Good.

Capital punishment has been banned by Mexico's constitution since June and was only rarely applied for decades before that.

A look at the border towns show this statement to be incorrect. There is simply the drug baron's thugs conducting the Capital Punishment upon the innocent.

suspects facing life in prison can be extradited

Better to have the US taxpayers feed, clothe, educate and house them, I guess. /s

I agree! Didn't Congress just pass a law that would cut off foreign aide to countries that would not deport cop killers?

Isn't the Mexican Courts sudden reversal an amazing coincidence?

[Dog Gone]

While the tone might have gotten through to Mexico, they accept no foreign aid from us at all. None. It's a matter of national pride, so we're told.

In any event, it wasn't the financial aspect that influenced this decision.

While the tone might have gotten through to Mexico, they accept no foreign aid from us at all.

Well, no direct foreign aid. We just employ their entire underclass for them. ;)

and they thank us by collecting billions of dollars

Dang, even more?

Even though your statement is a huge exaggeration, it's at least partly true. Nevertheless, the immigration issue has nothing to do with this decision. I don't think there's any connection at all.

may I offer an opinion, while I proceed to offer an opinion... you are probably correct, but I do think Mexico has sensed the mood of the majority of Americans concerning their policy of immigration and while there may be no connection, there may be a bit of fear beginning to seep into the governing class in Mexico which caused this bone to be thrown out....

BTW is there any way to change a nick besides being banned..
I think there may be many who may be uncomfortable seeing this nick.

Thank you in advance for any response.

that they do...that they do

In regard to your first question, I really haven't seen any evidence that the Mexicans are sensitive to American opinion. They're sensitive to American tourist dollars, and to the extent that those equate, they'll react.

I don't think this Mexican court decision has much to do with tourist dollars. I think they just actually made the right decision.

As far as changing your name, it can be done. I've seen it several times, although it's not automatically granted. Your name truly does suck, and it needs to be changed if you're not going to permanently marginalized here.

Do a Freepmail to Jim Robinson and ask him. He's not an unreasonable guy.

thank you...I'll go looking for that email
unless you happen to have it handy...I'll
even bend over so you may kick my butt to
get my lungs going....
and thanks again.

Mexico's Supreme Court ruled Tuesday that suspects facing life in prison can be extradited, overturning a 4-year-old ban that had prevented many of the country's most notorious criminals from being sent to the United States.

---Mighty generous of them since they send their trash here illegally for the most part anyway.

almost handled, with sending out the email...
That dumb of me asking for the email address
I had that.

thanks
hope your evening is marvelous
