After a celebration in Mexico, two priests are gunned down on a highway

Two priests were returning home from a religious celebration in a small town in southern Mexico on Monday when a vehicle suddenly cut in front of their van, blocking their path.

It was then, authorities said, that unknown assailants pulled out guns and opened fire. The priests, Ivan Añorve Jaimes and Germain Muñiz Garcia, were killed. Two men and two women traveling with the priests were wounded, authorities said.

The early morning incident on a winding rural highway drew condemnations from the local Catholic diocese and the governor of Guerrero state, where the town of Juliantla is located. It also underscored the threats faced by clergy in Mexico, where in the last five years, 21 Catholic priests have been killed.

It's gotten so bad, I've started to just pass by the usual tales of violence, say like this story. It's beyond repair currently. Maybe someone can shape up the country.

There are a few million illegals here that supposedly want a better life that could.  However, there's some kind of moral imperative that necessitates we figure out a way to keep them here and give them citizenship someday.
I disagree.  Circle gets the square.

The problem is that there are a few million illegals here that say they want a better life, but just bring and foster the same third world violence here. I see a moral imperative that we root those out, insure they never get citizenship any day, and boot them back to where they came from. Does that make a bad person...............or just sane?
