Mexican Teen Killed by U.S. Border Patrol Agent

It's more than politics.

As more Americans realize that everything is being done to continue Mexico's invasion of our country, the tension and aggression will show more at the border.

Just like in 1846.

The shooting of a Mexican criminal arouses "strong tensions", but the murders of American citizens by Mexican criminals does not arouse a flicker of tension or indignation by the ruling classes.

1846 was a different animal, as was 1836 concerning the independent state of Texas in which Mexican citizens, Anglo and Tejano alike, protested the abrogation of the 1824 Mexican constitution...

Neither side of the immigration debate can honestly insert events over 150 years ago, as all those people and their issues are long dead while the times and issues as well as the people are different. All we can reasonably expect is honest history of the past, which seems to hard to come by, and honest evaluation of the present, which likewise is subject to mischaracterization.
