What a piece of scum, drug dealers should face the death penalty. They destroy so many lives and I'm sure the drugs that he sold some where at some time has cost the live of a person. May he burn in hell.

Deuteronomy 28:

⁴³ “The alien who is among you shall rise higher and higher above you, and you shall come down lower and lower. ⁴⁴ He shall lend to you, but you shall not lend to him; he shall be the head, and you shall be the tail.

⁴⁵ “Moreover all these curses shall come upon you and pursue and overtake you, until you are destroyed, because you did not obey the voice of the Lord your God, to keep His commandments and His statutes which He commanded you. ⁴⁶ And they shall be upon you for a sign and a wonder, and on your descendants forever.

What a bunch of bull @!$%#! "The extradition of Arellano-Felix Friday marks a major development in the war on drugs along our border and signals the official end of the notorious AFO." There is always someone to take his place.

With the enormous amounts of money and the apparatus in place, just removing one man means nothing. There are thousands waiting to take his place and have already taken his place. The new president is going to buy peace with the drug gang and let them run wild, introducing easily more drugs and the drug culture in Mexico and the U.S. Obama wants to know where to put the returning soldiers? Right there on the border and use the illegals to put up a 30 foot concrete barrier, motion detectors, more dogs, and drones. Use the drug ankle bracelets that are now available for first and second time offenders. Prison time for the others. Obama sits on his thumb and does nothing to get the Latin vote!

Obama sits on his thumb and does nothing...

ofcourse1, this has been going on for decades, but of course you blame Obama.

What happened to his three brothers, already extradited? If he is responsible for murders, can't he be executed? Preferably with a chain saw, slowly! Chain saws can be used to saw off a head slowly, if controlled properly!

Don't you know, according to conservatives the world only began on January 20, 2009. Before that, absolutely nothing existed. I don't know where they got this from, I think they read it in a book? Maybe Glenn Beck? Anyway, that's what they believe!

Have we learned nothing from Prohibition? This guy is just the next Al Capone. And until we end the current prohibition, there will always be more Al Capones to replace him. Felix's capture changes nothing.

Well, here we go again.

Next chapter in the Game Of Whack-A-Mole !!

Push one down - Another pops up.

Neverending.

Tell me exactly what progress has been made on this so-called War On Drugs over the past 40 years with 2.5 TRILLION DOLLARS spent?

I'll tell you. Absolutely NOTHING. In fact, we've gone backwards.

----------

What is wrong is the arcane laws in the U.S. that have turned it into a police state.

The U.S. has the highest percentage of its population in prisons than any other country.

The U.S. continues to pursue its war on drugs that has literally become a joke.

You can no more keep drugs out of the U.S. than you could keep air out of the U.S.

The U.S. was founded on the principles of personal liberty and personal responsibility and yet you see no evidence of these concepts in modern-day America.

People should be free to enjoy the recreational intoxicant of their choice.

Just ask George Washington and Thomas Jefferson who both used, and grew and sold marijuana from their farms.

.

PeterB-778417 Read and Grow up! I spent 30 years in Mexico when it was peaceful and beautiful. Then the endemic corruption found that selling drugs was more profitable than ripping off tourists.

There is a saying in Mexico that today's Mexican politics is a mixture of the Aztec and Spanish corruption.

Obama is too stupid to spend time thinking how to tame the drug problem and illegal immigration from Mexico. I was asked to a meeting on money laundering and it is the easiest thing to do in Mexico, which is essentially lawless. Go to the tourist centers in Mexico and look at the huge number of unsold houses and condominiums. That's all drug money. Why haven't those projects gone bankrupt? Simple, they were made and put up with CASH! No bank loans to foreclose on.

Obama has been a socialistic do nothing president who fights not only with the Republicans but with his own party. He makes ridiculous statements and claims as his success actions of previous presidents. He is almost as bad ad "JIMMY" Carter. He has done nothing and cares nothing about the American population. Black male unemployment has doubled since he took office, yet the blacks will vote for him with 95% of their vote. If it weren't for the black vote, he wouldn't be president.

I believe that drug cartel leaders should all be dealt with as a threat to national security. But - that said, what laws did this guy break? Is it now against US law for a person in a foreign country to break a US law? What is our jurisdiction on this?

