The Mexican Government Cares

That whine you're hearing is coming from the south. The Mexican government says that the United States violated international law by putting a Mexican national to death in Texas. Maybe he should have stayed in Mexico where he could have died at their hands.

We all know how important these citizens are to the Mexican government. In 2002, the World Bank estimated that half the population in Mexico was living in poverty and one fifth of the citizens lived in extreme poverty. The child poverty rate in 2005 was at about 25 per cent and in Mexico 1/3 of all children (under 14) have no health insurance.

These same Mexican citizens also get to reap the harvest of the culture of corruption that is part of their government's DNA.

And as for physical safety and security, one has only to look at the violence that takes place daily south of the border.

So, they raise a stink about the quick death of a murdering rapist who tortured two young girls, but leave their own innocent in squalor, to die from the elements, hunger, disease or gang violence. I guess as long as it's passive murder by the Mexican government that's OK.
