This is ludicrous. TX and the Fed. Gov. both have powerful death penalties that are regularly enforced, especially TX and TX will do it to this subhuman. The atrocity was committed here, not in Mexico, meaning the US has exclusive jurisdiction. Indeed, Mexico doesn't even have a death penalty and the perpetrator of a similar crime in Mexico where seven US citizens were murdered wouldn't even face it.

Mexico can try him AFTER TEXAS EXECUTES HIM.

This raises a very straightforward & interesting question.

Shouldn’t the US take legal action against Mexico for the sheer number of their citizens who are coming here & committing heinous crimes on American soil?

Shouldn’t we at least try to recover the costs?

[DoodleDawg]

It’s likely a political stunt on the part of the Mexican government. So long as Texas tries him for the murders then there is no reason to extradite him. If the U.S. were to drop the charges then Mexico would have a claim.

8 Mexican nationals but the media makes it sound like it was mos no “whities” just people with brown skin.

[morphing libertarian]

you can only execute him once.

They don’t seem to give a damn how many of our citizens get killed by their citizens in our country, but one of ours kills a few of theirs and they want him deported to Mexico.