If I spit on the sidewald in Brazil, can Sinapore have me extradited for caning? If I burn a Koran in the USA, can Iran (or Pakistan) demand my extradiction to them for exectuion? What about bribery (common in most countries but illegal in the USA). Shall we demand the extradiction of all the mexican police? Or all the Italian telephone installers?

At what point is the scenario absurd? When does it stop being absurd?

Look it's simple guys and gals... The UN/USA and all other powerful allies don't want the drugs to be legal!!! They have them illegal for a reason! They use the drugs for the revenue. The DEA runs firearms across the border, in return the DEA gets dope to bring back to the states! When they get a little competition/someone not wanting to play THEIR way, they take THEM OUT!!! I just don't know why everyone's suprised, just think about it, anyone with a badge is on a power trip 9 times out of 10 and they do this to benefit. The USA owes so much money it's not even funny so they gotta have a BACKBONE, and the DRUG TRADE is even more so THAT! This country has been screwed as long as the mainstream media and government have been around to BRAINWASH IT! There's a select group of people who wanted this to happen, hundreds of years ago they planned on how to control millions/billions of people like cattle, and their answer was to give people what they desire to hear and see and feel. The real meat and potato's is infront of everyone and they bragg about what they do, for instance they admitted that al qaeda is working with them lol... Wow they really think we're stupid, they've been running al qaeda. Just look this up- Al Qaeda leader dines at Pentagon months after 9/11. That's when he was on the most wanted list!!! God bless the people, and Let's let them know we know what they're up to!

It's pretty funny yeah save the US a few bucks by the guy next to him shooting him by accident . Some comedy ,Mexico doesn't force drugs on the United States they only supply the demand fix that !!! Oh thats right give molesters 2-4 probation . Over a certain amount you get life in the feds .There should be more money going into education of our youth instead of fighting a losing battle . Teach kids dont punish by denying a quality education .Piss in the wind piss on your own leg .

Bombing Mexico into dust 30 years ago would have saved millions of lives and billions of dollars. The whole country is evil.

Oh look! We have something for all our wasted money. A token of their appreciation. End the costly war on drugs!

The same people who say guns don't kill people, people kill people - then turn around and say drugs kill people. Is every wine drinker a fall down drunk - nope. Same goes for every other drug - you either understand moderation and practice it, or you don't.

Ismael gets it - education is what works, not fear tactics.

and what is with these posts that claim they should just shoot the guy - that's the same mentality that he has....emotions trumping logic.

Leviticus 19:33-34

“When a stranger sojourns with you in your land, you shall not do him wrong. You shall treat the stranger who sojourns with you as the native among you, and you shall love him as yourself, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.

Matthew 25:35

For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me,

Exodus 22:21

“You shall not wrong a sojourner or oppress him, for you were sojourners in the land of Egypt.

This is for the bible quoting hypocrite up the posts.

sandtrich:

So if I go to an organization run for LATINOS ONLY, I will be treated like a king because I am a stranger to Mexicans?

BTW: Just how many Mexicans who claim to be Catholic actually support the Catholic Church in America?

They closed down the Catholic school at my Church after being in operation for over 80 years, because Mexicans don't seem to understand that you have to pay tuition, so most ran up a bill for 3 years then ran away. Seems like Mexicans would rather buy that $50,000 SUV than support the church.

I don't think I've ever seen a drug cartel not described as 'one of the most notorious'....

Dave, cartels make 6 billion dollars in revenue per year, I figure it's about time for me to start a "notorious" cartel. ;)

All kidding aside, you're right and the only reason why they are referred to as dangerous and notorious is to add fuel to the drug war fire...it's fearmongering and that is all.

Fearmongering, Not hardly, they'll kill anyone in a heartbeat. I guess what the Border Patrol is doing is working. When they're be chased they are trying to save the drugs instead of abanding it like they used to. I take that as a sign that somethings working.

Its time to legalize all drugs and put an end to the main source of revenue for these violent gangs.

Winner of the Most Retarded Comment of the Month award.

.it's fearmongering and that is all.

Finding 19 decapitated bodies in the middle of the street one morning is a little more than fearmongering.

Winner of the Most Retarded Comment of the Month award.

You know what is retarded? We have spent billions of dollars fighting the war on drugs, we have the highest prison population out of the industrialized nations and 2/3rds of the people in prison are there on drug related charges. Do you know how much money it costs a year to keep a person in prison? It varies obviously state by state but in some places, such as California, it costs abut 50,000 dollars a year. That is retarded. Lets decriminalize drug use and use that money for more useful things. Prohibition is retarded and doesn't work. Time to move forward and stop being stupid.

