So if a mexican was trying to run across my patriotic border, do i have the AMERICAN right to shoot that mexican on sight.

Asked by Sen. Tedd Cruz almost 12 years ago

Not unless it is on your property and your state laws allow you to do so.  Certain states will allow you to shoot someone invading your home property if you feel threatened.  Most will not.  This is why you see a large number of Americans being forced from their homes along the border, because the immigrants/cartels have made it impossible to stay there or live there safely.

Do border patrol agents got rights to shoot ,if an illegal trying to jump over fence and tries to run on finding him?

Asked by MR.CURIOUS over 11 years ago

No.  As with all federal agencies the USBP "Use of Force" policy is very strict and is solely based around defending the agent and other innocent people.  Almost every other country in the world is different.  Entering almost any other country can get you shot for simply entering illegally. 

my cat has died at a animal hospital in tijuana and I want to bring him home to San Diego to be buried. Can I bring him across the border by foot.

Asked by Dawnfreemansd over 11 years ago

No idea.  You'd have to speak to a customs guy.  I'm sure there are certain regulations in place regarding the importation of corpses.

Asked by kay almost 12 years ago

I do not believe there is a limit.  Please call the hiring office in Minnesota (should be listed on your paperwork) to confirm if there is a limit.
