Does this convince you we need to build the fence and limit immigration/movement between Mexico and the U.S.?

Since 1980, a treaty between the United States and Mexico has permitted either country to refuse to extradite citizens in the absence of urances that the death penalty will not be imposed. Until two years ago, American prosecutors frequently agreed not to seek the death penalty in order to have fugitives returned to their jurisdictions. In October 2001, the Mexican Supreme Court ruled that life imprisonment violates the country's constitution, and Mexico now interprets its treaty obligations in light of that decision. It is no longer sufficient for a prosecutor to waive the death penalty; now urances of a determinate sentence must be given. Currently, prosecutors must try to win extradition by charging a fugitive with a lesser offense that doesn't match the seriousness of the crime. a href="http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1282/is_2_56/ai_n13628975" rel="nofollow"http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1…/a a href="http://feinstein.senate.gov/03Releases/r-extradition.htm" rel="nofollow"http://feinstein.senate.gov/03Releases/r…/a a href="http://feinstein.senate.gov/03Releases/r-extraditionresolution2.htm" rel="nofollow"http://feinstein.senate.gov/03Releases/r…/a
