Don't mess with Texas...especially if you're a murderous illegal alien gang member.

In June of 1993, two young girls--16-year-old Elizabeth Pena and 14-year-old Jennifer Ertman--were walking home when they stumbled into a gang initiation. Members of the gang--Mexican citizens illegally in our country--raped the girls for over two hours and then beat and kicked them to death. STORY HERE
Tomorrow, the State of Texas is going to execute Jose Medellin for his role in that unspeakable crime.

This has of course sparked outrage from the usual sob-sister "save-the-criminal-and-screw-the-victim" groups like Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, and other groups made up of elitist liberals who think that it's chic and fashionable to bawl crocodile tears for the worst of the worst and who will almost certainly vote for Obama when they get a chance. It's also caused the United States to be criticized--and sued before the World Court--by the government of Mexico.

Mexico, you see, doesn't believe that we here in the United States should prohibit any of their citizens from crossing over into our country at will, nor do they believe that we should discriminate between Mexicans here in violation of our laws and American citizens...unless, of course, that Mexican illegally in our country commits a heinous crime that would result in a death sentence for an American. In that case, Mexico demands that we discriminate and not execute their citizens. Jose Medellin is one of 51 Mexican murders currently under sentence of death in this country. And Mexico has taken it's fight for him to the United Nations and the World Court, which ruled that Texas could not execute him.

Admirably, Texas told the World Court to pound sand. Medellin committed these murders in Texas, not in Mexico or any part of the world that the World Court has jurisdiction over. Texas only recognizes one court higher than it's own state courts, and that's the United States Supreme Court, which has already given Medellin's execution the go-ahead.

President Bush--ever the friend of Mexico--has also urged Texas to call the execution off. Texas respectfully declined, citing their right to enforce their own laws irregardless of race, creed or national origin. Medellin's going to die tomorrow and that's nothing more than Justice and deserved partial closure for the families of those two girls. (Several of Medellin's illegal alien co-conspirators received lesser sentences due to their age at the time. Another one is also on death row.) There may be protests in Mexico tomorrow, but they won't hold a candle to the protests that we in America have staged in response to the uncountable depredations against American citizens in our own country committed by Mexicans who have illegally entered our land and who all too often have not been removed by our government and who have even been sheltered by cities such as San Francisco.

Americans deserve justice when murderers prey on our kids, and that justice should be equally applied no matter if the killers are Americans or foreign nationals. And if Mexico objects to us executing their murdering citizens, perhaps they'd do well to stop protesting our border walls and start building their own walls designed to keep their criminal offenders from entering our country in the first place. After all, we can't execute them if they never come here and murder our citizens in the first place, can we?

Oh--and World Court? Screw you. This is OUR country and the U.S. Constitution and the U.S. Supreme Court hold sway here, not you. And besides, if it weren't for America and the sacrifice of over 400,000 Americans, you'd be conducting court business in German and/or Japanese today.
