Watching the replay of the OReilly Factor this morning and saw this news bit about Mexico Building a southern border fence , Looked around online and can't find it anywhere on a Major news site.
But DBKP (Death by 1000 Papercuts)Has a good piece on it , The Hypocrisy of the whole thing is just Mind-Numbing .
We already Know that Mexico treats Immigrants coming into there country as Lower life forms , they are beaten raped and even killed , Hell they sell the Women Even the young girls in to sex slavery !
But no one is saying anything !
I guess it is O.K. for Mexico to Build a Border fence to Keep the Unwanted out and Violate the Human rights of them while they Do it !
But we can't simply build a Fence to help stop the Flow !

US-Mexico tensions heightened after US Border Patrol agent kills Mexican teen near El Paso
See what happens when you throw rocks !
especially when you throw them at a Federal Border Patrol agent !
But of course it was not the rock throwers fault .
Foxnews
CIUDAD JUAREZ, Mexico (AP) — Mexicans are seething over the second death of a countryman at the hands of U.S. Border Patrol agents in two weeks, an incident near downtown El Paso that is threatening to escalate tensions over migrant issues.
U.S. authorities said Tuesday a Border Patrol agent was defending himself and colleagues when he fatally shot the 15-year-old as officers came under a barrage of big stones while trying to detain illegal immigrants on the U.S. side of the Rio Grande.
About 30 relatives and friends gathered late Tuesday to mourn Sergio Adrian Hernandez Huereka, whose shooting Monday evening came along the border with Texas. He died on the Mexican side of the river.
"Damn them! Damn them!" sobbed Rosario Hernandez, sister of the dead teenager, at a wake in the family's two-room adobe house on the outskirts of Ciudad Juarez.
Preliminary reports on the incident indicated that U.S. officers on bicycle patrol "were assaulted with rocks by an unknown number of people," Border Patrol Special Operations Supervisor Ramiro Cordero said Tuesday.
"During the assault at least one agent discharged his firearm," he said. "The agent is currently on administrative leave. A thorough, multi-agency investigation is currently ongoing."

US-Mexico border isn't so dangerous
Whoever did this study needs to live down by the border for a couple years , say maybe in El Paso , directly across from Jaurez !
El Paso Times
MEXICO CITY-It's one of the safest parts of America, and it's getting safer.
It's the U.S.-Mexico border, and even as politicians say more federal troops are needed to fight rising violence, government data obtained by The Associated Press show it actually isn't so dangerous after all.
The top four big cities in America with the lowest rates of violent crime are all in border states: San Diego, Phoenix, El Paso and Austin, according to a new FBI report. And an in-house Customs and Border Protection report shows that Border Patrol agents face far less danger than street cops in most U.S. cities.
The Customs and Border Protection study, obtained with a Freedom of Information Act request, shows 3 percent of Border Patrol agents and officers were assaulted last year, mostly when assailants threw rocks at them. That compares with 11 percent of police officers and sheriff's deputies assaulted during the same period, usually with guns or knives.
In addition, violent attacks against agents declined in 2009 along most of the border for the first time in seven years. So far this year assaults are slightly up, but data is incomplete.
"The border is safer now than it's ever been," said U.S. Customs and Border Protection spokesman Lloyd Easterling.
He said one factor is that with fewer jobs available amid the U.S. recession, illegal immigration has dropped. And responding to security concerns after 9-11, the Border Patrol has doubled the number of agents in the region since 2004.
Nonetheless, border lawmakers and governors say their region is under siege and needs more troops.
"Violence in the vicinity of the U.S.-Mexico border continues to increase at an alarming rate. We believe that this violence represents a serious threat to the national security of the United States as well as a serious threat to U.S. citizens that live along the 1,969-mile long border," a dozen bipartisan members of Congress from border states wrote President Obama..

Border Fence Under Renewed Fire After Rancher Killing
A simple solution , Build the Fence anyway !
Then patrol it with more humans , but at least hire ones who are not afraid to use their guns when needed .
And maybe a new Border Patrol Policy to go along with everything here ...When you are assaulted with bullets or rocks be sure to shoot who is doing the assaulting no matter where they stand !

The killing of Arizona rancher Robert Krentz allegedly by an illegal immigrant has some critics pointing out that hundreds of miles of U.S.-Mexico border fencing isn't even high enough to stop a person on foot.
Of the 646 miles of barriers currently constructed along the 2,000-mile southern border of the United States, 300 miles are vehicle barriers, according to the Department of Homeland Security. That means they're meant to keep out cars and trucks, but aren't high enough to keep out people crossing the border illegally on foot.
Fencing in place just south of the Krentz family ranch in southeastern Arizona is exactly that kind of vehicle barrier, plus there's a sizable gap in the fence nearby.
Residents and officials say the security barrier is simply ineffective, and that the killing last month is shining a light on the problem.
Rancher Wendy Glenn, Krentz's longtime friend and neighbor who heard the man's last radio transmission to his brother, said she has roughly 4 miles of border fence along Malpai Ranch. The "wildlife-friendly" barrier -- one that allows large animals and determined people to pass through freely -- ranges from large Normandy-style "X" crosses to standard posts and rails, topping off at no more than six feet high, she said.
"It doesn't keep any people out," Glenn told FoxNews.com on Monday. "We don't want any more fence here. We want more people on the border. No matter what they put in, they're going to tunnel under, cut through, or use ladders. We don't need that."
Glenn characterized the border fence as a "big waste of money" and called for increased federal presence along the remote areas, as well increased communication among law enforcement agencies.

