Quote:Hmmmm.... I will look more into it on my own but I guess I see your point about the double standard. Typically I am on the, if it's a crime than it's a crime side but I suppose if it was clearly an accident then I would think differently since nobody was harmed. How long is he being held for?

This apparently happens all the time at the border with Mexican law enforcement and military.  They cross the border armed pretty regularly.  In most instances, they're simply allowed to return.  Sometimes they're processed, then sent back to Mexico, but they're never detained. 

 

There are also incidents where Mexican military are used to help cartels escort the drugs across the border.  They're heavily armed, but even then, they're not detained.  They're sent back. 

 

Meanwhile, a guy who made a truly innocent mistake after a night of partying in Mexico is rotting away in a cell south of the border while our government refuses to lift a finger.  The state of Florida and the attorney general here has done more to try to secure his release than the administration.
