Quote:I think part of what is being left out in this whole story is how exactly it happened.  He had parked his car on the U.S. side of the border, and walked across into Tijuana for a while.  When he came back to his car it was dark combined with the road signs in the area being in disrepair.  He entered the interstate wrongly, and by the time he realized his mistake it was too late (impossible) to turn around since all lanes of travel are blocked by concrete barricades.

 

It's not like he was out in the desert and "made a wrong turn" and ended up in Mexico.  It's not like he intended to enter Mexico with firearms in his possession.  It was a mistake, one that he confessed to immediately.
