Thread Name: BS: Justice US-style for Leal?
Subject: RE: BS: Justice US-style for Leal?
Leal was brought the US by his parents when he was 2 years old from Mexico. He was 38 years old at the time of his execution. Do you have any idea how many undocumented people are living in this country? Should they be exempted from the laws of the country in which they reside and have resided for the vast majority of their lives? Or should they be punished for minor indisgressions and only become "foreign nationals" when they commit murder and are exposed to capital punishment?
