Now. more likely than not. they are street thugs. They have weapons. They knife or shoot border patrolmen: they rob anybody who crosses their path. Once on the American side of the border. they are responsible for drug sales and robberies. a veritable crime wave. If a border patrolman dies in a hail of bullets from tile weapon of an illegal alien. it is just another law officer killed in line of duty. But if an alien is shot. there is a hue and cry about police brutality. Once an alien sets foot on U.S. territory. he is protected by a passel of human rights laws and regulations.
