Mexican teen killed at US border crossing

A 15 year old boy was killed by a Border Patrol officer. US Customs was arresting illegals trying to cross into El Paso and locals on the Mexican side were throwing rocks at them. Kinda dumb, dontcha think? You are sitting there, hanging out by the dried-up Rio Grande, and decide to throw rocks at guys with guns? Of course, on the Mexican side, everybody is blaming the big, bad USA. I guess we are supposed to just let them wander in at their leisure. I'll bet at least half of Mexico is actually run by drug cartels and gangs. They have had corruption for decades. The family of this kid is making out like he is a perfect angel and never gets in trouble but what was he doing there? Now, he may have been in the wrong place at the wrong time, but after the news I've seen about the El Paso border area, there is no way I would be hanging around there. The Mexican government is bitching about the amount of force the Border Patrol uses and is turning a molehill into a mountain when compared to the impact of years of illegals sneaking into the US. Illegal aliens are the reason we have to press 1 any time we call a business. They dilute pay scales. Framing contractors who were charging anywhere from $4 to $8 per square foot are competing with illegals doing the work for $2 per square foot. Hospitals and medical clinics are being crushed by indigent care costs and US citizens who need the care can't get it because illegal aliens are using up the budget. I don't have a problem with immigrants. This country was created by immigrants. The illegal aliens just need to go through proper channels to get here.
