This week’s opinion column should garner me some type of “Friend of the Catholic Church” award from the Brownsville Diocese. Or maybe a visit from a NYC-based devout Catholic mob guy who hates newspaper people — who knows.
I’m sick of this national sovereignty stuff with us vs. Mexico. I say, just open up the entire border and completely eliminate it, and let the two countries merge into one. Call it Mexamerica or something even catchier maybe — Amerimex?
I have to admit, you have to have some serious mo-jo to murder a 96-year-old man in cold blood and then refuse to turn over the money you stole from him and give it to his rightful heir, his son.
Poor José (not his real name), the McHi grad. He just can’t catch a break on this side of the border. Okay, getting busted for pot trafficking (approximately 30 pounds) was probably on him; and okay, the second pot bust about three years later, approximately the same size load, was also on him; but the guy served his time (14 years) and paid his debt to society.
While many law enforcement agencies now have no-pursuit policies in place when chasing suspected “illegals,” the Texas DPS is apparently not giving up the chase.
