Sure our our borders are as porous as seive and we don't enforce our own laws with regards to illegal immigration and we are letting Vincente Fox dictate the terms of our relationship with Mexico, but finally a small amount of sanity in the whole mess...
WASHINGTON (AP)-[off the wire, no link]-The U.S. Supreme Court Monday turned aside an appeal by a Mexican citizen on death row in Texas, who contended he and 51 other Mexicans should have their death sentences overturned because they were improperly denied legal help from their consulates in violation of international law.
In an unsigned decision, justices dismissed the case of Jose Medellin, who argued he was entitled to a federal court hearing on whether his rights were violated when a Texas court tried and sentenced him to death in 1994 on rape and murder charges without consular access. |
Yeah, right... diplomatic immunity for illegal aliens. At least we're not giving the entire country away.
Just most of it.
UPDATE: Speaking of which, while it sucks that anyone died, what is almost as sad is that our border patrol has been reduced to a search and rescue squad for endangered illegal immigrants
TUCSON, Ariz. (AP)-[off the wire, no link]-The sudden onset of temperatures over 100 degrees led to a rash of deaths among illegal immigrants over the weekend in the Arizona desert, with 12 people reported dead between Friday and Monday.
Scores more were saved in nearly 50 rescue operations, said U.S. Border Patrol spokesmen. |
I really wonder... did they take the injured to US hospitals and then deport them? |
