WASHINGTON ( WNB) - Conservatives are increasingly outraged that the Obama administration is attracting and sheltering thousands of immigrants illegally entering the U.S., while saying little about Marine Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi being jailed in Mexico for 101 days after inadvertently crossing into Mexico with several of his legally-owned firearms.
President Obama called Tahmooressi's imprisonment "maybe not the best thing," but defended his administration's lack of effort to get him released. "Look, it's not like he's a disadvantaged child seeking a better life - he's an adult with enough money to own a bunch of guns. C'mon."
The President later attempted to soften his comments, telling reporters, "I've notified the Border Patrol to keep a lookout for Sgt. Tahmooressi. If he comes across the border we'll see that he is well taken care of."