Border-fence protesters plea for unity
If only a hundred or so people made the 60 mile trek ,I would not call it a "stronger Opposition" and what the hell is a "Master Naturalist" ? I think They meant A Hippie ? See pictures at the end of this post!The El Paso times
....
SUNLAND PARK -- The four-day, 60-mile trek by protesters of the fence being built along the U.S.-Mexico border concluded Sunday afternoon with calls for peace, unity and stronger opposition to the border barrier.
"For us, the march has not ended," Carlos Marentes, director of Centro de Trabajadores Agricolas Fronterizos, the Border Farm Workers Center in South El Paso, told more than a hundred people on both sides of the fence. "On the contrary. We have stopped walking but now begins the good stuff. Now begins the work."
The U.S. government is building a fence in the El Paso area that will be nearly 100 miles long along the U.S.-Mexico border, stretching from Columbus, N.M., to Fort Hancock.
These are a couple of pictures I took just this past Sunday , Deer mice , And Coyotes do live in the desert , they have survived hundreds of years ! beyond the city it is desolate ,these are not excuses to stop the fence , however our security in America is a bigger reason to continue with the fence , The drug cartels are getting more violent , And rampant Illegal Immigration continues to put a heavy strain on our resources !
The fence is expected to be completed by the end of the year and will be part of a system of barriers in South Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California used by Border Patrol to help deter illegal immigration and smuggling.
Several organizations participated in the march that began in Fort Hancock on Thursday and drew more support as it continued west during the weekend.
Sal Quintanilla, a master naturalist with the Rio Bosque Wetlands Park, said he decided to join the march on Sunday because he believes the fence will harm wild animals in the area who depend on access to water from the Rio Grande.
"From the deer mouse all the way to the coyotes, all these animals go back between the wetlands and the river and they are just cutting things off with the fence," he said.
El Pasoan Salvador Gomez, the lone protester against the march, said he favors the fence because he believes the unchecked movement of people across the border into the United States presents a dangerous threat to national security.
Border Patrol agents in vehicles and on horses kept watch over the border and scanned the march from a distance.
Not much to look at is it! A burm , fence , canal , fence bigger fence , that is all!

Border fence under way in Lower Valley
Like it or not the fence is going up , It is desperately needed to help control the border problems ! The crime is rampant across the border in Jaurez and else where.
Some people will always say that the fence will do no good ,and though they are allowed their opinion , I don't believe they personally want to be responsible for the safety of other U.S. Citizens ! sure there are ways around and under the fence but we will deal with that !for more proof that a fence/wall works Look at Israel!
....
EL PASO -- Dozens of columns have been erected along the U.S.-Mexico border in El Paso for the preliminary stages in the construction of the controversial border fence.
For about two weeks, construction workers have anchored the columns into the ground, working their way from South Yarbrough Drive to about a mile east, said Supervisory Border Patrol Agent Ramiro Cordero of the El Paso Sector.
By the end of the year, he said, 57 miles of metallic mesh fence from Socorro to the Fabens port of entry should be complete.
The fence, 15 to 18 feet high, will be part of 670 miles of barrier being placed along the border in Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California.
A few miles away, Yolanda Levario can see the evenly spaced co lumns from the front of her Lower Valley home in the 400 block of Arvin.
"I think it's good they're doing it, because of all the violence in Mexico. I'm afraid it (violence) might cross over," Levario said.
"I think it's OK; I don't have a problem with it. I think we'll be safer because we're closer to the border."
Since the beginning of the year, nearly 900 people have been killed in execution- and ambush-style slayings in Juárez.
Even though officials have said they do not believe the violence will spill over, Levario, 53, said she thinks the wall will be an extra preventive measure to keep El Pasoans safe.
But Lorenzo Marquez said the idea of the wall should have never been conceived.
"It looks like it shouldn't be there," he said as

he glared at the poles from J.P. Shawver Park on Monday. The park is near South Yarbrough Drive directly across the César Chávez Memorial Highway.
"I personally don't think it should be done. ... A fence is not going to do anything. There are already a lot of people who are drowning in that canal.
"By now they're saying 'It's dangerous to come across that fence,'" he said.
Marquez, who was with his 1-year-old granddaughter, looked at her and said he worries about what younger people will think about the barrier. He said he believes there are going to be many repercussions for the Hispanic culture.
There have been several national failed attempts to stop the fence from being built, including lawsuits by Defenders of Wildlife, the Sierra Club, El Paso County, the city of El Paso, Ysleta del Sur Pueblo and other agencies.
Several advocacy groups have also held events opposing the barrier.
This week, a group will protest the building of the fence by marching from Fort Hancock to El Paso.
But Cordero, of the El Paso Sector of the Border Patrol, said the fence will help continue to decrease border apprehensions and crime along the border.
He said people should know the fence will only be effective along with other tools such as manpower, sensors, night vision and cameras.
