The U.S. Border Patrol, in an effort to stop the increase in over the fence attacks on its agents, has responded by launching tear gas, pepper-spray and bullets back into Mexico.
Mike Fisher, a top agency official in San Diego, defended the controversial plan. "Our agents have been attacked nearly 1,000 times during a one-year period. Things keep flying over the fence from Mexico. When it was just little things like cans and bottles we didn't mind so much. But last week, a flying Mexican baby hit one of our agents in the head! "
The counteroffensive has drawn complaints from Mexico's acting consul general in San Diego, Ricardo Pineda. "We will not sit by idly while these mercenaries attack the poor defenseless people whose only crime is being born in a lousy country where they have no future." Asked if he was worried about reprisals from the Mexican government for being critical of his home nation, Pineda claimed, "Look, I'm already in the U.S. Even if I get fired from this job, I am not going back to that hell hole."
