Rocks Thrown at Border Patrol Chopper

YUMA, Ariz.

Illegal immigrants threw rocks at a Border Patrol helicopter, forcing the pilot to make an emergency landing when one of the rocks damaged the rotor, the agency said.

Neither the pilot nor the Border Patrol observer was injured.

The A-Star helicopter was two miles west of the U.S. Port of Entry in Andrade, Calif., on Tuesday when a group of immigrants began throwing rocks at the aircraft.

One baseball-sized rock gashed the rotor, forcing the pilot to land nearby, said Michael Gramley, spokesman for the Border Patrol sector based in Yuma, Ariz.

They're only doing the job Americans won't do. I wonder what would happen if an American threw a rock at one of those mexican soldiers escorting drug runners across the border?

The only way they seem to be sent back (if indeed that is happening) is after they get caught for committing crimes! Yeah, that's the idea, just wait until they try to harm Americans in anyway that they can, and THEN they need to go back. It's a Catch 22. All of them are criminals anyway (because they are here illegally), and those undesirables are not able to gain legal access. But the only way we catch em is after they commit crimes here in America. So it's almost like we should want them to commit crimes so we can get them outta here? Hmmm, quite illogical, quite dangerous. Seems to be the game plan for now though :(
