According to the newspaper Diario de Juarez, gunmen chased the couples white van shortly after 2 p.m. on Saturday, shooting at the vehicle until it swerved out of control, crashing into oncoming traffic near the bridge.
Ms Enriquez, who was four months pregnant with the couples second child, was shot in the head, while her husband was shot in his neck and arm. When police officers arrived at the victims bullet-riddled Toyota van, they discovered the couples baby daughter crying disconsolately in the back seat, Diario de Juarez reported. At first the officers thought the seven-month-old girl had been wounded, but she was unharmed.
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton extended her sympathy to the families of the victims and said Washington would continue to work with the Mexican government to bring drug traffickers to justice.
These appalling assaults on members of our own State Department family are, sadly, part of a growing tragedy besetting many communities in Mexico, said Mrs Clinton. Washington was committed to: work closely with the government of President Calderon to cripple the influence of trafficking organizations at work in Mexico, she said.

Well, of course! The hope is that murderers will come to the U.S. to commit their heinous deeds... and spend money here in the process.
NO AMNESTY!! Send these invaders to the back of the line and let them obtain citizenship legally!
This was a terrorist attack targeting Americans. It doesn’t matter that they weren’t muslim. (That we’re aware of)
Both parties are guilty of failing to do this. We have allowed Mexico to gain WAY too much political sway in this country. Job One for the Mexican invaders has been "comprehensive immigration reform," i.e. amnesty and surrender of our national culture and sovereignty. It's already well underway. Look what's happened to our national forests. The Mexican drug cartels have taken over large swaths of them, and we are too weak to remove them.
“In their mindless mania to grow the Democrat Party at any cost, Obama and the Democrats have overlooked a vital fact about illegal aliens currently in America: Namely, should hostilities break out between the US and Mexico over Mexico’s inability to control its drug crimes, the loyalties of most illegal aliens will be with Mexico.
The notion that Mexican peasants come to America in pursuit of liberty and freedom and to join the American “family” is too ludicrous to stand. “

Poll: Mexicans say Mexican-Americans Owe Loyalty to Mexico Over U.S.
Thu Oct 15 11:51:17 2009 ·
(CNSNews.com) - Nearly 70 percent of Mexicans surveyed said that Mexican-Americans including those born in the United States owe their primary loyalty to Mexico, not the U.S.

Obama is being helped by Juan McCain, Lindsay Graha-nesty and all of those supporting McCain: Jeb, Mitt, Kyl, Flake, Fred, Pawlenty, Huckerbie, Sarah, Specter and what other RINOs am I forgetting.
McCain has called us racists for wanting to protect America from invasion caused by illegal immigration. This will bankrupt America - it may have already bankrupted America.
America is fraying at the edges too slowly to suit 0bama.
Remember how we fought this the last time? I would not be surprised to see them use the same process on this as they are going to use on Healthcare.
When people do something rotten just once and get away with it, it becomes easier and easier.
The Heritage Foundation concluded that the cost of amnesty alone would be $2.6 trillion. And the number of additional LEGAL immigrants who would join those who were the recipients of amnesty through chain migration, i.e., family reunification, would approach 70 million over a 20-year period, assuming there are only 12 million illegal aliens.
Sorry, but refugee is an accurate description for many. The article is correct, Mexico is turning into a dangerous hellhole, and yes, Mexicans are fleeing. What sane person wouldn’t?
Eventually our leader Obango is going to have to station troops along the border to keep the filth out!
Comprehensive immigration reform necessarily involves a major revamping of our immigration enforcement laws.
Once we have achieved immigration reform, addressing our immigration and naturalization statutes will be our top priority.
It is important to pass comprehensive immigration reform so that we can move forward and make sure that our country is never faced with this situation again.
“What I tell you three times is true.”

A formerly proud nation, England, once went to war because a British seaman was deliberately mutilated. It was a short war called the “War of Jenkin’s ear”.
To be truthful, I forget who committed the mutilation, but the act was NOT repeated.
Today, Americans are slaughtered and “Ho Hum. We’ll seek justice.”
I fear that today’s government would settle the attack on Pearl Harbor by accepting a letter of apology and then resuming the shipments of OIL to Japan.
State Department family
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Oh wow!, Hillary!
“State Department family”? Family? State Department?...really Hillary?
I find this offensive. It degrades the true meaning of the word “family” ( married mother and father and children), especially coming your perverted mouth.
And... the image of that 7 month old crying hysterically in the back seat tugs at my heart. This little person is the one who has lost her family, not the State Department.
They do not.
That is the primary point of having a foreign raised President, a duel citizenship Chief of Staff, billions of foreign dollars financing Obama's campaign, hate for Sarah Palin and GWB, granting billions and billions to Goldman Sachs, (Henry Ford's International Jew), obscuration of the limited federal powers of the Constitution, healthcare for illegals.
The hate for what America originally stood for, individual freedom through individual responsibility, is exactly the same rape as:
The Borg versus The Federation,
The Semite authoritarianism (Islam and Judaism) versus the Christian Soul,
The Soviet Union versus the "Free World,"
Louis XVI versus The (initial) French revolutionaries,
Jaynes' Bicameral Society versus the Conscious.
How obvious is it?
But when a people become lazy, unthinking, irresponsible, and apathetic, tyranny (the LEFT) will prevail. As we are seeing, The LEFT is a psychological bigotry as pathological as any in human makeup.
In this Easter Season it is what Easter is all about.
God, Americans are naive. It could have been all different.
Johnny Suntrade
This is like an on-going nightmare. Everyday I wake up to another chapter.
Most invaders have little or no interest in American values, or in “assimilating” into mainstream America, a fact borne out by their universal refusal to learn English.
Granting amnesty to illegal aliens will only serve to encourage another 40 million or so to violate our borders and laws.
If our president and Congress had any commitment whatsoever to the preservation of American culture and to protecting the American people from harm, the administration would be working to deport invading interlopers back to Mexico.
In addition, the Obama administration should seal off the Mexican border with armed forces to protect American interests against drug lords and the corrupt Mexican government.’

Amnesty update, Lindsey Graham.
Sen. Graham Says President Obama’s Proclaimed ‘Unwavering’ Commitment to Immigration Reform; ‘Doesn’t Pass the Smell Test’
Mar. 15, 2010 Jake Tapper
On Thursday President Obama met with Sens. Chuck Schumer, D-NY, and Lindsey Graham, R-SC, who are working on a bipartisan immigration reform bill. Afterwards, the president said his commitment to resolving the issue is “unwavering.”
On “This Week” Sunday, Graham took issue with that,
“The idea that the president has;been unwavering on immigration doesn’t really pass the smell test,” Graham said. “One line in the State of the Union that was unnoticeable is not; ‘unwavering.’ A hastily called meeting Thursday because of a rally next weekend is not ‘unwavering,’ is CYA.”
Graham said that “unwavering is sending two Cabinet; members over to the House and the Senate two hours a day for two months; That’s what President Bush did. President Obama has not been unwavering on immigration reform. He has pretty much ignored it because; he has been consumed by health care.”
Graham called Schumer a “great partner” and said the two would soon release a document “about our way forward on immigration.”
“President Obama: lead,” Graham said. “You write an...immigration reform bill. You do the heavy lifting. You put together a comprehensive immigration reform package. You bring it to the Senate and House and see how many Democrat and Republican supporters you can get. All you have done is talk about what we should do, now is the time to lead.”
