      On a summer day in 2010, 15-year-old Sergio Hernandez and his friends were playing near their home in Ciudad Juarez Chihuahua, Mexico.

      Ciudad Juarez butts up with El Paso, Texas — where Border Patrol agents patrol the fence line. They're responsible for U.S. side of things.

      Border Patrol agents were apparently mad that Mexican children would have the audacity to play on their side of the fence. Too much freedom?

      It's unclear exactly what happened, but Border Agents, who are adults with guns, claim the children threw rocks at them.

      So what did the Border Patrol do? They shot at the children, killing 15-year-old Sergio Hernández.

      Recap thus far: Border Patrol agents shot and killed a child — in another country! — because that child was supposedly throwing rocks.

          Hernández's family was rightfully outraged. They're not the only ones: Border Patrol agents often shoot and kill Mexican kids in Mexico.

          Border Patrol doesn't only kill children, but also adults, accused of throwing rocks. This happens all the time.

          According to Border Patrol, children throwing rocks is considered an imminent threat that must be met with deadly force. For real.

          A report by a former police commissioner and and DOJ official outlined the Border Patrol's deadly practice:https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/2736697-Frazier-Report-Combined.html …

          The Border Patrol agent that killed Sergio Hernández by shooting him across the border got to keep his job.

          And, because Sergio Hernández was a Mexican in Mexico, and not a U.S. citizen in the U.S., he has no standing in U.S. courts.

          Again, this happens ALL. THE. TIME. Talk to people who live near the border on the Mexican side. The stories are terrifying.

          This November, for the first time ever, a Border Patrol agent faces trial for the 2010 killing of a Mexican. He was indicted last October.

          Border Patrol's been killing children on the Mexican side for *decades* and this was the first indictment. Ever.http://www.npr.org/2015/10/09/446866267/in-a-first-border-agent-indicted-for-killing-mexican-teen-across-fence …

          Now I want you to compare this with what happens on the Canadian border, where there's often no fence to keep white Canadians out.

          The Border Patrol doesn't drive up and down the Canadian/U.S. boundary to taunt children and shoot them dead. Trust me'd hear about it then.

          Just a couple of days ago, a couple of Canadian kids crossed the border... playing Pokémon lol:http://abcnews.go.com/US/teens-inadvertently-walk-us-canada-border-playing-pokemon/story?id=40818363 …

          The story is kinda funny. Two kids are out playing a game and sort of cross the U.S. border without even knowing it.

          And I'd let it go completely, if it wasn't for the fact that it illustrated the clear difference between the borders in the north and south.

          Canadian kids can CROSS INTO THE U.S. and the Border Patrol will call their mom. Mexican kids DON'T EVEN CROSS and murdered for existing.

          You already know that if Mexican kids are playing Pokémon and accidentally cross into the U.S. border they'll automatically be criminalized.

          Skin color can determine the degree to which a child gets to live a childhood. That's too true on the borders—both of them.
