US released Mexican soldiers quickly, yet our President wont ask them to release a Marine for accidental border crossing

No, he would be quarantined in the US and not put in a flying tin can for 8 hours with other people.

Tahmooressi's best hope is that Mexican courts find him such a PTSD basket case that he's not responsible for his actions. A PTSD finding gives the court an easy out - but the defense has to weave an argument between between he's innocent/it could happen to anyone/border guards are corrupt and our client is a special case with mental issues. Of course, once he is released, his defenders will still insist on his right to own weapons and keep them unsecured in his truck.

The border is much more than check points. The fact remains Mexico does not have many illegal aliens from America. America is loaded with illegal aliens Mexico does a much better job enforcing its immigartion laws the we do

If you ever want to shut the conservatives about their illegal immigration and its evils, like they don't take advantage of cheap house help) just mention that the penalty for hiring illegal aliens should include jail time...... They'll shut up and run away LOL I tried that already and it works evah and every time. LOL

It is all a game and the pawns are the people and the players are the members of the two Parties, sad thing is pawns rarely know that they are.

Different situations.
