In this song by Ray Stevens a lot of these things that he says are very true. Many countries have such strict immigration laws that if they catch you they will kill you even Mexico but god forbid we have any penalties at all we just ship you back and let you try again. When you finally do make it we provide you with many things in our sanctuary cities. This needs to end.

On November 20, 2017, Molly Hennessy-Fiske with the LA Times released an article "Slain Border Patrol agent was ambushed in Texas, union says". Two border patrol agents were on a patrol along the southern border in Texas when they were ambushed by illegal immigrants who smashed they heads with rocks. Agent Martenz was killed and his partner barley survived, these people are violent we need to stop illegal immigration and allow them to do it legally but this needs to stop.

The Border Patrol agent who died Sunday in west Texas was ambushed by migrants who beat him in the head with rocks, union officials said Monday.

Federal investigators have not described the incident in detail or characterized the nature of the attack, but on Monday night the FBI said that "both agents sustained traumatic head injuries, along with other miscellaneous physical injuries such as broken bones."

The union representing Border Patrol agents said earlier Monday that Agent Rogelio Martinez, 36, and his partner were responding to reports of suspicious activity in the Big Bend area when attacked. Martinez died at a hospital and his partner, whose name was not released, was in serious condition.

"What we know is that Border Patrol Agent Rogelio Martinez appears to have been ambushed by a group of illegal aliens whom he was tracking. Our agents' reports from the ground say that he was struck in the head multiple times with a rock or rocks," said Brandon Judd, a Border Patrol agent and president of the San Diego-based National Border Patrol Council union that represents 16,000 agents.

"The other agent arrived on scene a short time later and was also ambushed and struck in the head with what is believed to have been a rock or rocks," Judd said. "These disgusting acts and complete disregard for human life need to stop immediately. Family members of slain Agent Martinez will never get to see him come home again all because we have failed to secure our borders from such criminals."

In its statement Monday night, the FBI said Border Patrol agents from the Van Horn station discovered Martinez and the other agent in a culvert adjacent Interstate 10, about 12 miles east of Van Horn, about 11:20 p.m. Saturday.

The agents were taken to a hospital in Van Horn, a town of about 2,000 people, and then airlifted to a hospital in El Paso because of the severity of their injuries. Martinez died early Sunday.

At least 38 Border Patrol agents have died on and off duty since late 2003, according to records the agency posted online. But fatal on-duty attacks are rare for the federal force of more than 22,000 nationwide; the online list includes only a handful.

Among the most high-profile killings of a Border Patrol agent in recent years was the 2010 murder of Arizona Agent Brian Terry, a case that became a rallying cry for those seeking stepped-up border security, something that Donald Trump promised during the 2016 campaign to address as president.

Terry, 40, a former Marine, was fatally shot when his tactical team attempted to arrest a group of suspects near Nogales. Last April, a suspect was arrested in Mexico and charged in connection with the shooting.

Other on-duty attacks include: Agent Nicholas Ivie, 30, shot and killed on duty Oct. 2, 2012, while responding to a sensor activation in a remote area near Bisbee, Ariz.; Agent Robert Rosas, 30, shot and killed by unidentified assailants while on patrol in a remote border area near Campo, Calif., in 2009; and Agent Luis Aguilar, 31, killed on duty near Yuma, Ariz., after a smuggler he was pursuing swerved into his car in 2008.

Some attacks on agents have been captured using video surveillance. But there did not initially appear to be video footage of the latest attack on Martinez and his partner, according to Douglas Mosier, a Border Patrol spokesman in El Paso.

Martinez's family was notified of his death, but officials have yet to tell them how he died, according to his father, Jose Martinez.

"I want them to investigate well, to tell me clearly what happened and to find the ones who did it and punish them," said Jose Martinez, 53, an industrial mechanic in El Paso.

He said the other agent who was hit in the head during the attack, a young man, suffered internal bleeding and still can't talk.

Martinez, an El Paso native, had been a border agent since August 2013. He graduated in 2007 from the University of Texas at El Paso, where he studied graphic design, his father said. Martinez married, bought a home and had an 11-year-old son.

"He loved his country and he wanted to serve to protect it from terrorists," his father said. "He loved his career."

Martinez said he was concerned about his son's safety, especially after he started managing the night shift earlier this year

"I told him, 'Son, be careful.' But he said, 'No, I like it.' I was worried about him," Martinez said.

The FBI was investigating Martinez's death with the Texas Rangers and local agencies along Interstate 10 in Van Horn, about 110 miles southeast of El Paso, said El Paso FBI spokeswoman Jeanette Harper. Investigators plan to hold a briefing in El Paso on Tuesday, Mosier said.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, while announcing a $20,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible, said: "We owe a great deal of gratitude to the brave men and women of the United States Border Patrol who serve every day to protect our homeland."

