U.S. Court Interpreter Killed In Mexico After Being Held For Ransom

A Texas court interpreter who was kidnapped this month was found dead in Mexico after relatives failed to pay a $10,000 ransom, authorities said.

Jorge Luis Dieppa, who worked as a Spanish interpreter at the U.S. District Court's El Paso Division since 2004, also worked as a part-time lecturer in the languages and linguistics department at the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP), according to a school spokeswoman.

Just another reason why we need better border control. We are being invaded and the U.S. government is turning a blind eye.

@ 7:51, not that I disagree but, I'd like to point out that he was kidnapped in Mexico.
