Do we need any more reason to boycott Mexico? They let the illegals flood into our country without lifting a finger. They let drug cartels run free. And now, Sgt. Tahmooressi has been sent back to prison by a filthy Mexican judge while Obama remains silent.

A Mexican judge has ordered Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi back to prison after the U.S. Marine made his first appearance in front of a federal judge Wednesday on charges that he illegally crossed into the country with firearms.
The news comes after a bipartisan group of U.S. lawmakers sent a letter requesting his immediate return Wednesday. Tahmooressi has now been imprisoned in Mexico for 101 days.
The 26-year-old veteran of two tours in Afghanistan, who was being treated for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder related to his combat, says he accidentally crossed a California border checkpoint late March 31 and could not turn around before reaching the Mexican government checkpoint. Tahmooressi was in San Diego for treatment related to his PTSD and had all his possessions in his car, after previously moving from Florida. Despite declaring his three-registered weapons to agents at the border, Mexican authorities charged him with violating their gun laws.
On Wednesday, he made his first official courtroom in front of a judge. It was not immediately clear what he said during the private hearing, but his lawyer Fernando Benitez said he was confident things were headed in the right direction, despite the judge’s order to keep him imprisoned, Fox News reported.
