DEMING, N.M. (AP) - The police chief of a Mexican border town has requested asylum in the United States, where he told authorities his two officers have fled and he does not know their whereabouts.

The Luna County Sheriff’s Department and the U.S. Border Patrol say Emilio Perez of Palomas came to the port of entry at Columbus late Tuesday night, requesting political asylum.

The agent-in-charge of the Border Patrol station in Deming, Rick Moody, says Perez is in the protection of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents.

Authorities have reported an increase in drug-related violence in Palomas, where at least four people have been fatally shot in recent weeks.

McCain will be using this story to show us that all Mexicans should have ‘political’ asylum here. Any excuse for amnesty will do.

Interesting to know just who are McCain’s handlers other than Lieberman who whispers answers to him.

where does a good american go to ask for asylum?? LoL
I do not like the way my country is treating me, rather than staying and fighting to correct, I will jump the border and ask for asylum if someone will just point the way??

This is sarcasm I have no intention of doing any such thing.

Oh that's right.... McCain doesn't care... he just listens to the advice from "Doctor Juan"...

Ah yes—Palomas. It’s been over a decade since I’ve been there, and I’ve still not smelled anything quite like Palomas. What a dump.

Given the Mexican police affection for bribes, this guy would be perfect for the U.S. Congress. He’d need some more training in corruption, of course, like don’t keep $90,000 cash in your freezer. But otherwise, this poor guy would be a perfect fit for an elected office in either the national or state capitals.

I don't think having a yellow streak up your back is enough to get political asylum, but then with Jorge and Cert-off you never know.

A neighbor just told me this and I came in the house and sure enough it is true. It’s not that I didn’t believe it, Palomas has been having problems for a while- just seems to be getting worse.

Palomas has been having problems even before what has been in the news lately. Yes Palomas is lawless right now, a neighbor just told me that some men robbed a dentist’s office in Palomas at gunpoint while the mayor was getting a root canal. The mayor may have left town by now.
