By the way, DD, would you by any chance know if any of the Mexicans that the International Criminal Court, (ICC) said had to have a new trial, have been executed? These 50 Mexicans were all on death row for different crimes.

I remember that but I haven't heard anything more about it. All of their cases had to be reviewed, right?

If I find out anything about that I'll FReep mail you.

Look pal.
Mexico has a few serious problems. 1st is a lack of jobs for its populace. Instead of taking care of its folks Mexico simply sends its people north for jobs. I'd probably be one of those trying to come north to get a job to take care of my family if in the same situation.
Corruption is rampant and has been ingrained into every institution.
It is not my responsibility to pay for every illegals medical bills but that seems to be the attitude.
Mexico won't allow illegals from south of that country to enter and leach off the Mexicans, why should we here have to?
Narcotics is serious and your attitude is well you Americans have that demand thing going for you. Well it destroys your govt.
Mexicans are some of the hardest working son of a guns I've ever seen and I have no problem with them here IF the came here legally. Most aren't here legally.
I can go on pal but I don't figure it will do any good.
Lastly I'll say that a disproportionate percentage of crimes here are a result of illegals and blacks.

Colombia was successful in fighting the drug lords, Fox said. "I am sure we will be successful, too."

I wasn't aware that any significant dent had been made in the Colombian cocaine trade. In any case, somebody has been successful in getting tens of billions of dollars worth of cocaine into the US:

The demand for both powdered and crack cocaine in the United States is high. Among those using cocaine in the United States during 2000, 3.6 million were hardcore users who spent more than $36 billion on the drug in that year.

Ha! Would you blame Vincente's team when he made the following asinine and outrageous comment:

"There is no doubt that Mexicans, filled with dignity, willingness and ability to work are doing jobs that not even blacks want to do there in the United States," he said in a speech broadcast in part on local radio and reported on newspaper web sites.

If "lighting a light" would stop this dim bulb, then we'd be home free wrt Illegal immigration. Fox is pushing for Open Borders, which is totally unacceptable.
