Illegal aliens throwing rocks forced a Border Patrol helicopter to make an emergency landing near Andrade, CA yesterday.
17 illegals were apprehended after the incident, and the pilots weren't injured, but ten other illegals got away.
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.Can the Border Patrol cops shoot back? Please?

Shoot Back? No, that might be impolite and certainly not PC. Let's just reclassify the 'border patrol cops' to 'border crossing facilitators' so that we don't offend anyone.
