Mexican Teen Shot at The Border

Boy, this just keeps getting better and better...
So, in order to raise awareness of the potential evil that is going to come from new immigrations laws, the media brings us a story of a Mexican teenager who was shot dead at the US-Mexican border.
The Mexican Foreign Ministry said "Using firearms to respond to an attack with rocks is a disproportionate use of force, particularly coming from officials that are specially trained." WHAT?!?! Read what you write please... "P-a-r-t-i-c-ularly coming from officials that are specially trained." So, were they expecting the Border Patrol agents to retaliate with ROCKS?!?!
A few thoughts... First and foremost, these agents are risking their lives out there. Call it a paid job all you want, but the border between the US and Mexico has got to be a friggin scary place. You couldn't pay me enough to be there and I am sure, neither are many of you out there.
Two - Most of the human trafficking takes place at night. If I am on the border and it's dark and a rock hits me and there are potentially hundreds of undocumented people, who are willfully breaking American law, coming my way... I'm gonna FIRE!!
Third - This kid's mom wants the agent punished! "I want him punished," she said. "He's destroyed my life and left me with nothing." I did feel for the mom when she said this, but parents must get to a point when they are realists over parents. THIS KID, Sergio Hernandez, WAS A KNOWN SMUGGLER!!
Fourth - Because I know someone is bound to say, "how do you know he was a smuggler?". Okay... FINE, he was an alter boy who attended church every Sunday. HE - WAS - COMING - INTO - THE - UNITED STATES - ILLEGALLY!! If you come into my house, and you don't announce who you are and you know you are breaking the law by entering my house without my permission, should I take you out, or should I try talking to you first and then maybe throw a few rocks at you?
Fifth - an unidentified witness... I'm going to go out on a limb here and say he was unidentified because of his legal status, said that they "were not carrying anything. They weren't carrying weapons, packages, backpacks, only the clothes they were wearing, that's it." And the Border Patrol Agent would know this how? If you enter someone's house to rob them, and you only have the clothes you are wearing, on... does that make you any less guilty?
Finally, you can hate our country and me, but I remain firm in my stance that the safety of our agents should not be subordinated in order to preserve face with Felipe Calderon!
