Answer 1

Some illegal immigrants killed another illegal immigrant. Yeah, that sucks.
What does it have to do with respecting America and it's laws?

Answer 2

I'm pretty sure that's illegal in mexico too. Don't get me wrong here, I think all these men, if found guilty, ought to be executed. And I think that Illegal immigration ought to be enforced. But I just don't see how the two topics are related here. Americans commit murders all the time in America, and so do Mexicans in Mexico. The fact that some Mexicans commited a murder in America means they broke 2 laws but it does not necessarily prove your point. You would be far more accurate in pointing out the Mexican government's sanctioning and facilitating illegal immigration into the United States or their interference in our judicial system. But this case proves nothing.

Answer 3

Lets play a little game here. Im your english teacher and your the student. Im going to give you a F. I write in the lower right hand corner of your persuasive essay ,"It is absolutely immoral to generalize a complete race, based on events.". Next you go home and hardly think it over and come the next morning and tell me that I made a mistake and i deserve a spanking. How does that sound.?

Answer 4

it's pretty racist to say 'the Mexicans' ... yes, we have a big problem with illegal immigration, but that doesn't mean they are all bad ... most illegals try to avoid trouble at all costs

if you feel its that big of a problem find me a statistic that tells us the ratio of American citizens that commit crime to the number of illegals that commit crime ... I think you'll be surprised

crime is one problem ... illegal immigration is another ... it's obtuse to confuse the 2

Answer 5

Not really. I'm pretty sure that decapitation is against the law in Mexico, too.

Answer 6

how does killing someone disrespect their laws?!!! there are laws against murder in mexico!! if we charge these four mexicans with disrespecting america and its laws, then we must also charge every single american of european, african, asian, and every other country in the world's descent with the crime of disrespecting the country!!! this is a ridiculously racist comment that goes to show how people like you make other americans like me and my family look like DISRESPECTFUL idiots!! YOU disrespect america with these types of comments, you disrespect the millions that gave their lives to promote the equality that is the basis of our society!!

Answer 7

Stop the stereotype..I am sure Jon Benet's murderers were not Mexican and how about Nicole Simpson....or the Columbine killings....or even Jeffrey Dommer...
