I was appalled that his mother had to have a full unclothed search before she could see her son in the prison. I'm putting it politely so it gets printed.

It is shameful and beyond disgusting how the Pres of Mexico came here and insulted the US on immigration while this kid was forced to stay in his country for trumped up charges and under deplorable conditions.

The man had guns and ammunition when he entered a sovereign country in which guns are illegal. It's unfortunate that he didn't mean to go Mexico (or so he says), but he did so carrying contraband. If he was carrying drugs, would people here be so outraged?

I'm glad Mexico recognized his fragile mental state and released him. I hope to God this man will not be allowed to possess firearms in this country.

So the laws of a sovereign country mean nothing Cara? What would happen if you crossed the Canadian border with a cache of weapons and ammunition?

lol we have illegals crossing our borders daily with weapons and not treated the way this kid was treated.

And you are forgetting this kid was suffering from ptsd and paranoia. He made a mistake out of confusion. But the way our Gov't acted was deplorable. I am not going to sway my position on this and so I respect our difference of opinion and will leave it at that.

"No man left behind" pertains to the battlefield only. When arrested, Mr. Tahmooressi was not a POW nor was he active duty. As for the oft-repeated phrase that no one in our Government worked for his release - that's not true but only so much can be done when local laws are not followed. ETA I too am glad he's back in the US.

Well said Caravaggio, #15 and John #7.

I'm not asking you to change your mind. I'm just asking you why the laws of Mexico are not as important as the laws here.

If someone from Mexico or Canada was caught crossing our border with illegal firearms, would you agree we should just let them go? Why should Tahmorheesi be exempt from the laws of other countries? I realize he said it was a mistake. I take him at his word. But if the situation were reversed, would we accept the excuse and let the person go?

Again, this whole situation points to how lax our own gun laws are when someone in the mental state of Tahmorheesi can drive around with 3 guns and a hundred rounds of ammunition.
