U.S. deploys 80 troops to Chad to help find kidnapped Nigerian schoolgirls, but shuns his own citizens

The United States has deployed 80 troops to Chad to augment efforts to find the Nigerian schoolgirls recently taken hostage, the White House announced Wednesday, a significant escalation of Washington’s contribution to a crisis that has created global consternation. Really!!! I don’t want to seem insensitive but Really!! We are to believe that Comrade Obama sees rescuing kidnapped girls in a foreign nation more a priority than getting our jailed or kidnapped Americans overseas. Take the most recent when U.S. Marine Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi held in a Mexican jail, 
Then there is Alan Gross held in Cuba 
Saeed Abedini who is being held in an Iranian jail 
These are just a few of the Americans held ILLEGALLY by rogue foreign nations. The difference between the Nigerian girls and these American men is Comrade Obama isn’t afraid to help those is weaker African nation such as Nigeria. But in military strong nations such as Iran Obama bows. Cuba is too close for him to upset and of course upsetting the government of Mexico only cost his Liberal friends the votes of Mexican Americans living here in this nation. Bottom line Comrade Obama picks and chooses who he saves and who he lets die. A President of this nation, the Commander-in-Chief should defend every citizen of this great nation, not defend those of other governments. via U.S. deploys 80 troops to Chad to help find kidnapped Nigerian schoolgirls – The Washington Post.

Mom of Marine jailed in Mexico says son ‘not a criminal,’ hopes for White House response

Theory is the Obama regime does not want to rock the boat when it comes to our Southern neighbor in fear of upsetting the Latino vote who can make an impact in the upcoming mid-term elections. If Obama put pressure on Mexico many here in America, illegals included could go against the Liberals in elections. Published May 19, 2014
The mother of a U.S. Marine being held in a Mexican prison on weapons charges told Fox News’ Greta Van Susteren Monday that her son is “not a criminal,” and she is hoping President Obama will respond to his plight.
Jill Tahmooressi said on “On the Record with Greta Van Susteren” that she recently saw her son Andrew after he was transferred to a new prison. She said she was able to bring him clothes and books but not food, and that her son told her he was always hungry.
Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi, 25, has claimed he was headed to dinner in San Ysidro, California on March 31 when he mistakenly wound up at a border crossing point in Tijuana. According to his mother, Tahmooressi said he made a wrong turn, and Mexican authorities found three guns in his truck.
In an interview on the Mexican border, Jill Tahmooressi told Van Susteren her son would have never intended of smuggling or selling his guns, adding he had them for self-defense.
“He needed those firearms for his own sense of security,” she said. “He never – not for any price – would he have sold those guns.”

Two drug tunnels, with rail systems, found at U.S.-Mexico border (Yeah surprising)

LOS ANGELES
U.S. federal agents have uncovered two drug-smuggling tunnels underneath the U.S.-Mexico border, both surfacing in San Diego-area warehouses and equipped with rail systems for moving contraband, officials said on Friday.
The discovery led to the arrest of a 73-year-old woman accused of running one of the warehouses connected to a drug smuggling operation, according to a joint news release by four federal agencies.
The tunnels were discovered as part of a five-month investigation by the so-called San Diego Tunnel Task Force.
Federal law enforcement officials said the first tunnel, which connects a warehouse in Tijuana, Mexico, with one in an industrial park in the border community of Otay Mesa, is about 600 yards long and is furnished with lighting, a crude rail system and wooden trusses.
The passageway is accessed via a 70-foot shaft secured by a cement cover and includes a pulley system on the U.S. side apparently intended to hoist contraband up into the warehouse.
The second tunnel was even more sophisticated, built with a multi-tiered electric rail system and an array of ventilation equipment.

OUTRAGE: U.S. Marine Being Held in Brutal Mexican Prison – For Making a ‘Wrong Turn’ (Video) | Top Right News

So our last report saw Mexican troops invading our borders — even drawing weapons on our agents on U.S. soil — and facing absolutely no consequences by the Obama Adminstration.
But let one American make a wrong turn into Mexico — and there will be hell to pay.
That’s exactly what happened to a U.S. Marine veteran last month, after he accidentally drove into Mexico with three legally owned guns in his truck. And he has been rotting in a brutal Mexican jail in Tijuana ever since.
California Republican Rep. Duncan Hunter sent a letter Friday to Secretary of State John Kerry asking him to secure the release of Afghanistan war veteran Andrew Tahmooressi, who had just moved to San Diego from Florida and had all his belongings in his truck, including his pistol, shotgun and rifle, when he missed the last U.S. exit on April 1, forcing him to cross the border.
Road closures because of checkpoints and construction added to the confusion, and there was no opportunity for drivers to turn around, Hunter added.
