condemned Texas prisoner Jose Medellin. In that case, the Supreme Court, with four of the nine justices dissenting, rejected his appeal and the Mexican-born Medellin was executed for participating in the gruesome gang rape and murders of two teenage Houston girls 15 years ago.Dang it!
Why do I always miss the good news?
Last I heard, this foreign scumbag was still wasting oxygen...

I cannot see why this nation should be under any legal obligation to inform foreigners, whether here legally or illegally, about their rights as citizens of their countries. One reason is because we agree to do so in exchange for a promise by other countries to do the same in the case of a U.S. citizen arrested in those countries. Of course, Americans aboard are rarely illegally in another country and as a rule behave lawfully when there.

Don’t you think the illegals would get the message now and flee Texas to go to Massachusetts and other lily-white states in the New England region where they have compassion for the “unfortunate poor”?

I cannot see why this nation should be under any legal obligation to inform foreigners, whether here legally or illegally, about their rights as citizens of their countries. We obligate ourselves by treaty to do this simply in order to assure that the other country will reciprocate when they have cause to arrest a US national.
If you were in Honduras and were arrested by their police force, I'm reasonably sure you'd like to know that the US consulate would be informed.
I don't know whether it applies to this last pair of murderers but, in the past, Texas has proceeded to execute several illegal aliens who never volunteered their true status. As a consequence, the state didn't even know they were foreign nationals until the case reached the appeal process.
