I’ve written about the plight of U.S. Marine Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi for weeks now. It’s a sad story. It’s made even sadder by President Obama’s terrible trade for what appears to be a deserter and traitor, while he allows a true hero to languish behind bars in Mexico.
Tahmoorsessi is being falsely imprisoned by our “friend” and neighbor Mexico.
He’s been mistreated, beaten and some would say tortured.
I’ve already suggested what should be done to free this Marine hero - warn the President of Mexico that every option is on the table until we get our Marine hero back.
But assuming that Obama will never threaten the use of force (100,000 U.S. Marines at Camp Pendleton), I have another solution for him. A peaceful solution. A simple solution.
The president needs to announce that starting tomorrow our border with Mexico is closed. No one is going to or from Mexico. All business with Mexico is cancelled until our Marine hero is returned.
From this moment on all Americans should be asked to cancel their vacations to Mexico. Good luck to Cabo, Acapulco and Cancun. Everyone can switch to Hawaii.
Let’s make a wager on how quick Tahmooressi is returned. I’ll guess 24 hours or less. Anyone want to wager on the “over?”
Unfortunately, none of my solutions stand a chance of ever happening. Our esteemed commander in chief clearly lacks the common sense or intestinal fortitude to save one of his soldiers who willingly (and honorably) fought for this country. He’s too busy freeing Jihadist mass murderers in order to save deserters who hate America.
I realize that Tahmoorsessi’s father doesn’t speak Arabic.
I realize Tahmooressi hasn’t forgotten English.
I realize Tahmooressi doesn’t refuse to speak to his own mother and father.
Perhaps Tahmoooressi offends our president. Tahmoooressi just isn’t Obama’s cup of tea.
So let’s assume the border will never be closed by Obama. That might actually offend the Mexican prison guards who kicked our Marine hero in the ribs while he was chained by all four wrists and ankles to a filthy bed. That might offend the Mexican prison doctors who withheld food and water from him. We couldn’t have that in Obama’s politically correct, bow-to-foreigners world.
So let’s move on to more realistic, doable solutions. Given the fact that America is still a Republic, with a Constitution that protects States’ Rights, it’s time for our Republican border state governors to take a stand.
The governors of Texas, Arizona and New Mexico may not have the right to close the border, but they can help increase the odds of Tahmooressi’s release by setting up an "agricultural check-point" one block from every border crossing and staff the check point with ONE very slow moving inspection agent who is under orders to inspect EVERY vehicle that passes through. That agent should be ordered to ask every driver coming from Mexico to step out of the vehicle to be hand searched. He should check pockets for seeds that do not belong in the United States. Each search should be exceedingly S-L-O-W. Within hours the backup will stretch to Mexico City and we can all be assured that our hero Marine will be freed.
Gov. Rick Perry are you listening? Gov. Jan Brewer? Gov. Susana Martinez? This is your chance to show how a Republican leader defends and protects the citizens of the United States.
Tahmooressi's release should have been achieved many weeks ago, if this had been handled correctly by our president. But better late than never. My bet is we'll hear about his release this week. Why? Only because of the pressure put on by patriots and conservatives across this country.
So please keep the calls, letters and emails coming to Congress and the White House. Even Obama has to act under this kind of national outrage.
Hang on Tahmooressi. America is coming!
I’m still praying for his release and hoping for Congress to get involved. I’m willing to trade Obama for the Marine.
Maybe if we started calling him an American hating radical gay muslim who had an abortion and smokes weed...Obamalamadingdong would have him tomorrow.
The other idea is that the US should arrest and prosecute the members of the Mexican Army who incur our border on a daily basis. If it’s good enough for Mexico then it’s good enough for the USA.
Tahmoorressi is not Arabic. That is an Iranian Name and my guess is he is a Christian. As an apostate from Islam, he is of little concern to Obama.
The way to get the Marine home is to pressure Congress. Obama is a waste of time. He is perfectly willing to let a Christian Sudanese Woman get 100 lashes and be hung for being a Christian and he has as much concern for this marine.
Obama is an evil bastard. When will people FINALLY get the point?
So am I
Yeah you can bet that arrogant pos occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave would send Drones in if the Marine were a Muslim to get him free
How about strapping war surplus parachutes on thousands of the worst Mexican gangbangers in our prisons and start airdropping them on Mexico City daily until our Marine is returned.
The Mexicans have a grudge against U.S. Marines for what happened at the Halls of Montezuma in 1846.
Just stopping all remittances to Mexico from the U.S. would do it in a few days.
Sorry, but America is not coming. The America you put your hopes in died in Nov 2008 and the double tap occured in Nov 2012. I'd say wait until Jan 2017, but then Cankles will be president, so no. Forget it. Joining the military these days is for fools.
Or dump all those illegals in Acapulco instead of Phoenix...See what that does for the tourist trade.
Why not trade like 20 million Mexicans living in the USA for one US marine?
Now back in the OLD! Corps.....
See Marine Jim “Rats” article on how folks sometimes went about things...to use today’s terminology...back in the day...naw. I like OLD Corps much better...anyway the article is titled...It Happened One Sunday...
Dick.G: AMERICAN!
aka: Gunny G

He would.
bkmk
Obama brain Jarret thought this would be a bad Optical a military guy jailed over GUNS.
#SAD
If only Tahmoorressi could show evidence of having helped the Taliban, Obama would be interested in getting him freed.
