Border Patrol Agent Killed in Yuma, AZ
Posted by Duncan on January 19th, 2008
YUMA, Ariz. — A Border Patrol agent trying to stop a vehicle that had illegally entered the U.S. was struck and killed Saturday in southeastern California, agency officials said.
The agent was killed about 20 miles west of Yuma in the Imperial Sand Dunes Recreation Area, a spot along the border that is popular with off-road vehicle enthusiasts and frequently used by smugglers.
The agent attempted to impede the vehicle’s progress before he was hit, but the Border Patrol did not immediately have more information, said agent Eric Anderson, a spokesman for the agency’s Yuma sector.
How long until we start taking our border security seriously? How many of our nation’s defenders will be killed until we start acting in kind…

We have to wait to see how this is panned out by our government…you know, the boss here who tends to look at it’s employees as the trouble and not the illegal drug smugglers and immigrants who kill, rape and otherwise harm Americans. Border patrol agents are always vetted out before criminals are.