Its time to legalize all drugs and put an end to the main source of revenue for these violent gangs.

Great idea but two of those violent gangs, the CIA and FBI, need their drug money income. Then there's the DEA, Prisons for Profit, and other "judicial" entities that need their incomes too, so I guess this idea is dead before it'll ever be seriously discussed.

Unless more people demand it to be discussed

Anyone who honestly believes cocaine, meth and heroin should be legal is an idiot and/or a dopehead wishing his fix was easier to get.

Look, DEMAND CREATES SUPPLY. Are we not A FREE ENTERPRISE CAPITALIST COUNTRY? MORE people die from TABACCO SMOKING country and none has the balls to say anything about it? yet we blame the Mexicans for bring in what our kids smoke inhale and all that makes them feel GOOd

@!$%# the drugs, for all u @!$%#s who smoke cigarette's and push ur @!$%# stinking cloud of puke to those of us who prefer to breath clean air, death to all tobacco smokers, sooner than later.

LEGALIZE DRUGS??? Are you a fool? Can you imagine the rampant level of addiction and death that the legalization of hard drugs would cause? Heroin, Cocaine, Meth etc. are not the kind of substances that people end up using casually in moderation. They lead only 2 places, JAIL or DEATH! How many people started out a "casual" user and are now homeless I wonder? These drugs are dangerous and legalization isn't the answer......just look at alcohol. Each year the amount totals into the BILLIONS from the negative effects it has caused from DUI's to treatment, injuries, violence,etc.

I spent 6 years as a cocaine addict and 5 of those years also addicted to pain pills. Got married and got clean finally, but you know to main thing that did it? The guy I got my coke from moved and I ran out of money. If neither of those things hadn't happened, who knows how long I would have kept going. It was fun to do, and the only thing that got rid of my migraines 100% of the time. But I took a bank account with around $43,000 in it, down to empty. I made around $4000 a month, and spent around $1,100 a week buying pain pills in Tijuana. They literally FED EX them to you in zip lock bags...with just a phone call.

So no. There is a reason no country on the planet that has legalized all drugs. We simply cannot be trusted that much. Civilization would self destruct. If you think health care is bad or expensive now, add in 10+ times as many poor addicts into the system and see what happens. Read the thing about the Rio's favela's where the drug lords themselves have banned the sale of crack because of the effect it has on the people who it sells other drugs to.

It won't be enough.

Said the stoner.

I agree Dragonfly, but you need to remember that most of the pot, E and meth plus a very large amount of heroin come into the U.S. from canada. The remains of the drug kings need to be sent back up north as well. It is actually easier to bring the drugs down from canada than it is to bring them in from Mexico. The U.S./canadian border is a sieve. That is why terrorist and illegals from the middle east come into the U.S. from canuckistan. The 9/11 terrorist all came into the U.S. through canada. The last terrorist to come into the U.S. from Mexico and do any real harm was Panch Villa, and he was more of a bank robber than a terrorist. It is time we get tough on our border to the north as well as the south.

Sounds good, DT except for one minor fact. Those 9/11 terrorists who crossed over from Canada came into the USA legally. Few people sneak across the border from Canada so it's not at all a matter of more patrols or sophisticated electronics.

Pot comes in from Canada? Where did you hear that? Sounds like one of those urban legends that passes from bar stool to bar stool. As for meth, most of that is cooked right here in the USA.

Well nungman since I live not far from the U.S./canadian border, I hear it often on our nightly news. There tunnels like the ones that run from Mexico to the U.S. here, but more sophisticated. They even include AC. You have never heard of b.c. bud???

Most of the illegal aliens from the middle east and asia come in through canada. Those from china and vietnam come in from vancover b.c.

As for the 9/11 terrorist. They entered canuckistan illegally and than crossed into the U.S. It was easy for them because we think our cousins from the great white north will help protect us. Even hunters cross back and forth through canada. I know I have done it a few times. Most of the detection electronics on the canadian border don't work. That is fact.

Maybe it is time you get off that bar stool and see what is really going on. The threat comes from both north and south. It is not from just those dirty lazy Mexicans.

How about firing squads for the murderers in our government.

