"A U.S. Border Patrol agent fatally shot a 15-year-old Mexican boy after a group trying to illegally enter Texas threw rocks at officers near downtown El Paso...drew sharp criticism from Mexico, where President Felipe Calderon said Tuesday that his goverment "will use all resources available to protect the rights of Mexican migrants... It was the second death of a Mexican at the hands of Border Patrol officers in less than two weeks, and the case threatened to swell into a full-blown international incident when U.S. and Mexican officials traded suggestions of misconduct. "
The boys threw rocks at the federal agents and they warned the boys to stop and one got shot by the agents.
While President Felipe Calderon insists that "he will use all resources available to protect the rights of Mexican migrants" he must remember that this is not a game. when someone trespasses in to another foreign country crossing international lines that it in it's self is dangerous.
Don't be surprised that because of lax immigration issues from both sides of the border could lead to another war between the US and Mexico.
A can of worms I don't think either side wants.

The best thing Calderon could do is encourage his own people to not be migrants and stay home and help him out with drug cartels and corruption.
