    As long as the American people allow the Federal Government to dictate to us border protection policies, this will continue to happen. If the American people wise up, take action on their own, and actually unite to patrol the border ourselves instead of allowing the Federal Government to dictate to us what we can,can't, should or shouldn't do to scure our borders, then incidents like these will decline. I believe it is the responsibility of every American citizen to secure our borders to protect the citizens from an invasion not just governments and yes this is an invasion, If governments fail to do their duty to protect our borders from all enemies both foreign and domestic then it is up to the citizens to do the job and do it right the first time.

    My second post is to say that I am a true believer in the need to lock our borders.

    It is vital to preventing other negative interests from encroaching upon our shores and our borders. Unfortunately There is a flaw in that plan. Let's say that the decision to seal the borders is made and acted upon, that means we have to seal all borders, and seal them TO EVERYONE.

    We cant do it half way.

    Either Everyone is kept out or we have to suck i up and deal with it some other way.

    RIP Agent Zapata........my prayers to the family.

    If we had a Teddy Roosevelt..he would be there in a New York City minute; and gun everyone of those sub-human savages down. But obama would say the agent was "just acting stupidly" . "Guess living in poverty made them do it."

    There have been over 200 Americans killed in Mexico.

    Agree we should send every guard available to secure our borders with the biggest guns we have and declare an all act of war against all the ones that are here.

    Since 2006, there has been 35,000 deaths in Mexico as a result of the drug traffic.

    American law enforcement has no business getting involved with Mexico's drug cartels on the Mexican side of the border. There is far and away enough work for them on this side of the Rio Grande.

    My condolences to the family of this man.

    The people of the US need to demand that President Obama order his flunkie he put in the position of Homeland Security Napolitano to get her face out of the office doughnut box and do her damn job or be replaced by someone who IS interested in performing the duties of the job with some semblance of actually wanting to do the job.

    There are too busy and probably using a lot of their resources to monitoring peaceful Tea Party protestors and veterans coming home from the war.

    Thoughts and prayers are with him and his family... shame that we do not feel the urgency to secure our borders, but will offer help to secure Saudi's borders...

    Janet Napolitano offers to help put stop to illegal border crossings — in Saudi Arabia

    ABU DHABI — The United States government, which has difficulty controlling its own borders, has agreed to help Saudi Arabia secure its dangerous border areas near Yemen.

    "It is a very rough border, very difficult to protect from illegal crossings," U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said.

    In late May, Ms. Napolitano met Saudi leaders to discuss a range of security programs, including training, joint exercises, intelligence and arms sales. Officials said both the Americans and Saudis agreed that the Iranian-backed Shi'ite insurgency from Yemen was the leading threat to Riyad.

    I have a nephew who is is a deputy and he works in DEA with a K-9 unit in a big city. It's always in the back of your mind that something could happen.
    God bless Agent Zapata and his family and friends.
