All of a sudden, this kid was an angel. They are calling for an investigation and Rahm, being the nice guy he is, is opening one. I surely wouldn't want to be a Border Patrol agent nowadays. They get all the crap and no respect. Kinda like MTs, but worse.
Mexico – through diplomatic correspondence and an angry phone call to the Homeland Security Secretary – have called for the agent's extradition to face its justice system, as the teenager was killed on its side of its border with El Paso, Texas.
Shortly after the shooting, Mexican federal police chased Border Patrol agents out of the riverbed with rifles trained on them while a crowd on the Mexican side taunted the U.S. officials and threw rocks and firecrackers.
Referring to Arizona's new ‘discriminatory’ immigration law, Mexican President Felipe Calderon said in a statement today: ‘We are worried by this surge of violence against Mexicans, which comes along with a surge of other anti-immigrant and anti-Mexican occurrences in the United States.’
Interior Secretary Fernando Gomez Mont phoned U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, to protest over the killing of Hernandez and a man on the California-Mexico border two weeks ago.
Mr Gomez Mont's office said he demanded that the U.S. and Mexico carry out a joint review of protocols on the use of force by border officers.
Gomez Mont told Ms Napolitano the ‘unjustified use of force against our population is unacceptable to the Mexican government’.
Mr Calderon's government has comes under increasing criticism at home for what some Mexicans believe is a lukewarm reaction to the two deaths.
Opposition politicians and commentators criticised him for leaving yesterday to watch the World Cup in South Africa.
Jesus Ortega, president of the opposition Democratic Revolution Party, said the Border Patrol agent who shot Hernandez should be extradited to Mexico.
‘When a delinquent commits a crime in Mexico that affects a U.S. citizen, extradition is immediately requested and the Mexican government immediately grants it,’ he said.
