Should Texas kill illegal immigrant?

What kind of treatment can an American expect in foreign countries... pretty sure I wouldn't wait 10 years to let them know my citizenship.

Yeah, kinda funny, he can rape and kill...then as soon as he finds out he may get the same he goes crying to the Mexican consulate

When in Rome do as the Romans. Kill the SOB.

Okay...I hear he only claimed to be an immigrant AFTER his confession.

Look....the guy raped and killed two people. There is no doubt about it. I say waterboard him for 24 hours, then kill him.

Should let the fathers of these girls in a locked room with this douchebag and go to lunch

Should Texas kill illegal immigrant?

No. No further discussion necessary. No.

Guess it doesn't matter now...

Good for Texas.

While I am not in support of the death penalty I do believe that they should either use it or lose it if it is to remain a law of the land. Too many convicted death row inmates are living off of baseless appeals.

This makes no sense. You don't support the death penalty, but you'll capitulate your beliefs if they'll just use the death penalty more quickly and avoid the wasteful appeals process, when the only problem is that the inmates sit on death row in a state that resembles life - which is what you want them to do in the first place, i.e. to live. Living off baseless appeals is what is keeping them alive - but that's a bad thing because you're for, no wait, you're against the death penalty. You've got me really confused.

Yep the world is a confusing place.

The DP is the law. So use it or lose it. Governors won't execute people on death row because of the political out cry not. So clean out death row or reduce their sentences to life in prison and abolish the DP.

We should put them to work adding air to government vehicle tires.

They would just tax us more for the air.

But that's not what you said. You said you don't support it. I really don't think you've put a lot of thought into the question of the death penalty. If you support it, fine. We disagree. But you say in one breath that you don't support it, and then flippantly say, basically, "let's fry 'em and get 'em off death row because it's the law ".

The death penalty is revenge, pure and simple. It does not deter anything or anyone. It's racially biased in its use. And puts the work of God in man's hands. Vengence is mine.

I hear what you are saying.

What I am saying is that I respect the law of the land even if I morally oppose it.

So why have a law and not use it? If you are not going to use it then do away with it.

Let me tell you how it will be;
There's one for you, nineteen for me.
'Cause I?m the taxman,
Yeah, I?m the taxman.

Should five per cent appear too small,
Be thankful I don't take it all.
'Cause I?m the taxman,
Yeah, I?m the taxman.

(if you drive a car, car;) - I?ll tax the street;
(if you try to sit, sit;) - I?ll tax your seat;
(if you get too cold, cold;) - I?ll tax the heat;
(if you take a walk, walk;) - I'll tax your feet.

Taxman!

'Cause I?m the taxman,
Yeah, I?m the taxman.

Part of the law is the appeals process!! It seems that you're forgetting about that part, and you just want to apply the easiest.

I've got no problem with respecting the law. I respect laws I'm morally opposed to as well. But I'm not going to encourage you to burn flags, kill babies in their 7th month, or raise my taxes in the middle of a weak economy. Nor would I ever encourage you to employ the death penalty, no matter how broken the appeals system is.

There are DP inmates whose guilt is not in doubt. These are the ones that should be executed as per the law.

Just to use another emotional example. Per your statement above do you agree with what people who are opposed to abortion (Roe vs. Wade) and how they have bombed clinics, the fed gov has with held funding for clinics and education?
