Mexican Illegal Assaults Border Patrol Agent in Texas
It’s open season on those guarding the nation’s southern boundary.

A U.S. Customs and Border Protection agent was assaulted near Eagle Pass, Texas, while he arrested a Mexican illegal alien and convicted drug-dealing felon who was previously deported several times, the government announced.
The assault comes as border-jumpers and human traffickers are becoming emboldened on the nation’s increasingly lawless southern border. Democrat resistance to President Trump’s plan to erect a border wall and lawmakers’ refusal to properly fund immigration enforcement efforts have no doubt made the already-dangerous border situation worse.
Mark Morgan, then head of the U.S. Border Patrol and now President Trump’s nominee to head U.S. Customs and Immigration Enforcement (ICE), told a congressional committee in September 2016 that Border Patrol agents “are among the most assaulted law enforcement personnel in the country.â€
