No Independence For Andrew Tahmooressi
INVESTOR'S BUSINESS DAILY ^ | July 3, 2014 | IBD EDITORIALS

Border Justice: While armed Mexican police and military have crossed the border hundreds of times in recent years, sometimes firing at U.S. agents, a Marine with PTSD spends his Fourth of July in a Mexican jail.

Lately it seems that Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi, a Marine who has done two tours in Afghanistan, is the only one President Obama doesn't want crossing into the United States from Mexico.

We tolerate armed incursions by Mexican authorities and a flood of unaccompanied minors and other illegal aliens but are quite content to let a Marine with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder who made a wrong turn on his way to San Diego twist in the breeze of the Mexican judicial system.

Tahmooressi has been held in a Mexican jail since March 31, when he was arrested after poor signage caused him to accidentally cross into Mexico. In his truck were three legally purchased guns.

On June 30, Fox News reported, his mother sent a letter requesting an expedited review of the case and help in getting Tahmooressi released to U.S. Ambassador to Mexico E. Anthony Wayne.

This is an Obama object lesson: Defect to jihadists and we’ll trade terrorists for your return and you’re a hero with $300,000 in back pay and full benefits. Serve your country honorably but get caught with a firearm you rot in a Mexican jail. Here endeth the lesson.
