    Reportedly, he has crossed the border into the USA. Does anyone remember when escapees ran to Mexico to get away from the law.

    Back in the old days or at least in the cowboy movies, the rustlers and crooks would head for the Mexican border to evade the posse. I think the idea was that you could hide out in Mexico and no one would bother you.

    I guess things have changed today when the criminals head for the USA border because no one will bother them here.

    I can't make this stuff up.

Here is a link to the good old days.
