The US state of Texas plans to execute a Mexican national convicted of murder, over the objections of the US and Mexican governments.
Mexico says Wednesday's execution of Edgar Tamayo, 46, will violate international law.
The country says he was not told of his right to seek legal assistance from the Mexican consulate when he was arrested.

Adios Edgar
Our country, our laws, live with it
If you go to Mexico as a tourist, you’re an idiot.
The sad thing is that the taxpayer has taken the check for this criminal for the past 20 years.
This game has been played before. Texas will follow through, again.

You break the laws of Texas in Texas.
I would say that you have to live by the rules in Texas, regardless of what a foreign nation or the federal government thinks or wishes.
As a Texan I have to say,
my only regret is that we retired ‘ol sparky.
All that quiet laying on a comfortable bed just going to sleep don’t seem like justice to me.
Same goes to the fed, States laws - live with it.
Mexico needs to build a border fence to protect their people from these evil racist rednecks in Texas.
And in New Mexico, Arizona, and California
A nice tall one will keep those white devils away!
There will be plenty of pain in Hades if the killer hasn’t repented.
I guess one could always NOT GOT TO TEXAS if he didn’t like Texas laws. Texas didn’t make this guy come there and murder a cop did they?!?
Texas took this issue to the Supreme Court and won.
“Shoot the juice to me Bruce.”
Firing squad is a cheap method...
I bet you’d have no shortage of volunteers for that chore...
They might bring back the firing squad if the new drugs for used for the death penalty do work out quite right.
Will Mexico pay his incarceration bills. If not, they should shut up, and be ashamed for letting this criminal come here. Hang him, and save the rope for the next one.
Yes, sir. Texans have a real problem with a murderer who executes a cop. As the Seinfeld "Soup Nazi" once said, "Adios, muchacho!"
In other words, there is no doubt about his guilt, just some squishy liberals who think the innocent should die and the guilty should be spared.
He is a cop killer. I have lived in Houston for 37 years, Texas 40 and I remember this crime. I am forty five minutes south of Huntsville if I drive fast I can help flip the switch.
No, Kerry is trying to postpone this. It’s a case of “our state, our laws”. And rightly so. This guy murdered a cop, Guy Gaddis, who was only 24.
