[QUOTE="donner, post: 1567548, member: 277"] it's not a matter of him being illegal or not, nor is it about levels of immunity. The issue at the heart of the matter was whether he was denied his rights under the Vienna Convention because the local authorities failed to tell him he was entitled to consult his consulate for legal assistance. Many perceive it as an issue of state's rights vs. international treaties. Does Texas, or any other state, have to abide by international agreements that the US has entered into. The "think of the children" argument being made is will this open US citizens up to similar treatment when arrested abroad. [/QUOTE]
