A spokesman for the Mexican Embassy in Washington, Ricardo Alday, accused Texas of “an irreparable breach of international obligation” if it executed any of their citizens.

Good for us.

[WayneS]

Go Texas !!!!!

[Vaquero]

...in a long-running battle between Mexico, which has no death penalty...

living in Mexico IS a death penalty...thats why so many want in here....

[BenLurkin]

"rape and murder of two teenage girls"

There is something wrong with anyone who opposes the execution.

[Ditter]

I am sorry this woman is grieving but I am grieving that these monsters are still breathing air. They should have died long ago. This was the most awful crime, I don't even like re living it to rejoice in their deaths.

Best Mexico’s embassy spokesman puts out the word IN MEXICO that it can be dangerous to cross that border.

14-year old girl who was raped and killed by the poor boy that lady is holding up the picture of.

You’ve got to love Texas.

Wasn't “Texas,” that was Governor Rick Perry, a man who get bashed as often and as hard as our current President. Means Liebral want the Gov. gone, too.

[Old Grumpy]

“Texas, a place with a long history of upholding the death penalty and of telling other governments to mind their own business.”

Way to go, Texas!! Keep up the good work.

[Always Right]

Leave it to the NY Times to put up a picture of the killers grandmother instead of the victims.

[YCTHouston]

“In Texas, if you kill someone, we will kill you back.”

[DemonDeac]

” convicted in the 1993 rape and murder of two teenage girls here — is scheduled for Aug. 5.”

Lag times between crime and punishment that are this bad or worse bug me to no end.

[rep-always]

I am calling Gov. Perry (512-463-2000) to give him praises for this decision. I think everyone should do the same. Sometimes it is hard to stand up to a barrage of opposing forces and the governor needs a pat in the back from the Americans that believe in the rule of law.

Texas says: “Remember the Alamo”

[jagusafr]

Don’t do the crime in Texas if you can’t stand dyin’.

[mathluv]

If they don’t want them executed, keep them in Mexico, instead of letting them come here to rape and murder.

[14erClimb]

Even though I love to talk crap about Texans that visit Colorado, I must say my repect for Texans has gone up quite a few notches.

Fry the b-tards!

[ladtx]

I’m from Texas. In Texas we have the death penalty. And we USE it.

That’s right, if you come to Texas and kill somebody, we will kill you back. That’s our policy.

They’re trying to pass a bill right now through the Texas Legislature that will speed up the process of execution in heinous crimes where there’s more than three credible eye witnesses. If more than three people saw you do what you did, you don’t sit on death row for 15 years, Jack, you go straight to the front of the line.

Other states are trying to abolish the death penalty … my state’s puttin’ in an express lane.
