On Tuesday, the Mexican government sent a diplomatic note to the United States protesting the fatal shooting of a Mexican immigrant by a U.S. Border Patrol agent.

In the tragic wake of the Jose Compean and Ignacio Ramos saga, this latest story is now the standard on our border. Right is wrong, down is up and chaos rules supreme!

The fact that Mexico has the audacity to reprimand our government, and our government suggests the possibility of a civil rights investigation is beyond absurd!

Our nation has become a laughingstock.

Perhaps we ought to seriously consider changing the inscription on the Statue of Liberty to "bring us your drug cartels, human traffickers, drug pushers and violent gangs!"

Is this what we have become?

I believe the answer in all this madness is found at the grassroots level--people like you and I fighting for what is right.

That is why I am urging EVERY member of our Grassfire team who has already signed our "Pardon the Agents" petition to add their name to our "Secure the Border" petition by clicking here:

Then after adding your name, alert your friends to the madness that has become our borders! BUT WAIT. It is no longer good enough just to send the message. Please follow it up, talk about the madness with your friends, and let them know the importance of signing our petition and having a REAL voice in this issue!

Thank you for taking action with me!
