In an article I found interesting on CNN's website http://www.cnn.com/2009/US/11/01/mexico.us.extraditions/index.html
Apparently Mexico sent 11 people back to the US over the weekend. 4 were charged with drug related crimes and the rest were charged with sexual assualt, robbery, murder, etc. The states involved include California, Texas, Florida, Maryland and DC.
The total extraditions for this year from Mexico to US is 100 which is 5 higher than last year.
People who are for increased extradition say that US gives more severe punishment.
I think the article should be more specific on the crimes committed and it should tell the city involved. I also think that they are wrong when they say that US has more severe punishment, or maybe it just means more severe legal punishment, cause I always thought it was worse to go to jail in Mexico than in the US.
