Agent Remembered
But Let's Not Forget Who Is Responsible
San Diego Union-Tribune-- July 31
Thousands honor slain border agent
El Centro -- Not far from an isolated and increasingly dangerous stretch of the U.S.-Mexico border where he lost his life, Border Patrol Agent Robert Rosas was mourned yesterday by thousands who gathered in this desert city to honor one of their own. [...]
"What he did was confront a situation where uncertainty and doubt abound," Border Patrol Chief David Aguilar said.
Rosas, 30, a three-year member of the force, was patrolling alone in the Campo area after 9 p.m. July 23 when someone opened fire near the border fence. Rosas became the first Border Patrol agent killed by gunfire since 1998, according to a Web site that tracks law enforcement deaths.
American Patrol Report comment: There is "uncertainty and doubt" along the U.S./Mexico border because that's the way Aguilar likes it. Aguilar rose through the ranks at the feet of Doris Meissner, former head of the INS who is now fighting to open the border completely. |
