Getting to Mexico is a way of escaping the death penalty. Mexico refuses to send anyone back to the United States facing the death penalty. Mexico is 100% hypocrisy. No wonder all the Mexicans are trying to get out. Mexico has one of the highest murder rates in the world. No civilian may own a gun larger than .22 caliber, and a permit is required to buy one. However drug gangs have AK47s, grenades and rocket launchers. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080117/ap_on_re_us/fleeing_to_mexico
