Only for US citizens, not Mexican citizens. We don’t execute THEIR citizens.

An anti-death penalty website has 31 Mexican citizens on California's death row:

The order by the ICJ in the case brought by Mexico affects more than 50 Mexican citizens, 31 of whom are on California's death row at San Quentin.

The point I’m trying to make is Mexico will not extradite a murderer to the US IF we charge the death penalty. We more often than not waive it, and even Bush has come to Mexican Murderers defense against the death penalty.

[snip]None of those extradited faces the death penalty, but they could receive life prison sentences if convicted. Mexico does not have capital punishment and will not extradite people unless U.S. prosecutors agree not to seek the death penalty.
