Yes, build it! We can't give lethal injections to their unwanted citizenry; Mexico opposes the death penalty.
"We can't give lethal injections to their unwanted citizenry; Mexico opposes the death penalty."
I think we can give the death penalty to their citizens that are here. I just think that they won't transfer any of their citizens from Mexico for committing crimes here if the death penalty is on the table.
As a matter of fact, some countries won't even extradite unless "life w/o parole" is ALSO taken off of the table & mexico is one such country. Yet, we were perfectly willing to send Duane "Dog" Chapman back to mexico for capturing a drugging rapist that, IMHO, mexico was knowingly let hide down there.
mewzilla, From what I understand on that specific occasion he was not deported, they didn't prosecute him for what they picked him up for & released him & at the time Denver was a "sanctuary" city & the Denver authorities didn't notify ICE...btwn that time & the time of the dragging death the state of CO told jurisdictions throughout the state that they were not allowed to be "sanctuary" cities.

I really don't want to be seen as "speaking ill of the dead", however, facts are facts & there is further info on this case that I think needs to be pointed out.
The woman that was dragged to death was ALSO an illegal alien invader. And not only that but Colorado victim-compensation funds are going to partly cover sending her body back to mexico for burial.
Yes, I know I'll be viewed by some as being "insensitive" but I don't care. As far as I'm concerned, no illegal alien invader should be getting (even in death) $ from a govt victim-compensation fund. The article I'm going to give a link for gives the excuse that the fund isn't made up of tax $'s but from "surcharges levied on people who plead guilty or are convicted". Sorry but that fact doesn't change my mind. So what if it isn't from tax bucks...IMHO govt associated vic comp funds should ONLY go (dead or alive) to citizens & LEGIT visitors/immigrants to the USA.
Nor do I think that TAX $'s should be spent on cosmetic face reconstruction for deceased illegal alien invaders (as is being done in this case)...that's what closed caskets are for.
I've been told on more than one occasion that I should have compassion for illegal alien invaders...well it ain't gonna happen...I've had enough.
The next quotes are from the following link:
http://http://www.denverpost.com/news/ci_4387984
"The Mexican government and Colorado victim-compensation funds will cover the full cost of repatriating the remains of Luz Maria Franco-Fierros - the woman who was dragged to her death last week - back to her hometown of Chilpancingo, the capital city of the Mexican state of Guerrero."
(SNIP)
"Both Franco-Fierros and the suspect in her death, Jose Luis Rubi-Nava, are illegal immigrants from Mexico."
(SNIP)
"In Franco-Fierros' case, as with other murder victims, the funeral home cosmetically reconstructs the face to save the family the shock of seeing a loved one so disfigured."
