Examples of Mexican in a Sentence
Attorney General Loretta Lynch:
Look at the number of cases he's involved in ... which cover several years' worth of his criminal activity on behalf of Sinaloa Cartel, in fact, the depth and breadth of his criminal organization, the amount of money he has siphoned off of Americans who are addicted to the poison that he peddles. Obviously, he's a very, very important target for us. And again, we await the results of the Mexican court.
I knew that I wanted to do something really big, something very colorful, not only a dress I wanted it to like represent me and be a part of me because I didn't just want to do a regular old prom dress, i wanted it to be a part of me. So, with that, I took a lot of inspiration from my Mexican culture with folkloric dance and those types of dresses.
Because he is a high-profile drop-out targeted by the Mexican Mafia, Mr. Enriquez's parole poses a serious security risk to him, his family, his parole agents, and the community in which he is placed.
What can be simpler or more accurately stated? The Mexican Government is forcing their most unwanted people into the United States. They are, in many cases, criminals, drug dealers, rapists, etc., this was evident just this week when, as an example, a young woman in San Francisco was viciously killed by a five time deported Mexican with a long criminal record, who was forced back into the United States because they didn't want him in Mexico.
I don’t think the Mexican government is really doing that much, i’d like to know what happened.
