From the LVRJ: U.S. Border Patrol agents were pelted with rocks and bottles while turning back a crowd of more than 100 people who crossed the border illegally into California, authorities said.
Agents were struck in the arms and legs, and one was hit in the head with a filled water bottle but no shots were fired and nobody was seriously hurt in Sunday’s confrontation that ended with the group retreating into Mexico, according to a Border Patrol statement.
“While attacks on Border Patrol agents are not uncommon, the agents showed great restraint when faced with the dangers of this unusually large group,” Paul Beeson, San Diego sector chief for the Border Patrol, said in the statement.
Such large-scale confrontations have rarely been seen since the 1990s, when crowds of people would storm checkpoints or gather in groups for nighttime dashes.
The tide turned when the government launched “Operation Gatekeeper” in 1994 that brought 1,000 additional agents to San Diego, and later built an 18-foot-high, 14-mile fence.
In the latest confrontation, people crossed the border west of the San Ysidro Port of Entry and got about an eighth of a mile north when a Border Patrol agent ordered the group to stop.
The agent fired pepperballs when the crowd kept coming, the Border Patrol said, and as the people grew unruly other agents arrived and used so-called “intermediate use-of-force devices,” such as pepperball launchers, to drive the crowd back across the Tijuana River. http://www.reviewjournal.com/news/rocks-bottles-strike-us-border-agents-during-crowd-scuffle
I'm sorry, but when people say that illegals are not criminals, this just reinforces my point is that all illegal aliens are criminals and many of them are just plain old thugs who have no business in the United States.
When the thugs starting throwing things at the agents, the agents should have hit back and hit back hard- tasers, batons and all of them should have been arrested and thrown in jail for assaulting a police officer. they should have spent time in jail and then prison and then deported to the country they came from and then put on a list of undesirable who will never be allowed into the U.S. ever.
