The media will be barred from the tiny Mexican federal courtroom where a U.S. Marine jailed for two months after accidentally crossing the border with three registered guns will appear before a judge for the first time today.

Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi has been held in two Mexican prisons since his arrest, one of which he tried to escape after receiving threats, according to his supporters. He'll go before a federal judge in Mexico's sixth-largest city at 9 a.m. local time. According to his Tijuana-based attorney, Alejandro Osuna, Tahmooressi will be afforded the chance to tell his story to the judge. The Mexican customs agent and soldiers involved in his arrest will also make statements.

Why?
He only reads the comics and the Gay Personal ads.
Since the USA is a Vassal state of Mexico now there not much he would do anyways.

He needs to be released immediately or something like Executive Outcomes needs to solve this.

Why hasn't the US stopped all money transfers from US banks to Mexican banks? Closed the nearest border crossing? Arrest and jail 100 Mexican invaders in the US for every hour he's imprisoned? Sent the US ambassador to that jail with Marine guard and take him?

Oh yeah, we've got priorities....like training and arming Christian-killing terrorists in Syria.

grrr......

Heckofa price to pay for one wrong turn.

But why any American would voluntarily travel to this sh*thole of a country for any reason is a mystery.

If bringing guns into Mexico is the issue, why don’t we trade Holder for him? Sounds win-win to me!

Well, Mexico certainly has border security.

No one mentions this irony.

The REAL problem here:

“Marine jailed for two months after accidentally crossing the border”

That we have a boarder with that country that is so poorly guarded that you can cross it by accident is in fact a disgrace!

Obama knows about this...he’s just too big of an asshole to give a damn.

He really is a world class jerk.

There were several times in American history that a border wall should have been erected:

(1) After the Mexican War

(2) After Pancho Villa raids

(3) After Operation Wetback

(4) After Reagan signed the 1986 amnesty
