Apostolic Friends Forum - US Marine Jailed in Mexico

Ok, so while Democrats and some Republicans are pushing for amnesty for illegals; and while obama has released thousands of illegals who are felons, down in Mexico they've put a US Marine in prison there for accidently crossing the border.

Quote:

A newly released 911 recording of a former U.S. Marine sergeant to a dispatcher in the San Diego area could bolster the military man’s account that he accidentally crossed into Mexico with three registered firearms.

Andrew Tahmooressi, an active U.S. Marine reservist who served two combat tours in Afghanistan, was detained in the early morning hours of April 1st as Mexican officials surrounded his black Ford F-150 pick-up loaded with everything he owned – including three registered firearms – after he made a wrong turn and ended up in Mexico.

Tahmooressi’s mother and a number of U.S. lawmakers are fighting for his release from custody in Mexico, where he has been held in various prisons since his arrest, and believe the newly surfaced 911 recording is a crucial piece of evidence in proving the marine’s innocence.

“Hi, I’m having a little bit of an emergency here,” Tahmooressi told a dispatcher on the 911 recording. “I am at the border of Mexico right now. My problem is, I crossed the border by accident and have three guns in my truck, and they’re trying to possess, they’re trying to take my guns from me.”

I have no faith in this administration to do anything to help free this US Marine. After all, they're too busy dealing with all the scandals and trying to keep their stories straight to actually do something for this guy.

Well, the scandals and obama has called for specialists to join him to study concussions in sports. I mean, obviously there isn't anything else he could be doing.

Anyway, this guy is rotting away in prison for simply and accidently crossing the border, while we're over here giving people who purposefully cross the border free stuff and letting dangerous felons go.

This guy was moved to a different prison finally, because he was getting so many death threats he tried escaping and badly injured himself. Then he tried committing suicide.

Quote:

“He was in the general population, but when he called me it sounded like a riot was going on,” she said. “Gang hitmen told him he was going to be raped, tortured, killed and leave the prison in a body bag.”

These threats ostensibly led Tahmooressi to make an escape attempt by scaling a barb-wired fence, he has said. After being caught and having his wounds treated at Tijuana General Hospital following a self-inflicted stabbing, he was placed in the infirmary with his arms and legs restrained.

This guy is sadly on his own...like so many other Vets right now.
