Marine Jailed For Driving Into Mexico With Guns
AP ^ | May 2, 2014 4:33 PM

A California congressman sent a letter Friday to Secretary of State John Kerry asking him to secure the release of a U.S. Marine veteran jailed in Tijuana after he drove into Mexico with three legally owned guns in his truck last month.

Republican Rep. Duncan Hunter said in the letter that Afghanistan war veteran Andrew Tahmooressi 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.

Never drive across into Mexico. Cross the median illegaly, go the wrong way on a one way, whatever it takes to avoid crossing over. Let them come after you for turning around at the border. You would rather deal with US authorities, get a ticket, or whatever, than to take your chances in Mexico.

The Mexicans are hypocrites. They come here to steal, rape and kill and think we should give them all big hugs for coming. An American goes into Mexico accidently due to the incompetence of a road construction company and the ***holes lock him up in a Tijuana ****hole. This is the second time this has happened. Barry needs to get his union boyz off their asses, finish the road and take down their orange barrels and crap.

Laws are laws.We have laws,Mexico has laws.If he did,in fact,break one or more of Mexico's laws he must expect to face the music.Many countries,both “civilized” and uncivilized (Mexico clearly being one of the latter) have gun laws that are far more strict than ours.We need to understand that.

Never drive across into Mexico

I take that advice four steps further...I've never entered Mexico by *any* means...and I've never even gotten within 300 miles of the border.

And never will.

Ask the POS Jeb is he feels the love in Mexico?

The poor Marine already was treated in the infirmary for a knife wound.

If he is white, I am sure Mexico will let him stew awhile and get what's coming to him

Words cannot express the loathing I have for Jeb Bush, this Marxist administration and ALL who support amnesty.

If I had my way, there would be a 50ft wall built along the entire border with shoot to kill orders for anyone trying to sneak across.

We hunted in Mexico a few years ago and we had to jump through hoops to take our guns in.

Laws are laws.We have laws,Mexico has laws.

You truly like to act high and mighty across many posts.

you are naive idiot.

Do you have the mental capability to understand that Mexico does NOT follow it's laws, that our government does NOT follow it's laws?

As it stands, their is not equal treatment before the law. There is essentially mob rule. You think the world operates anywhere near some idiotic ideal in your mind?

You say what you say because you are likely a puke from the DUmp that hates our Marines. You always post things that are anti-Liberty that excuse Statists.

You make me sick. Oh, the law is the law? So we should just accept and give respect to Mexico.

People like you disgust me. You have likely never had to stand up to true evil in your life. Go to the DUmp with your comrades.

The Mexicans should let this Marine go as a show of friendship with the U.S. on Sinko de Mayo. Oh, wait a minute. Mexico doesn’t celebrate Sinko de Mayo.

We should arrange a trade: Twelve million illegal Mexicans for one US Marine. Sounds about right.
