Immigrant drowns in border incident

EL PASO, Texas (AP) - A would-be immigrant from Mexico is dead in a border incident in El Paso, Texas.

It started shortly after noon yesterday when a border camera spotted three men coming through a hole in a fence. When Border Patrol agents arrived, 1 of the men fell into a canal and was quickly dragged under by the fast-moving water.

1 of the agents who tried to save the man was startled when 1 of the other men, believed to be the smuggler, started throwing rocks at him. One rock caught the agent in the head, opening up a three-inch gash.

When the agent opened fire, the two men fled back into Mexico.

The man who was swept away drowned. His body was recovered from the canal 4.5 miles from where he fell in.

They are NOT IMMIGRANTS!!! Isn't that just perfect. The agent tries to save the idiot and his friends throw rocks. I just love their value system.
