What do Mexicans mean their Mexicans act in an aggressive way against Mexicans and even their own Hispanics?

The Mexican government reported a rise in incidents in which U.S. immigration authorities harmed Mexican migrants. Agents hurt or killed five Mexicans in 2008, 12 in 2009 and 17 this year, according to data from the Mexican Foreign Ministry.

In a statement, the FBI said the El Paso incident began around 6:30 p.m. Monday. A U.S. Border Patrol agent arrived to help colleagues responding to a report of suspected illegal immigrants being smuggled into the USA.

The statement says the agent detained one of the suspects while others ran to the Mexican side of the border and threw rocks at the agent.

"This agent … gave verbal commands to the remaining subjects to stop and retreat," the statement said. "However, the subjects surrounded the agent and continued to throw rocks at him. The agent then fired his service weapon several times, striking one subject who later died."

The Mexican Foreign Ministry said in a statement Thursday that the use of firearms to "repel attacks with stones represents a disproportionate use of force."

T.J. Bonner, president of the National Border Patrol Council, the union representing about 17,000 agents and support staffers, said frequent rock attacks have the "capacity to inflict serious damage, if not death." He said the agent, a seven-year veteran, appears to have acted properly.

Bonner said U.S. records show the Mexican boy had been arrested six times on charges related to human smuggling or illegal entry.

In Mexico, some citizens were outraged. "They’re acting in a very aggressive way against Mexicans and even their own Hispanics," Alejandro López, 27, said Thursday in Mexico City. "The (Border Patrol) is going to do whatever they can to excuse it, but in the end, he was just a kid, and he didn’t deserve to die."

according to the State Department: 79 U.S. citizens were killed last year in Mexico, up from 35 in 2007. In Juarez, just across the Rio Grande from El Paso, Texas, 23 Americans were killed in 2009, compared with two in 2007.
Obama no Comment.ZzZzZzZzZz

I can understand their frustration and ignorance of the real issue behind this but I am getting tired of their stupidity. I am so tired of the double standards they impose. Mexicans are aggressive with Central American migrants yet they don’t get called out for it. It was unfortunate for that boy to lose his life but he was no saint. As you mentioned, he was a human trafficker and had been arrested numerous times. His mother even said he was a good kid. HAHAHA or should it be JAJAJA
