-Ariz.) is the proof!

“The fact is that the enforcement part has been done to the hilt and then Obama’s latest announcement added to that.

Enforcement has been done to the hilt???? Tell that to the sheriff in Pima Co, AZ that says he's essentially lost control of the area to drug cartels.

And Grijalva believes by passing so-called comprehensive immigration reform that will solve the tension at the border? What a bunch of baloney!

Screw you Raul. americans demand the border be secured and illegals made to leave this country. you work for us, not for mexico

The traiterous, racist hispanic lawmakers mentioned in this article are right. In order for the violence to stop, and the tensions to drop, someone has got to give in. And that someone should NOT be the United States. We have already given Mexico so much. We employ about 20% of their workers; they have become dependent on remittances from the US. We have given them money and equipment for their war against the cartels. We have also given MILLIONS of their nationals legal citizenship in the US every year.

We have bent. If we bend anymore, we will break. All Mexico has done is take. They need to step up and attempt to solve the problem. They need to secure their half of the border. They need to stop staging groups from crossing the border. They need to weed out corruption. They need to focus on creating jobs in Mexico. They need to focus on fixing their economy. They need to lead by example and treat migrants humanely. Then, and only then, will their population actually want to live there.

The Associated Press reported that Mexican authorities found a bullet shell casing near the boy’s body, which was shot at close range according to an autopsy report. It suggests that the U.S. official may have been on the Mexican side of the border when he fired his weapon — a move, which if true, would violate the two countries' border protection rules.

Apparently the associated press did not view the video from univision that clearly shows the agent never crossed the border and he shot the dumb Mexica kid from the US side. Any shellsupposively found by the body was a plant by Mexican authorities in their attempt to make this look like the agent cross the border and killed him point blank. The coroners report saying he was shot at close range is full of crap and leads people to believe it was point blank. Close range can mean anything such as 5 feet-15 feet-25 feet, ect. Its all relative to what you want to try and lead the public to believe.

Look at the video and you see what actually happened. Univision has an unedited 10 plus minute video of the entire incident from start to finish.

What they're actually saying here is that there will be more rock throwing attacks on border patrol agents.

Are these men making threats against law enforcement? Are they telling us to back off?
Congress will soon be signing over the U.S. to Mexico in the face of this fierce intimidation......

Don't give up the fight. Remember the Alamo. We have just begun to fight! Send these spineless 'lawmakers' to the unemployment line !

Oh, so the illegal alien, vote seeking dems think that not enforcing laws will make the violent incidents magically go away...

Why don't we just keep on with the status quo of babying illegal alien criminals and turning our heads the other way and just let the criminals have free run so that crime levels can keep building and building...

Of course violent incidents will increase at first when you crack down on criminals who have been used to getting away with so much for so long.

The downright stupid, ignorant and cowardly, dems, liberals, and obl's better wake up before these the people who commit these violent acts are in their own back yards.

Oh, so the illegal alien, vote seeking dems

Meant to say illegal alien loving...
