On the odd occasion when U.S. Border Patrol Agents are forced to shoot and kill an invading criminal from Mexico in self-defense, the entire government of Mexico goes apoplectic, lead by President Felipe Calderon who DEMANDS an investigation while appealing to the United Nations and the world community for support.
Mind you, the Mexican Mental Meltdown is all about a vicious criminal who was attempting to smuggle drugs and or people into America.
However, when it comes to innocent Americans being slaughtered in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico while engaged in tourism, the silence from the White House and the left is palpable.
The latest outrage from our third-world neighbor involves the death of five U.S. citizens over the past week.
As reported at the link, in part:
CIUDAD JUAREZ, Mexico — A U.S. university student died Wednesday from a shooting attack on a car in Ciudad Juarez, making him the fifth American slain in the violent border city in six days.
Eder Diaz, 23, a student across the border at the University of Texas at El Paso, was attacked Tuesday evening along with classmate Manuel Acosta, 25, the U.S. Consulate in Ciudad Juarez confirmed in a statement e-mailed to The Associated Press.
Gunmen opened fire on a car in which the two were traveling, according to an investigator from the state of Chihuahua, where Ciudad Juarez is located. The investigator spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the case.
Acosta was killed at the scene, while Diaz died early Wednesday at a Juarez hospital, university spokesman Steve Lazarin said. Diaz was a business major and Acosta a computer information systems major, he added.
In a recent photograph from the El Paso Times, the two are shown smiling and high-fiving a car dealership owner as he entered a classroom for a talk with students.
The consulate said it had not yet confirmed whether Acosta was also a U.S. citizen. The investigator said he was from Chihuahua's capital of the same name.
Diaz was the fifth U.S. citizen to be killed in Ciudad Juarez since Friday. All the victims were from El Paso, Texas, which is located across the border from Ciudad Juarez.”
At the very least, President Obama should be demanding that the government of Mexico protect American citizens foolish enough to visit the deadliest city in the world, or face grave consequences.
Grave consequences, like sending U.S. troops into Ciudad Juarez to ferret out the murdering cowards and bringing said thugs to justice.
Instead of using his bully pulpit to demand the safety of Americans in Mexico, our hapless president, and his partners in political malfeasance at the U.S. Congress, waste their time and energy in crafting plans to grant amnesty to 12-38 million invading criminals from Mexico.
When will Barack Obama “Man up” and defend against the wanton slaughter of innocent Americans in Ciudad Juarez?
