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."
"When a Mexican, or any other citizen, crosses a boarder, 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.

"When a Mexican, or any other citizen, crosses a boarder, 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.

This doesn't make sense to me. He should been asked to clarify more. If someone does something illegally isn't that a crime??? Or perhaps he is viewing it due to the way the current administration is handling illegal border crossers as if they aren't breaking any laws?
