    The Mexican government has issued a statement calling out the recent actions taken by a U.S. Border Patrol Agent who shot an illegal alien in self-defense during a brutal attack.

    Breitbart Texas broke the news on Friday morning that a Border Patrol agent from the Yuma Sector in Arizona had been forced to shoot one illegal alien after having to fight for his life while attempting to apprehend a group of three illegals immigrants. The now deceased illegal alien had managed to steal the agents baton and beat him various times during the struggle. The alien also tried to take the agents weapon. The shooting ended up being a measure of self-defense where the agent required medical care for various injuries from the attack, the information published by Breitbart Texas revealed. The illegal alien was also transported to the hospital where he was pronounced dead.

    Border Patrol officials acknowledged the attack and shooting later that day. “During the arrest, the subject grabbed the agent’s radio and collapsible steel baton and began striking him in the face and head while he also attempted to remove the Agent’s sidearm from its holster,” officials said in a statement obtained by Breitbart Texas. “The agent, fearing for his life, discharged his weapon, which struck the suspect.”

    The Border Patrol agent’s injuries included multiple bruises and lacerations to his head, face and torso, one of which required stitches to close the wound. He was also diagnosed with a concussion, officials revealed.

    Despite the brutality of the attack that the agent suffered, the Mexican government has called out the actions of the agent in their latest statement.

    “Mexico has stated in a reiterated fashion that the use of lethal force in migratory control and border security actions must be as a last resort, in addition to being proportional to the circumstances of each case, the statement from Mexico’s Foreign Relations Secretariat (SRE) revealed.

    In response to the shooting, the Mexican government is asking for a “transparent, impartial and expedited investigation.” The statement from the SRE makes no mention of the attack that the illegal alien carried against the U.S. Border Patrol agents that led to the shooting.

    “Our country reaffirm our commitment to continue pushing concerted actions to reduce, prevent and investigate issues of this nature,” the SRE statement revealed. “Therefore we will continue offering assistance and consular protection to the Mexicans in the United States regardless of their migratory conditions.

    Sounds like the agent would be dead if he didn't use lethal force.

    You control your borders however you see fit, and we'll control ours however we see fit. You don't tell us when or when not to use lethal force in "migratory control". This is the United States and we decide when we use lethal force in migratory control and when we don't. This is our country not yours. If your citizens don't want to get killed trying to enter the United States, then tell them to stay the hell at home in Mexico. Americans are so fed with you and your mess, there are many of US ready to demand shoot 'em on sight as soon as they step foot over the border. You may think we're nice little "welcoming" idiots up here, but you are dead wrong. You have no fvcking idea how mean and ruthless we can be when we're pissed off.

    And we're pissed off.
