Mexican Embassy: Mexicans 'Illegally' Crossing U.S. Border 'Are Not Committing a Crime'
2014-06-19
"MRCTV talks to protesters calling for the release of U.S. Marine Andrew Tahmooressi outside the Mexican Embassy - where a spokesperson for the Mexican Embassy tells them illegal border crossing is "not committing a crime."
It's not illegal under Mexican law to wander, all unofficial, into the U.S.? That makes sense.
"When a Mexican, or any other citizen, crosses a border, let's say illegally, they are not committing a crime. They are doing it illegally, but they are not committing a crime. No, they are not. Check your law," Public Affairs Minister Ariel Moutsatos-Morales says."
Maybe some Mexican diplomats should be taken into, er, "protective custody" until our Marine comes home?
Oh wait -- he means our laws aren't actually laws like other countries have -- Mexico, f'r instance.
