Death of a border Agent

Here's the raw story of a brutal death that could have been prevented.

In a recreational area near Andrade, California, where people go to ride dune buggies, a brown Hummer suddenly roared into the campground, jeopardizing the lives of men, women, and children.

As the L.A. Times put it: "The man at the wheel, a suspected drug smuggler, was heading to Mexico, fast."

Border Agent Luis Aguilar, quick and brave, grabbed a spike strip and threw it in front of the Hummer.

The driver sped up and went after Aguilar. As one witness put it, "It looked like the man swerved and hit the agent intentionally."

And why not? According to regulations, Border Patrol agents aren't allowed to PURSUE illegal aliens.

And if agents use their guns, a U.S. Attorney will make certain they end up serving an 11 or 12-year sentence.

Of course, if our elected officials had actually allowed the construction of that fence... if they were really serious about securing the border, there would be no way to tell if it would have made a difference in the specific case of Aguilar.

But make no mistake, our elected leaders' lack of resolve when it comes to securing the border sends an unmistakable message to illegal aliens and drug smugglers.

Until our elected leaders get serious, law enforcement agents and innocent Americans WILL DIE NEEDLESSLY!How many of our law enforcement agents will have to die or be falsely accused of crimes before our elected leaders get the message?

Tell them that their recent move to gut the Secure Fence Act DID NOT go unnoticed. Tell them that Congressman Duncan Hunter has reintroduced his bill mandating the building of the fence -- over 700 miles of it. Remind them that you are watching what they do, or don't do and demand that they push to build that fence NOW.