Border Patrol agents have complained in recent years about being assaulted on the job, and have advocated for more personnel so that they can patrol in pairs, which is considered safer, according to Chris Cabrera, an agent and union local president in Texas' Rio Grande Valley, which had seen the most migrant traffic of any area of the border in recent years.

Spotty radio communications can also make it difficult for agents to summon backup even in more urban areas, Cabrera said, but it wasn't clear if that was a factor in this case, or if the incident would lead authorities in Washington to add resources along the southern border: For instance, the agency had studied the feasibility of providing agents with body cameras.

Acting Secretary of Homeland Security Elaine Duke released a statement saying the agency was still investigating Monday "to determine the cause of this tragic event."

After Martinez's death was announced, President Trump tweeted: "Border Patrol Officer killed at Southern Border, another badly hurt. We will seek out and bring to justice those responsible. We will, and must, build the Wall!"

Trump's comments on the wall were echoed Monday in a statement by U.S. Rep. Michael McCaul, a Texas Republican and chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee.

"Sadly, too many Border Patrol agents have lost their lives in the line of duty. We must speed the implementation of common sense measures essential to protecting our homeland. That is why I have repeatedly called for new technology and physical barriers, including a wall, along with additional personnel to strengthen the security of our southern border," he said.

U.S. Rep. Beto O'Rourke, an El Paso Democrat who has opposed a border wall and is campaigning to unseat Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz, requested a briefing from Homeland Security about the attack and was expected to meet with officials Monday.

"These officers, their department are cornerstones of our community - the largest binational one in the country," O'Rourke said in a statement, promising, "...we will work with law enforcement to pursue justice."

Border Patrol records show that the remote Big Bend sector - which includes the more than 800,000-acre national park of the same name - accounted for about 1% of the more than 61,000 apprehensions its agents made along the Southwest border between October 2016 and May 2017. The region's mountains and the Rio Grande make it a difficult area for people to cross into the United States from Mexico.

Jessica Vaughan, director of policy studies at the conservative Washington, D.C.-based Center for Immigration Studies, has toured that part of the border and described it as a sparsely populated expanse of pecan ranches and farms. Highways and roads run close to the border and shallow stretches of the Rio Grande with sporadic fencing, she said.

"It's traditionally been drug smuggling more than people smuggling, but the cartels have control of the border there - they've literally taken over some of the towns on the south side," Vaughan said. "It does lend some urgency to the president's plan to boost border security not only with physical barriers and a wall where it's appropriate, but also with personnel and other infrastructure, technology that they need."

On January 25, 2017 Steven A. Holmes from CNN published the article "Reality Check: Illegal immigration has plummeted". He states that we have enough of a secure country because we are at a 50 year low of illegal immigrants apprehended on the southern border. He says because 408,870 people were caught that that was a 50 year low. With the budget cuts to border patrol how many people made it through. He claims the number of people caught is a representation of how many people are trying to cross the border, which i believe is entirely false just because we were in the right place at the right time to catch 408,870 people does not mean millions were able to make it before them.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
So how bad is the situation on the southern border? Much better than it has been. In a very long time.

Illegal immigration across the US-Mexico border has fallen dramatically in recent years. According to the US Customs and Border Protection agency, 415,816 people were caught trying enter the country illegally in the fiscal year that ended last September.

Of those, 408,870 were caught trying to cross into the US from Mexico. That national figure is less than half the 1.1 million people caught on average annually between 1980 and 2008. According to the Border Patrol, "apprehensions are an indicator of total attempts to cross the border illegally."

The number of Mexicans who were apprehended trying to cross the border illegally in fiscal 2015 were near a 50-year low, according to a study by the Pew Research Center.

The falloff in illegal immigration from Mexico is so great that, according to Pew, in recent years, more Mexicans have returned to their country of origin than have tried to come here. The Border Patrol also notes that "far fewer Mexican nationals and single adults are attempting to cross the border without authorization, while far more families and unaccompanied children are fleeing poverty and violence in Central America."

What is different is that "a growing share" of these Central American migrants are surrendering to law enforcement "to seek humanitarian protection" rather than trying to sneak into the US undetected.

Whether the current situation on the southern border represents a crisis is in the eye of the beholder.

But to describe a country where illegal border crossings and apprehensions have dropped dramatically in recent years as a country with no borders is misleading.

