MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Mexico demanded on Tuesday that Washington investigate the fatal shooting
of another undocumented migrant by U.S. security agents, adding fuel to a smoldering dispute over
illegal immigration.

Mexican Ismael Segura, 23, was fatally shot in the chest by security agents in Texas on the weekend
after he resisted arrest and tried to flee in his a car, the second killing of a Mexican migrant
by U.S. security forces in recent days, the Mexican government said.

Segura was badly injured and died later in hospital.

Mexico -- also fuming at a U.S. proposal to erect a border fence and make illegal immigration
a serious crime -- said its consulate in McAllen, Texas, had asked the local security department
for a full inquiry into Segura's death.

1. Who are these "security agents" and "security forces"?

[IndianaGreen]

2. They are people that love to shoot and kill people of color

Easier for them to shoot unarmed Mexicans that it is for them to risk their lives in places such as Iraq where the natives will shoot back.

3. Actually, plenty of migrants who cross our southern border

"shoot back." Some even shoot first. Being a border patrol agent is not an easy job.
