    A veteran Border Patrol Agent in Texas shot and killed an undocumented immigrant who was part of a group engaged in "illegal activity" that "rushed" the officer, the agency said. https://abcn.ws/2IOzIA3 pic.twitter.com/uo6eZPnk0s

        Sad, but they rushed officers. In many states the law allows you to shoot intruders that enter your home. I would never attempt to cross the border breaking into another country knowing it was illegal or that I might get shot. If you want in, do it the right, and legal, way.

        Read the story, they were attempting to cross the border into the U.S. illegally. As a citizen, it takes me hours of security checkpoints, ID verification, etc. just to fly in my country. U want to cross the border, follow rules or risk getting shot. Countries protect borders.

        The level of inhumanity in some of these comments is shocking.I guess that this is what our country has come to represent today. Intolerance, fear of the "other", acceptance of hate mongering, approval of murder when the victim is "not one of 'us'". I thought America was better.

        This is more than racism. It is just an avenue to unleash some vile behaviours that have not been curbed at an early age. The easiest target is the black man. But trust me, they will definitely unleash it on themselves, sooner or later.

        This border patrol officer defending himself from being attacked ISN'T racism. It's self defense. Learn the difference.

        Read elsewhere there was no “rushing” and it’s an illegal shooting with no justification.

        What's the point of having armed guards to protect the border if they aren't going to use their arms to protect the border

        They shot a 20 year-old immigrant woman in the head. Witnesses who saw this murder said that ICE were the aggressors and shot her because she was running away. She was shot in the *BACK* of the head
