Criminal Migrant shot, reactions predictable

So, a Border Patrol agent shot at a criminal sorry, "migrant," who was "sneaking across the border into California" (you know, illegally, but let's not nitpick) on Friday, apparently after the man threw a large rock at him. For exercise, presumably. Anyway, the "migrant" fled back into Mexico, where he apparently died the next day.

The shooting has prompted Mexican prosecutors to open an investigation into the incident, and is allowing Mexican politicians to make a stink (yet again) about our country's immigration policies:

Mexican officials are using the death to draw attention to a contentious anti-immigration measure approved by House of Representatives last month. Many Mexicans oppose the bill, which would build more border fences, make illegal entry a felony and enlist military and local police to help stop undocumented migrants.

A spokesman for Mexican President Vicente Fox says the death shows that extending border walls will not curb illegal immigration.

Uhhhh...how's that? I think a more fitting end to the article would be a sentence about how the death shows that Mexican politicos will use absolutely anything as a pretext to shift blame away from their country's problems, directing it northward.

I also don't notice any suggestions on what to do about the problems posed by illegal immigration drifting this way from our neighbors to the south. Don't like the fences? How about you propose some alternatives?

Oh, and while you're at it, you can knock off this kind of nonsense.
