Well, this question does sound a bit like a violence/hate pimp but there is a good question/point here.
Yes, using deadly force could be justified if a felon or criminal attempted to us deadly force to escape or endanger an officer of the USA law enforcement agency (border patrol included)
In fact, this issue is a reality wherein drug and people traffickers have attacked border partrol and sheriffs deputies at the Mexican border using automatic weapons recently ...in fact, out gunning our authorities who do not get such high powered munitions to enforce the law. Generally it is not needed.
It IS time to realize that the issue of border security and illegal immigration along with drug trafficing ARE serious, national security issues. I for one believe we are in a war of sorts at our borders, even if others do not see this.
If our military can go over to Iraq or Afgan. and kill in the name of justice and peace, they certainly SHOULD BE on our national borders protecting America and Americans from those who would come here illegally and break our laws in general and cause any kind of harm or disruption. Again, I for one believe that is happening currently.
If deadly force was required to do that job properly, so be it. |

1. The "Q" asked if the GOVERNMENT had a RIGHT, not individuals.
2. ANY government has an absolute RIGHT to protect its borders from the invasion of its land
3. 12 million + of any group that is foreign, in a sovereign land can be considered an invasion.
4. If the Commander-in-Chief orders our border to be protected my military force, then yes our (or any other) government has the RIGHT to do so! |

Not the USA as a whole, but the Border Patrol are Federal officials. If they tell an intruder to this country, who has entered illegally to "STOP!", and they don't stop, that Border Patrol has the right to shoot him. I believe they could apprehend women and children without lethal force. Grown men can run faster without encumberances, like children, pregnancy, age, or just being slower than the men, like 'most' women. |

They don't issue guns to the Border Patrol as decorations. Anyone entering the country is subject to being shot, but frequently restraint is used. |

Yes the time has come it's time to show those illegals they're not welcome and since they are either too stupid, or they don't care enough to learn English. I think they'll understand this. |

If they pull a weapon first. No one wants to kill people , just have our laws obeyed. But we do have the right to protect ourselves. They aren't at our borders and airports having target practice. They are trained people that don't want violence either. |

not just for fun.
i don't know them, but there must be rules of engagement. there was a story a while back about some illegals trying to evade capture in a suburban. they were not shot at, but when the vehicle crashed, 9 of the 22 people inside died from crash related injuries. they were not shot at.
yeah, you heard right, 22 people in a suburban. |

No, law enforcement cannot shoot at a fleeing felon unless there is evidence that the person is going to create a danger to others.
Prison guards can shoot inmates to prevent them from escaping, they have already been convicted. |
