Border agents cleared in 2014 Taser death
Agents who used a Taser on an El Cajon man who later died were cleared in his death. A federal panel concluded the application of force, physical strikes and the use of a stun gun were in compliance with the CBP’s use of force policy. Ref. Source 3w.
Under a Trump admin look out for more incidents like this and the border agents will have a zero tolerance with any immigrants. It could spell trouble for relationships between Mexico and America.

$1M settlement in border death tentatively OK'd
A federal judge has tentatively approved the U.S. Government’s offer to pay $1 million to the children of a Mexican man who died in 2010 after being beaten and shot with a Taser at the San Ysidro Port of Entry, ending seven years of litigation. Ref. Source 3o.
The vehicle was linked to a murderer. Come on people, I think it's time we got our border under control. A country that can't control its border isn't much of a country. Also, controlling immigration is one of the things the Government should do. Lastly, every murder that an illegal immigrant commits, every crime, is one that should never have happened and wouldn't have if we controlled our borders.
Yeah, well President Trump is going to make this happen despite objections. Under President Bush the the Customs and Border Protection (CBP) grew by 50% after 911. President Obama reversed that growth. Now there will be an even larger expansion under this administration and I hope this time it sticks. We need to gain control of our borders before someone with ill intent comes across and kills a lot of people with a WMD.
