He is alleged to have committed a crime in Mexico. He was let out on bond in Mexico, and came back to the United States, and then did not show up for his trial date (he jumped bail, kind of ironic).

Hopefully, he can make this go away with money. I'd hate to see him have to spend time in a Mexican prison.

Looks like Mexico is unwilling to grant Americans extraterritorial jurisdiction and believes that foreigners should follow Mexican Laws while in Mexico.

You gotta love the charge of "deprivation of liberty."

Isn't that what the gov of Mexico does everyday?

Who are we going to war with?

Our own U.S. Federal Court?

A couple of years ago, I was vacationing in the Yucatan and having a conversation in Spanish with the Mexican owner of the place we were staying at. Since I was a Cuban-born Spanish speaker, it did not click with him that, when he spoke about "los Americanos", that I represented that remark.

When the conversation turned to Mexicans illegals in the U.S., he said to me that that was the fault of "los Americans".

"How so?", I asked.

He replied:

"We in Mexico do not want illegals but we say what we mean and we mean what we say. When Guatemalan illegals sneak into Mexico, they are rooted out by our Police and deported."

"In the U.S., 'los Americanos' are always whining about not wanting Mexican illegals but what happens when a Mexican illegal gets to the U.S.? The Mexican is given a good job by the local businesses and the local Police looks the other way. The State gives them a Drivers License and, if things get tough, the State even gives them public assistance. 'Los Americanos' say one thing and then do the other."

That Mexican was absolutely right.

The Mexican illegals are taking U.S. law just as seriously as our U.S. Courts and our U.S. Federal, State and local legislative and executive branches are taking U.S. law.
