Confrontation at San Ysidro

I don't know whether they wanted to come into the United States or were just fed up with the slow border crossing.


A group of 100 Mexican nationals illegally crossed into the United States and attacked U.S. Border Patrol Agents with rocks and bottles, according to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Agency (CBP).
The violent group was allowed to run back into Mexico and were permitted to disperse by Mexican authorities without being arrested or otherwise suffering any consequences for their brutal attacks on U.S. law enforcement.
The attack occurred in southern California on November 24, 2013. According to the official CBP press release:
… more than 100 people illegally crossed the International Border from Mexico one-quarter-mile west of the San Ysidro Port of Entry in the Tijuana River channel. The group advanced toward a Border Patrol agent positioned one-eighth of a mile north of the border. The agent ordered the group to stop. The group ignored his commands and continued to advance. The agent deployed his PepperBall Launcher System, an intermediate use-of-force device, in an effort to stop the group and protect himself. The crowd failed to respond appropriately...
Numerous agents responded to the scene as the crowd became increasingly unruly and began throwing rocks and bottles. The crowd struck several agents in the arms and legs with rocks; one agent was hit in the head with a filled water bottle. Agents deployed several intermediate use-of-force devices and Mexican law enforcement authorities were contacted. The use of intermediate use-of-force devices eventually caused the group to return to Mexico and disperse.
The CBP also stated: “No one was arrested and no one was able to continue north.”
This large-scale incursion and attack on U.S. soil thankfully occurred in an area where a large number of Border Patrol agents were available for back up. A recent effort by open-borders groups to prevent Border Patrol agents from defending themselves in such circumstances failed. They argued that Border Patrol agents should not be allowed to respond with deadly force to being attacked with improvised weapons like rocks and bottles, even if the Border patrol agent was alone and outnumbered in a desolate area where their radios often do not work.

looks to me they are doing a super job of sealing the border at ponits where you and i cross. but the remote areas remain as porous as ever. there has to be a better way.

Don't you think just maybee , They should work on the Cause instead of The Condition..

...good they weren't part of the insurgent group,,,
........or the BP's would be complaining 'bout golf-shot's to their tender parts!

.......interesting speculation by one of the commenters.............Michael Coburn · Works at SELF
''Im a american living in México saw the crowd building and people passing out money. This was a diversión to occupy border patrol while something else went across.''
.......seems political,,though they'd probably make a stronger 'statement' if they tried it with 50,000 though.

....and whut's with those who brought kids along?....or the guy on crutches???...what -really- were they thinking?????

I'm sure they would, but maybe not in Rio.
Traditionally, Mexico doesn't do too well in team sports. They're more of a nation of individuals, although their futbol/soccer teams have excelled in the past, in spite of their famed goalie [what was his name...Jorge Campos or something like that] designing and wearing his own uniform. Freakin' egomaniac was even allowed to get away with it.

operating drones is expensive. On the other hand the US has tens of thousands air dispensed mines that have to be disposed of and what better place then the DMZ you spoke of. Even if they were inert would anyone want to cross a posted mine field. Signs are cheap but of course they need to be in Spanish.

I think they made this cartoon to show how the Feds are helping Arizona enforce their border and direct illegals to cross there.

They do that when they take a break from producing funny books showing people how to most effectively break into the US, avoid apprehension, and how to act if caught.
