It is this reporter's opinion that about the time you think you've heard everything – the extreme of hypocrisy and wrongdoing in our dealings with Mexico – get ready for a shock.

NEWS ITEM: The first "International Crime Fighter of the Year" award will be bestowed upon Vicente Fox, President of Mexico, on Aug. 27, when Fox visits Dallas, Texas. It's the first time in the 52-year history of the Greater Dallas Crime Commission that they have given this award to an international figure. Fox was selected for this honor due to, according to the GDCC, "the great strides he has made in the war against crime in Mexico."

May I remind you ... this is the same Fox who refuses California the extradition of Armando Garcia, a Mexican illegal who shot and killed Sheriff David March after what should have been an uneventful traffic stop in Irwindale, Calif.

And this is the same Fox who refuses to extradite to the U.S. from Mexico at least 60 Mexican nationals, subject to the death penalty, who fled to Mexico after killing citizens of the U.S. (that figure only since October 2001).

Fox refuses to extradite Garcia and the others because Mexico opposes the death penalty or life imprisonment, and that would surely be the fate of these illegals.

But at the same time that Fox refused to cooperate in the above extraditions, he pleaded with the Texas court to grant clemency to co-national Javier Suarez Medina, who was scheduled to die for the 1988 murder of a Dallas police officer. Fox reportedly refused to meet with President Bush at his Crawford, Texas, ranch if Bush didn't succeed in halting the execution.

... and that's only the tip of the iceberg!

There are 54 Mexican citizens currently on death row in the U.S. Fox wants all of them commuted! And even as we report this, the wires bristle with a story of another wild shooting at the Santa Cruz boardwalk, leaving one dead and a police officer wounded.

Local citizens are beside themselves, saying their own area has become a war zone all but controlled by illegals from Mexico who perform their bloody tasks and flee to the protective arms of George W.'s friend, the newly honored "crime fighter," Vicente Fox.

FLASH BULLETIN: Fox canceled a trip to Texas scheduled for later this month, to protest the U.S. state's execution of a Mexican national. Nonetheless, Texas executed Suarez, 33, a Mexican citizen, earlier on Wednesday for the 1988 murder of an undercover Dallas police officer.
