“President Barack Obama is attempting to block the execution in Texas on Thursday of a Mexican man because it would breach an international convention and do ‘irreparable harm’ to US interests,” Guardian.co.uk reports.
Humberto Leal Garcia “was convicted in 1994 of the rape and murder of a 16-year-old girl in San Antonio. Few question that he was responsible for the killing but the Texas authorities failed to tell Leal…that under the Vienna convention he was entitled to contact the Mexican consulate when he was arrested.”
Ah. So he did it. But overlooking a procedural step informing this monster of his entitlements under international treaty was overlooked. But he still did it. This big, brave piece of cowardly offal raped and killed a little girl. And 15 years later, the rabid animal is about to be put down—except Obama worries the Mexican government will get mad at us if we do.
How telling that he does not place his emphasis or concern on an operation conducted under the authority of his administration that has resulted in estimates that up to 150 Mexican nationals may have been killed—people who were never given due process and their day on court, that is, people who were legally innocent. And how many more Mexican and U.S. citizens have suffered on our side of the border remains to be seen.
But while occupying their concerns with a treaty-driven entitlement technicality, the administration has stonewalled Congress every step of the way on basic matters of Congressional authority, U.S. law, Mexican law…nope, no chance of doing “irreparable harm to U.S. interests” there…
That may be changing though—at least as far as the administration’s ability to keep up with the directed non-cooperation and at the same time keep the noise level down on it. From Fox News:

F-— Mexico. We ought to send them a bill for all the money we spend on THEIR citizens killing ours and trashing our cities.
LLS
Obama must think he can tell Texans how they will enforce their laws. Texans will deal with the Mex killer on their own. What obama should be more interested in protecting AMERICANS!!!!
Got to wonder why Obummer is kissing up to Mexico??
Votes
They hate America, Obummer hates America.
It’s that simple.
SCREW you Obama. If it had been your daughter you would be screaming for the death penalty.
Our relations with Mexico suck. They send drugs and illegals to America in invasion numbers. They attack and kill Americans along the border on a regular basis.
He is not kissing up to Mexico as much as opposing the death penalty and trying to stick his finger into Rick Perry’s eye. It is all political.
It’s amazing to me that Mexico wants to save this POS. That the UN wants to save this POS. That Obama wants to save him doesn’t surprise me.
Why would anyone want to keep alive a man who murdered a 16 year old girl?
Sadly, that's probably not true hence his
apparent inability to understand the issue and
his blubbering on about 'international ramifications'.
Hey Barack!
Isn’t ‘irreparable harm’ to US interests,” your primary objective?
Obama’s protection of this convicted murderer on death row
is nothing but a recruitment announcement from the DNC
for murderer-enforcers to work for the DNC.
This supports the likelihood that
the Obama administration and the DNC might even
be behind the increasing rabid mob attacks
on US city streets (organized by Holder at the DOJ?).
I thought the majority (at least in Texas) support the death penalty??
Also being a Texan, how do you feel about Perry?
Thanks.
It's obvious they are organized by Holder. He's been putting out the word that "his people" will be left alone no matter what they do. What we've seen so far shows that the message was received.
I expect much worse to come.
I don’t think “good” relations with Mexico are that important. If worse comes to worse, a couple of Armored Divisions headed South can restore our “relationship” to its proper status.
If Perry has any “stones” he will let the perp DIE!
`We are at war with mexico... **** them all... invade and make everything north of the South side of the Panama Canal... America. Send the malcontents to Cuba and Venezuela.`You *DO* realize that there are a bunch of countries between Mexico and the "south side of the Panama Canal", right?
