I hope he filled out the right paperwork!

Found this over at FOX News:

EL PASO, Texas — A Border Patrol agent shot and killed a suspected smuggler at a fence that separates the U.S. and Mexico after the agent felt threatened by the man, authorities said Thursday....Jose Alejandro Ortiz Castillo, a 23-year-old man who had been caught crossing the border 28 times since 1999, died in Mexico shortly after the Wednesday night shooting, Border Patrol spokesman Doug Mosier said.

Well, if you ask a certain pair of former BP agents, this agent better fill out the right forms, or he could wind up in prison.

Now, it's one thing for criminals like Ortiz to disrespect our laws, our borders, and our soverignty. But listen to the response from the Mexican government:

Mexico criticized what it described as an "excessive use of force" against immigrants and demanded an investigation...The Mexican government demanded in a statement that "all the weight of the law be brought to bear against the person or persons responsible."

"The Mexican government expresses a firm protest against the use of lethal weapons in the face of situations that do not represent a proportionate risk," the Foreign Relations Department said.

Hey Mexico, how about you keep your criminals in your own country? Why should we have to put up with the constant flood of illegals into this country? Especially when so many of them are violent criminals?

An unidentified agent spotted Ortiz apparently leading two men and a woman through a hole in the border fence just east of downtown El Paso. Ortiz, who was carrying bolt cutters, picked up a rock as the agent was arresting the woman, Mosier said.

Mosier said the agent felt threatened by the actions of the assailant who was holding a rock and bolt cutters."

And

Ortiz had been deported from the U.S. in 2004, Mosier said.

Of course, in the eyes of the Mexican government, the Border Patrol agent should have just let Ortiz bash him over the head. I mean, what was he thinking, defending himself against a guy that has been shipped back to Mexico 28 TIMES!!! Hey Mexico, guess what? WE DON'T WANT HIM!!! You take, him, keep him, do something about him.

It's bad enough that we have two border patrol agents in prison because they didn't fill out the proper forms in triplicate. But for crying out loud, it's getting so bad that if a caravan of Al-Qaeda vehicles was rolling across our border, our guys can't so much as threaten to f*rt in their general direction without facing some kind of discipline.