Kate Steinle Murdered By Illegal Immigrant No Charges

# data[].attributes.body
On November 30th 2017 Elizabeth Zwriz from Fox News put out,

"Kate Steinle’s accused killer found not guilty of murder, to be deported" Kate Steinle, a mother, a daughter, a friend was killed by a ritchotte fired by an illegal immigrant named Jose Ines Garcia Zarate, he was found not guilty on murder or assult or anything. He was released three months before the shooting from a San Fransico jail. He has been convicted of five felonies and deported seven times. Why was he not deported when he left the jail in San Fransico and why did he come back after being deported seven times. This must end we need to secure our borders.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Jose Ines Garcia Zarate was found not guilty Thursday of murdering Kate Steinle on Pier 14 in San Francisco in July 2015 in a case that sparked a heated national debate over illegal immigration and so-called sanctuary cities, and U.S. immigration officials said he will be deported.

Zarate was acquitted of first and second degree murder and involuntary manslaughter. He also was found not guilty of assault with a semi-automatic weapon. He was found guilty of possessing a firearm by a felon. The jury had deliberated for six days.

Steinle was walking with her father and a family friend in July 2015 when she was shot, collapsing into her father's arms. Zarate had been released from a San Francisco jail about three months before the shooting, despite a request by federal immigration authorities to detain him for deportation.
KATE STEINLE TRIAL FEATURES DEMONSTRATION OF HOW SUSPECT COULD'VE CONCEALED MURDER WEAPON
San Francisco is a sanctuary city, with local law enforcement officials barred from cooperating with federal immigration authorities. President Trump has threatened to withhold federal funding to cities with similar immigration policies, but a federal judge in California permanently blocked his executive order last week.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement announced late Thursday: "Following the conclusion of this case, ICE will work to take custody of Mr. Garcia Zarate and ultimately remove him from the country."

ICE Deputy Director Tom Homan added, "San Francisco's policy of refusing to honor ICE detainers is a blatant threat to public safety and undermines the rule of law. This tragedy could have been prevented if San Francisco had turned the alien over to ICE, as we requested, instead of releasing him back onto the streets."

In a response to the verdict, Attorney General Jeff Sessions released a statement saying that despite California's attempt at a murder conviction, Zarate was able to walk away with only a firearm possession conviction because he was not turned over by San Francisco to ICE.

"When jurisdictions choose to return criminal aliens to the streets rather than turning them over to federal immigration authorities, they put the public's safety at risk," the statement said. "San Francisco's decision to protect criminal aliens led to the preventable and heartbreaking death of Kate Steinle."

Upon leaving the courtroom, representatives from both sides spoke to reporters. Defense Attorney Matt Gonzalez offered his condolences to the Steinle family and said the outcome of the case did not make what happened in 2015 any less terrible.

Public Defender Jeff Adachi also released a statement saying Zarate was "extremely relieved" by the outcome and that while Steinle's death "was a horrible tragedy," it was used as "political fodder for then candidate Donald Trump's anti-immigration agenda."

Adachi added, "Despite the unfairly politicized atmosphere surrounding this case, jurors focused on the evidence, which was clear and convincing, and rendered a just verdict."

A spokesperson for the district attorney's office said the verdict was not the one prosecutors were seeking but at the end of the day, the jury ultimately makes the decision. Prosecutors also said the Steinle family was "incredible" and that their hearts went out to them.

While Zarate's immigration status brought the case into the national spotlight, jurors did not hear evidence about that, and it was not a factor in the trial.

After 12 days of testimony, dozens of witnesses and two days of closing arguments, the jury had to decide whether Steinle's death was the result of an act of murder or a tragic accident.

Reporters in the room said the jurors looked very somber as they entered. When the judge was handed the verdict, the courtroom was completely silent. During the reading of the not guilty verdict of involuntary manslaughter, the defense team nodded in approval but didn't show any emotion. Zarate sat stoically in his seat.

Earlier in the day, the bailiff and court clerk were seen entering the jury room with a small yellow evidence bag before retreating with it a few minutes later.
KATE STEINLE TRIAL GIVEN TO JURY IN CASE THAT SPARKED ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION DEBATE
A source inside the courtroom confirmed that the jury asked to see the gun used to shoot Steinle. Zarate and his defense team maintained the argument that the suspect found the stolen weapon on the pier that day and it "just fired."

The gun belonged to a federal Bureau of Land Management ranger and was stolen from his parked car a week earlier.

The bullet ricocheted on the pier's concrete walkway before it struck Steinle, killing her. Zarate has admitted to shooting Steinle, but says it was an accident.

However, the prosecution painted a very different picture, telling jurors that Zarate deliberately shot the gun towards Steinle while "playing his own secret version of Russian roulette."

Following Steinle's death, Congress took action to pass new legislation called Kate's Law. The law -- passed by the House of Representatives in June -- increases the penalties for deported aliens who try to return to the United States and are caught.
Fox News' Claudia Cowan and Jennifer Girdon in San Francisco and The Associated Press contributed to this report.
