news flash: mexico cooperates!

As covered here it seems that Mexico has bothered to arrest (another) criminal and former illegal alien. And this time it's a relatively high-profile case. But one could have guessed that given that the Mexican government actually took some action. But I disagree with Malkin's claim that "the case will bring front and center Mexico's role as a safe haven for illegal alien fugitive criminals." Well, I suppose that depends on your definition of "front and center." Will the legacy media pick up on this because the guy killed a Denver policeman? Nah, they'll just keep ignoring it like they always do when they don't like the potential (correct) conclusions someone might draw about illegal immigrants. As in most cases, it's much easier for the mediacrats to ignore the truth than deal with it.

And here's the catch to that cooperation bit--you knew there was one. They have him but they won't extradite criminals if our consequences could be too harsh. Well, too bad. Someone commits a crime here, they face the consequences here. Same as anywhere.* Geez, is that so hard? And somehow through all of this we're supposed to think Mexico is our friend...whatever. All we get from them are illegal immigrants and a couple of nice vacation spots. Oh, I guess they export criminal activity like murder too. And theft, if stealing jobs counts. Umm...yeay, we love Mexico!

*This brings to memory that case in the 90's about that kid in Singapore who spraypainted some graffiti in the wrong places and got caned for it. Our government was making a big deal of it at the time--hey, it was Billary--but in the end the kid got what he deserved. Good for Singapore, maybe we ought to obey their laws if we don't like their punishment. Same applies here and now.
