So our last report saw Mexican troops invading our borders -- even drawing weapons on our agents on U.S. soil -- and facing absolutely no consequences by the Obama Adminstration.
But let one American make a wrong turn into Mexico -- and there will be hell to pay.
That's exactly what happened to a U.S. Marine veteran last month, after he accidentally drove into Mexico with three legally owned guns in his truck. And he has been rotting in a brutal Mexican jail in Tijuana ever since.
California Republican Rep. Duncan Hunter sent a letter Friday to Secretary of State John Kerry asking him to secure the release of Afghanistan war veteran Andrew Tahmooressi, who had just moved to San Diego from Florida and had all his belongings in his truck, including his pistol, shotgun and rifle, when he missed the last U.S. exit on April 1, forcing him to cross the border.
Road closures because of checkpoints and construction added to the confusion, and there was no opportunity for drivers to turn around, Hunter added.

I took the IQ test to be a Marine but I failed it. Scored to high and had to join the Navy instead.
The Air Force is the most strict on this matter. The Air Force allows less than one percent of annual enlistments to be recruits without a high school diploma. The Marines have the next highest standards. No more than five percent of Marine recruits can be GED-holders. The Army allows no more than ten percent each year, and the Navy limits GED enlistments to no more than five to ten percent each year.
** Most difficult and longest boottcamp—Marines.
Oohrah! L yeah! Wife will kick others arse! :p ;)
Marines are still the dumbest, by far.
Marine wife exists to kick wuss Navy butt. Neener!
My finest reply ever—BAH! Marine kick Navy arse up and down road! :p
It doesn’t seem right to call him names.
What does seem right is our government getting him back. It seems like a real stretch to think we couldn’t.
Marine will rock your world. Best of the bestest.
Don’t think so. Obviously you’ve had a information deficit. So sorry, squid.
If that’s your best reply then you are a Marine and you suck
I did not call him a name. I said he did a dumbass thing. Not that he is one. Of course the govt should try to get him back.
The Marine’s mom was on Beck today for 1/2 hour.
Poor guy will be lucky to get out in a year with the assclowns we have running the State Department.
At least Dear Leader found time to meet with the Seattle Seahawks yesterday.
Our government treats illegal alien felons better than our vets.
I keep weapons in my truck all the time and I have enough sense to realize if I might be getting into a situation that could land me in jail - especially one in Mexico...Mexico, a foreign sh!thole.
IOW, I know when I am carrying and/or transporting legally. Even if I got thrown in a US jail while legally carrying/transporting but tying up traffic, etc. it is better than disappearing in Mexico, deserted by Obama’s government.
I am also old enough to know that your government will desert you in an instant, AND that Mexican authorities would delight in some major screw up I might make. I think about police locales in different cities I pass through all the time.
He’s a vet (I am one, too) and that’s too bad he ended up like this, but should have known better and he should have just stopped before crossing.
Don’t blame me for his screw up.