Mr. DTNICo1, I'm Mexican, I have my legal residence, pay my taxes and I'm not a dirty lazy like you set. You can offend a person but not an entire population. I live in the SouthWest of Texas and let me tell you that I'm a hard worker person, I have a part time job in Macy's and also I'm attending to my local Community College and I expect to graduate this semester. In fact, I will graduated with honors due my 3.4 GPA so I agree you can be mad with some dishonest persons (drug traffickers) but not with all Mexicans. In this battle against drugs we need to cooperate and share information to defeat these transnational organizations. Say No to Racism!

Mexicans are stealing the American resources meant to feed the American poor.

Why is it that the Chinese will execute anyone who pushes drugs in China but have no trouble with those who are pushing drugs on Americans?

Why are all the "proud Mexicans" living in the US?

As God sees it, why aren't PROUD MEXICANS FIXING MEXICO INSTEAD OF ESCAPING IT?

Franco83 sorry I meant to put that in " " as sarcasm. I know most Mexicans who come here are hard working looking only for jobs and will do the ones we Americans won't do. If the whites and blacks here didn't do drugs...most of our problems would be solved.

menoseeno that is like asking why didn't all the proud british stay in england and fix things instead of coming to the U.S. or the cubans stay there and fix things. Sometimes you have no chance so you have to move on. Plus there were Mexicans here before there was a U.S. or don't you know your history???

@DTNIC01 #7.1 and #7.3: (David N.'s wife here.) "That is why "you need to remember most of the pot, E, and meth plus a large amount of heroin come into the U.S. from Canada" and "The threat comes from both north and south. It is not from just those lazy Mexicans", blah, blah, blah. Well bud, before pointing the finger at others and from what YOU claim; assuming YOU are an American my advice to YOU is why don't YOU clean up YOUR own backyard first as 'the threat YOU speak of' appears to be within YOUR own country. Bottom line .... deducting from YOUR statement YOUR country has a populace of druggies so rather than have YOUR Military police the rest of the world (like so many Americans 'think' you do) why don't YOU clean up your own mess. No drug demand equals no illegal trafficking, no cartels! It is as simple as that. Oh, and as far as your Military policing the borderS, doubtful if you will ever see that happen as there is no profit in that. Have a great day!

@Nungman, what, you think Canada is all peaches and cream. My butt! A lot comes across that border.

As for the terrorist of 9/11. Canada knew they were in their country, but buy Canadian Law they had committed no crimes there so they could be there. They could fly out of there to the US and wouldn't have gotten past customs here though. So that left their only oppertunity, do or die, to act while the plane was in flight.

DTNIC01

that is like asking why didn't all the proud british stay in england and fix things instead of coming to the U.S. or the cubans stay there and fix things. Sometimes you have no chance so you have to move on. Plus there were Mexicans here before there was a U.S. or don't you know your history???

First of all: England brought the "industrial revolution" to the world. What did Mexicans do?

Mexicans were not in the lands now called the United States, Indians were. On every bit of the southwest that Mexicans claimed for themselves. Mexicans lured American immigrants to Texas to kill off the Indians in the 1820's then tried to kill off the American immigrants at the Alamo and Goliad in 1836.

Mexicans don't like Indians or foreigners. History proves that.

If Mexicans would stop breeding like rats, they would have had a decent country to live in. In 55 years, they quadrupled their population. Can you blame Americans for this?

DT, your hold on reality is as weak as your ability in written English. [Never heard of capital letters for Canada, China, Vietnam?] They have Spel-chek, even Grammar-chek for dropouts. Guess they haven't invented "Caps-chek".

Tunnels across the USA-Canada border? Show me one authenticated report, not something you heard from your huntin' buddies after a few cold ones. Why would they need AC if there were such? Heating would be more appropriate in that climate!

Yes the notorious "millennium bomber" crossed to the USA from Canada intending to bomb Los Angeles International. He drove over with his explosives at a border post in Washington State where he was apprehended on the US side.

BC bud, huh? That could only be grown indoors given the growing conditions in British Columbia. Think there's a lot left for export after satisfying the legal, medicinal market?

Now, Canada has played host to Islamic terrorists. They can exploit the language divide. Quebec has won some input in Canadian immigration policy and naturally it wants more immigrants likely to assimilate to the French culture. North African Arabs, educated in French, are, or anyway were able to gain admission to Canada whatever their militant group connections in their home countries.

