The facts are what matter. The "story" is just opinions about how some douchebag reporter wants to percieve the facts. I could find you two stories about the same topic and you'd feel on one side when you read one, and on the other side when you read the other. That's why the world is so uninformed.

Ok, what was your problem again?

Like a good neighbor? Mexico and its refusal to extradite
National Review, Feb 9, 2004 by Kate O'Beirne
ON April 29, 2002, during a routine traffic stop, Los Angeles County deputy sheriff David March was shot in the chest, then in the head at point-blank range by an illegal alien named Armando Garcia. Within 24 hours March's killer was in his native Mexico, where he remains at liberty, beyond the reach of American justice. Garcia had been deported to his home country three times, and at the time of March's murder was wanted for two unrelated attempted homicides in California. As March's widow, Teri, says, "Armando Garcia should have been serving jail time the day my husband was killed." It is likely that Garcia will never be put behind bars, because Mexican government policy prevents the extradition of the most violent fugitives to face trial and punishment in the United States.

California prosecutors estimate that as many as 360 individuals who have committed murder or other serious crimes in the state have not been extradited. An estimated 60 fugitives charged with or wanted for murder in Los Angeles County are believed to be at large in Mexico. But California is not unique in this regard. Fugitives from Georgia justice who have fled to Mexico prompted Rep. Nathan Deal (R., Ga.) to declare that "Mexico's refusal to be a good neighbor in the prosecution of dangerous felons should be the first reason for the United States to resist expanded immigration rules and an open-border policy. Any country that refuses to extradite a criminal who executes a police officer in the performance of his duties on American soil does not deserve to be given favorable trading status or any other position of preference in its dealings with the United States."

Since 1980, a treaty between the United States and Mexico has permitted either country to refuse to extradite citizens in the absence of assurances that the death penalty will not be imposed. Until two years ago, American prosecutors frequently agreed not to seek the death penalty in order to have fugitives returned to their jurisdictions. In October 2001, the Mexican Supreme Court ruled that life imprisonment violates the country's constitution, and Mexico now interprets its treaty obligations in light of that decision. It is no longer sufficient for a prosecutor to waive the death penalty; now assurances of a determinate sentence must be given. The United States, on the other hand, imposes no restrictions on the extradition and prosecution of suspects who have committed serious crimes in Mexico and flee north across the border.

I understand the irony of 'story reporting', afterall I got humor out of the Fox News spoof. I never had a problem, you're just taking my responses as something more than just a way to get into the heart of this thread. :P

I already said our government is too ----- to stand up to them. Good thing you skipped right over the illegal shooting the cop in the face, and his government for being spineless cowards for not sending him back, and getting right to your point of "it's our fault".

That's the thought process that makes life worth living.

Actually, my point isn't just it's our fault and I didn't skip over anything. You must have skipped over the part about there being a reason this happened and that our government agreed to allow such things to happen. :P

When I start stating my views on things, it'll be a lot more than a one word sentence that was only created to play devils advocate and bring in that 2nd side to the story that you talked about.
