Thousands of mourners poured out to see the burial of the Mexican man put to death by lethal injection in Texas last month, a move that has sparked diplomatic tensions between the U.S. and the central American state.

Friends and relatives carried the coffin of Mexican Edgar Tamayo to the cemetery in his home town of Miacatlan, Morelos state, amid an outpouring of grief from local residents.

His family in Mexico will probably get social security death benefits as well.

I hope the GOP stools whose idea it was to play the race card against their base are paying attention to this insult. We should have cremated the scumbag, and flushed him down a public urinal, one that could be named after him.

They come to our country and break our laws and expect don’t expect to be punished accordingly?

Did they think we passed amnesty already?

La Raza refers to illegal aliens as “undocumented citizens”. If he waas a ‘citizen’, why would the UN be so upset that he was executed?

“and the central American state.”

Uh, Alex, you ignorant slut! Even if you are male you are still an ignorant slut! Mexico is in North America, not Central America.

My point: If there is one inaccuracy, however small, in any article can anyone believe any of the rest of the article?

What really sparks tensions between Mexico & the USA is the fact that Mexicans celebrate the murderer of an American citizen as a hero.
