Just a reminder -- the Mexican government not only has an official policy to violate our nation's border and sovereignty, it also has a policy in place to protect those who commit murders in the United States.

A methamphetamine dealer who gunned down a deputy during a traffic stop in Southern California. A man in Arizona who killed his ex-girlfriend's parents and brother and snatched his children. A man who suffocated his baby daughter and left her body in a toolbag on an expressway overpass near Chicago.

Ordinarily, these would be death penalty cases. But these men fled to Mexico, thereby escaping the possibility of execution.

The reason: Mexico refuses to send anyone back to the United States unless the U.S. gives assurances it won't seek the death penalty a 30-year-old policy that rankles some American prosecutors and enrages victims' families.

I've been aware of this for years. A colleagues daughter was murdered some years ago in a drive-by shooting by a couple of "undocumented immigrants" out committing the homicides Americans won't commit. The two gang-banging scumbags flitted south to Mexico, where they have escaped justice for years. And not only did the Mexican government insist the death penalty come off the table, they also demanded an upper limit on the prison sentence in advance -- and let the one guy they caught walk free after the prosecutor and family balked.

Mexico, you see, doesn't care about dead Americans -- or any other consequence of its policy of encouraging Mexican nationals to break American immigration law.
