A big earthquake with the strength of 8.1 on the Richter scale has
hit Mexico. Two million Mexicans have died and over a million are
injured. The country is totally ruined and the government doesn't
know where to start with providing help to rebuild.

The rest of the world is in shock.

Canada is sending troops to help the Mexican army control the riots.

Saudi Arabia is sending oil.

Other Latin American countries are sending supplies.

The European community (except France) is sending food and money.

The United States, not to be outdone, is sending two million
replacement Mexicans.

Jim doesn't seem to have a problem with a joke that starts "Two
million Mexacans have died". He must know some rib-ticklers about the
Holocaust.

The holocaust was real, while the Mexican earthquake (as one finds out
in the punch line) was fabricated for the purpose of creating the
dichotomy which makes the joke funny, you miserable, humorless wretch.

Only an idiot with a thoroughly defective sense of humour would find
that particular punch-line funny.
Only an idiot with thoroughly defective moral sense would find it
appropriate to fabricate a joke around the death of a couple of
million human beings.

Such an idiot is obviously willing to pontificate about other people's
sense of humour, but if they were just slightly less stupid, they
wouldn't bother - who's going to pay any attention to their opinion?

But. I could be wrong...  

Unexpected evidence of insight.

You probably find humor in 9/11 or, at the very least, "It serves them
right."

Back to completely wrong. There was nothing funny about 9/11, and none
of the people killed had done anything to deserve it. There are people
in the American heirachy who should go before the International Court
of Justice for crimes against humanity (which is persumably why Dubbya
claims that that court has no jurisdiction over US citizens), but even
that wouldn't justify a perfectly selective terrorist attack that only
took them out - I don't believe in the death penaly when it is imposed
by a properly constituted judicial system, and I'm even less
enthusiastic about free-lance murder.

As a Texan you presumably approved of Dubbya's habit of approving the
execution of the intellectually challenged in the pursuit of political
popularity with the morally challeged right wing voter - people like
you, in other words.
