No matter what you think of undocumented migration, undocumented migrants at the end of the day are human beings with human rights. The most important right they have is the right to their life. The U.S. can arrest and deport undocumented migrants if it deems it necessary, but border patrol agents CANNOT KILL THEM.

A new PBS documentary exposes the tasing and beating death of a Mexican immigrant by U.S. border agents in California, and has renewed scrutiny of what critics call a culture of impunity. In May 2010, 32-year-old Anastasio Hernández Rojas was caught trying to enter the United States from Mexico near San Diego. He had previously lived in the United States for 25 years and was the father of five U.S.-born children. But instead of deportation, Hernández Rojasâ detention ended in his death. A number of border officers were seen beating him, before one tasered him at least five times. He died shortly afterward. The agents say they confronted Hernández Rojas because he became hostile and resisted arrest. But previously undisclosed videos recorded by eyewitnesses on their cell phones show a different story. âAll eyewitnesses that we spoke to basically tell the same story of a man hogtied and handcuffed behind his back, not resisting, being beaten repeatedly â by batons, by kicks, by punches, by the use of a taser â for almost 30 minutes until he died,â says reporter John Carlos Frey, whose exposé aired in a national television special last Friday night, as part of a joint investigation by the PBS broadcast, "Need to Know," and the Investigative Fund of the Nation Institute. We also speak with Hernández Rojasâ widow, MarÃa Puga. âMy husband was tortured; he was severely beaten, and theyâve destroyed an entire family,â says Puga, speaking through a Spanish-English translator. âAll we want is justice, and we need your help to get that justice.

Sorry I cannot say anything further. I am at a loss for words upon seeing the horror.
