But, as Chosen said-this soldier's reasons are irrelevent. I hope he gets back safe!Join our efforts to Secure America's Borders and End Illegal Immigration by Joining ALIPAC's E-Mail Alerts network (CLICK HERE)

He probably had a sticker on his windshield from a military base.

They need more guns in Mexico in the hands of the citizens that are law abiding. Right now Mexico is a blood bath and the cartels and government have all the guns and bullets and the murder and execution rate is sky high.
If the power and the guns were in the hands of the people, things might improve.

US soldier to stand trial in Mexico

CIUDAD JUAREZ, Mexico (AP) - A U.S. soldier has been arrested in Mexico and ordered to stand trial after he was caught entering the country with a pistol, a rifle and ammunition.
Twenty-five-year-old Spc. Richard R. Medina Torres was arrested Monday. On Saturday, a judge ordered him held for trial on charges equivalent to smuggling and weapons possession.
Medina Torres has called the case a misunderstanding. He said he entered Mexico with his personal weapons by mistake after taking a wrong turn on the highway. He says "I just want to go home."
Mexico has strict gun-control laws and is plagued by increasing drug-related violence. Mexican officials say most weapons used by drug gangs come from the United States.If your ILLEGAL...get out of my country...get out of my state...get out of my community...get out of my face!...otherwise, have a nice day!

I dare the Mexicans to do anything about this. I can tell you that if anything happens to this guy, people will pay the price. It will not be forgotten. We have not, nor will we ever leave our soldiers to the kangaroo courts of barbarian mogrels. The article is propagandistic because it spend a few lines diffusing things. Whether Mexico has problems with guns doesn't matter. Laws are not to be enforced or ignored based on current social feelings. They are intending to take away culpability from the Mexican authorities. They lured him into the country!
He asked them where he could turn around, they told him, then arrested him. Snively cowards.
Again, I would say he should have just laid into them with his m4, come to our side and sorted it out. The Mexicans gave up any rights they have by pushing for amnesty and promoting the breaking of our laws and the erosion of our soveriegnty. So there would be no way he would be sent back across.
Mexico should be warned that if anything at all happens to this soldier they will pay a dear price.

Car full of weapons lands US soldier in Mexican jail
Associated Press - May 9, 2008 7:45 AM ET
EL PASO, Texas (AP) - A U.S. soldier remains in jail in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, after he says he mistakenly drove across the Mexican border with firearms in his car.
Specialist Richard Torres was carrying a small arsenal in his car: An AR-15 assault rifle, a .45-caliber handgun, 171 rounds of ammunition, several cartridges and three knives.
The Fort Hood soldier didn't try to hide the weapons when he reached a Mexican border checkpoint. But he insisted he hadn't meant to cross the border with the guns, which in Mexico are restricted for use only by the military. He says he was looking for parking in El Paso when he inadvertently drove onto a bridge leading to Mexico and couldn't turn around.
Juarez is a border city where drug cartels pay top dollar for exactly the kind of high-powered weapons Torres had in his car. The U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives concluded that Torres wasn't smuggling weapons into Mexico to sell them.
But the Iraq war veteran continues to wait for a Mexican judge to decide whether to accept his account. Mexican prosecutors have said only that the arrest reflects the government's commitment to battling "every type of delinquency and organized crime."
