There is no recognized "sovereign" government of Mexico. The US has treaties with such an entity but it does not exist. Who is the true government of Mexico? The cartels, The police/paramilitary forces, or the guy allegedly voted in has President because I have no idea?
Chapman bribed "officials" from the local police and so called "government" and was told they would look the other way when he captured this guy. Apparently there are no laws against such things in Mexico like their is here, but the Mexicans reneged on the deal leaving Dog S.O.L.
This whole situation is bizarre that I think the only any rational agency would hand Dog over to the Mexicans would be if there were some sort of under handed dealings between the two. There is no sanity in this. There is no due process in Mexico and it should be against better judgment to extradite someone back to such a system under fishy circumstances.

Actually the situation is pretty straight forward. Bounty hunting is illegal in Mexico, Dog got arrested for kidnapping as a result of his successful bounty capture of Lester, Dog got out on bail, Dog left Mexico, Dog didn't go back to Mexico, Dog missed his court case, and now the bounty hunter is also a bail jumper. We've sent bounty hunters to Mexico to face the same charge for the same reason before, also to Canada. Whether or not Dog bribed some Mexican cops to look the other way, and whether or not they reneged is immaterial. There's a DVD available from Discovery.com (if you can figure out which episode it is) that shows Dog committing this crime, and of course the fact that he got a TV show in part because of this bounty can't be making Mexico happy.
The moral of the story is simple, don't chase bounties to Mexico, and if you feel you must chase your bounties to Mexico don't making a freaking TV show out of it.

Setting aside the fact that you just contradicted yourself (if we have treaties, then it *is* "recognized"), I find the argument that "the corrupt officials Dog bribed should have stayed bought" unconvincing.
Many illegal immigrants come to our country because they know that the system will wink at them: does it makes them any less criminals?
