#14  The response here may well determine whether or not this crap spills over our side of the border or not.

#13  Rio Rico, a dangerous area; full of smugglers and bandits.

#12  It is now being reported that this was a gun battle between several border patrol agents and the group of illegals 10 miles inland. Therefore the illegals were well armed.

#11  The govt is willing to tie the hands of the Border Patrol, and then appear to wring their hands when this predictable thing happens. Dereliction of duty on all these so called leaders.

They have a good man's blood on their hands.

#10  Bipartisan, as in they are all complicit.

#9  Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, who had planned earlier this week to visit the border on Friday, apparently is moving her trip up a day because of the shooting.

Yeah, she's gotta get busy with the denial and double speak...no time to waste...

Bipartisan political reaction to Terry's killing came swiftly from Capitol Hill.

Did they need a committee and a press conference to emphasize the bipartisanship of their bipartisan reaction?
How about actually doing something meaningful about the problem!?

#8  #7 Safe bet DOJ is looking for ways to punish the dead man's family for conspiracy to make the poor little illegals look bad...

That wouldn't surprise me considering the treatment our CBP guys get when they actually get a chance to shoot back. Consider the circumstances surrounding the two CPB Agents who's sentences were commuted by GW Bush prior to his leaving office.
I think this is just he beginning of this kind of problem.

#6  I wouldn't expect this story to get a whole lot of traction in the MSM, certainly not enough for the kind of general outcry that would lead to anybody's resignation or impeachment. Let's see how much time the likes of Katie Couric and Diane Sawyer give it tonight. I'm afraid they'll be much too busy with Bernie Madoff and the Holiday Shopping.

#5  Four suspects are in custody.

WHY !

#4  Maybe Arizona's reps & senators could introduce a bill moving Congress and the White House to the southern Arizona border.

Seeing as to how it's so safe and all down there....

#2  That also goes for Janet Napolitano.

#1  Demanding the IMMEDIATE resignation of Holder and the IMPEACHMENT of Obama and every Democratic Leader supporting these illegals.
