He’s an illegal Canadian. A canalien.

Morgan (who agreed to let us publish his photograph and his first name, but not his last name) is not the face of undocumented immigrants in this country.
Tall and white with a light-brown fauxhawk, Morgan, 27, looks more like a typical Portlander, someone born and bred in the nation of Bruce Springsteen.
With his piercings and tattoos, he might stick out in The Dalles or on the campus of the University of Portland. But on Northeast Alberta Street, where he sometimes hangs out, Morgan is just one more passing soul, an artist and a painter who skateboards or bikes to work because he can’t afford a car. “I’m just your average Joe,” Morgan. Morgan’s been in the United States—undetected and unbothered by federal immigration authorities—since fall 2002.
Quote:
He’s not exactly remorseful about leaving the North to flout U.S. immigration law. He appears to have company. The Urban Institute, a research group in Washington, D.C., estimates between 65,000 and 75,000 undocumented Canadians currently live in the United States.

They should deport his butt back to Canada and put his picture at every border crossing from Washington to Maine. He gets no slack from me, I don't care where he's from.

Canadian immigrants have no excuse to be in the US illegally. Canada has a strong economy and wages are about equal to the US. They deserve no sympathy.

If he hoped to get any sympathy from anyone, he lost that chance by hanging our flag upside down.

Grab his butt and send him home.
