Free Tyrone Williams - Why Not?

On VDARE, Bryanna Bevins has commented the case of Tyrone Williams, who is facing the death penalty for his role in the deaths of Mexican immigrants who were smuggled over the border. The Mexicans who were involved are not facing the death penalty, becasue they are in Mexico, which refuses to extradite people for death penalty offenses. Apparently, more recently one of the criminals in custody in Mexico
has been set free, although three others, US citizens, are still in the pokey.

My feeling?
Free Mr. Williams.
The people who died were all Mexicans, as I understand it. Our government has no obligation to them, particularly if their own government doesn't care to prosecute those that killed them.

We should tell Mexico, "You don't care about your people? Then why should we? We have enough to worry about prosecuting those who kill US citizens and other legal residents, we can't afford to spend time prosecuting those who kill illegal immigrants, at least not if you try to put up roadblocks.
A very public release of Mr. Williams along with a very public statement that we have decided that the dead Mexicans aren't worth prosecuting someone over, SPECIFICALLY BECAUSE Mexico itself doesn't care, would do a whole lot to put pressure on Mexico.

(Preferably this should be done before jeopardy is attached, so it can be done "without prejudice," that is, so we can decide to try him at a later date if the Mexican government comes to its senses).

But seriously, I think that any country that refuses to extradite murderers to the US because of squeamishness about the death penalty ought to be told that we won't protect their citizens from murder when they are in the US. It's time that they were made to pay the penalty for their decisions on OUR murderers.

That is all.
