If the media, leftists and Obama think that we have forgotten about the border invasion and Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi being held hostage in a Mexican jail, they are sorely mistaken. Now in it’s 110th day, the Mexicans continue to hold Tahmooressi hostage. As emotionally draining as this has been for Sgt. Tahmooressi and his family, it’s now taking a toll financially too. Obama remains silent. This whole ordeal with the corrupt Mexicans has already cost him his life savings.

While Marine Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi was living on a base and eating MREs in Afghanistan and earning a battlefield promotion, his paychecks from Uncle Sam were piling up in the bank.
He dreamed of returning to Weston, Fla., when his second tour of duty ended and buying a new truck, maybe getting a place of his own. At 26, and with a modest nest egg waiting, he had a future back home.
Now Tahmooressi languishes in a Mexican prison, plagued by Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. And the $65,000 he saved in the service of his nation is gone, according to his mother.
“He has already lost all of his life savings,” his mother, Jill Tahmooressi, said. “When this is all over he will have nothing and will be facing an enormous debt.”Tahmooressi has been held since March 31, when he accidentally drove into Mexico at the San Ysidro, Calif., Port of Entry late March 31, after becoming disoriented from poorly lit street signs and being in a position on the road unable to make a last ditch U-turn. He was carrying all of his possessions, including three registered guns – legal in the U.S., but not in Mexico.
