President Bush and the so-called "Justice Department" are currently trying to block the Texas execution of an illegal alien convicted of the gang rape and brutal murder of two American teenage girls over a decade ago, in order to satisfy the demands of the Mexican government and the U.N.

"An international court ruled in 2004 that the convictions of Jose Medellin and 50 other Mexicans on death row around the United States violated the 1963 Vienna Convention, which provides that people arrested abroad should have access to their home country's consular officials... Mexico has no death penalty. Mexico and other opponents of capital punishment have sought to use the court to fight for foreigners facing execution in the U.S." -- Houston Chronicle

Mexico would prefer that U.S. taxpayers continue to feed and house these worthless sociopaths for the rest of their lives. Or just turn them loose to prey on American society once again, like so many of their illegal compadres.
