Border Patrol Officer Shot Down

@ 04:03 PM (4 months, 11 hours ago)
The border is only about half the problem with illegal aliens entering this country but it is an incredibly dangerous place. Why our goverment adamantly refuses to get serious with law enforcement along our borders is beyond me. Yeah, they've hired more people but they are way behind the curve. Ahh, some reason the military can't be encouraged to stage for live fire exercises in those areas close to the their firing ranges?

Sorry we let you down, Officer Rosas