And Canada being in the US Visa Waiver program has unwittingly assisted these terrorists in entering the USA. This means the US ICE no longer can look at a Canadian passport and assume its holder is not dangerous.

Mexicans WILL NOT EXTRADITE a Mexican to the United States unless the US promises not to seek the death penalty. Why? Because Mexicans are an endangered species according to LA RAZA..."the master race"!

WOW, you have made some excellent points! Yes, the USA has a far higher percentage of our citizens incarcerated than any other world nation, including China, Iran, Vietnam, Iraq, Laos, Yemen, Myanmar, Saudi Arabia, North Korea, Russia, Cuba, etc. Why?? Because our citizens demand draconian punishments, and have an obsession for vengeance and vindictiveness. We are devoid of compassion, mercy, kindness, empathy, objectivity, humaneness or sympathy when it come to crime and punishment. We let lynch-mob leader Nancy Grace convict people on TV without a trial, and with NO evidence. Don't you have a warm wonderful feeling nightly as you go to sleep, knowing your taxes are going to support such a medieval, regressive, uncivilized system?

E K Kadiddlehopper Grow up and stop being so stupid. The jails are full of criminals not political prisoners. In the countries you mention wealth and bribes get you acquitted or not even charged. Police are inept or corrupt. Crimes are not reported. And most important the countries are mostly small homogeneous areas that influence the people to behave. The U.S. is heterogeneous with large representative numbers from every other country in the world and the same natural influences which make the people behave in their own countries are not present in the U.S. In part it is great as freedom to think and act allows great thoughts, ideas and inventions but it also removes restraints on how to act and behave. Look up the crime statistics 75% of the people in jail, on parole, home restraint are black, immigrants or illegals. THINK!

Menoseeno,Mexico does not have the death penalty do to the stronghold of the Catholic church.

just a cleaning lady

Christians are, therefore, faced with a dilemma: when assaulted by
evil, they must oppose it through direct action. They have no other option. Any
failure to act is simply to condone evil.

Ethics... Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Dietrich Bonhoeffer was a Lutheran minister who plotted to kill Hitler in WW2 and was executed.

Good points, ofcourse.

However, wealth and bribes wouldn't explain the lower, much lower, incarceration rates in Norway, the Netherlands or Switzerland.

We are an advanced country technologically and politically but socially we are way behind those countries. The USA is both a nation of immigrants and an ex-slave society. Many of our immigrants come from places where there is little crime, like rural areas of Central and South America. But when they arrive here they find that to obtain cheap housing they must live in an urban slum, which virtually is a school for crime which the younger people or those born here of immigrant parents must attend.

That 'underling' is the leader of the pack. The extradition took years to pull off - according to the article.

I think we all know the timing is great. November elections, arrest. Hmm, let me think about this for a minute.

You need to step away from that bong.

winner123 To make a point first start on learning to use the English language. Second put in your comment some source or proof. You definitely are a last place loser.

Not Obama.

You can contrive anything in your mind and believe it. Murderers are all the same, it's just quanity of people they kill and how they do it. Guns, drugs, bombs, and Planes take your pick. In life we all take pathes that take us to our ultimate demise. What path are you walking and do you want anyine to blindside you on your walk through life.

But our laws define too many people as criminals. A person who smokes pot is not a criminal. A woman who sells sex is not a criminal. People who do not steal from others or assault others are not criminals. But the government says they are a danger to others even though they are not, and throws them in jail. This is injustice.

I'm sorry, but hookers and pot suckers ARE criminals.

As long as we define them as criminals we will fill our prisons with people who are not a threat to anybody. In New Zealand where I live hookers are not criminals. Pot is still illegal, but it has been largely decriminalized. America is not a free country anymore.

Wow: New Zealand must really be tough. In America, NO ONE IS IN PRISON for JUST hooking or smoking pot.

expatdownunda You must be something to have to pay for sex and buy marijuana to get your highs.

Off-course you are off course, I was talking about laws in New Zealand, not my personal habits. Personal attacks are not a good way to make your point.

Tumbleweed, a lot of people do jail time for both and are labeled with criminal records for doing it. These victimless crime laws have destroyed millions of lives. America is a tyranny.

Tumbleweed,

Sometimes breaking unjust laws is basic to getting those laws changed. If everyone took your approach, it would still be a criminal act to give aid to runaway slaves.

We wouldn't have extradited if we couldn't convict, he won't walk.

Really, Romney should have been in one years ago.
