Then again, people leaving Colorado crossing the border into Kansas can find themselves in legal trouble too.
Those border ruffians from Colorado could try to settle in Kansas and set up a pro-marijuana government. Just watch out for those zealous marijuana abolitionists! Things could get bloody in a hurry.
Fascinating YouTube video. Thanks for posting it. The white haired guy talking about 'the way it used to be' sort of refers to the spirit that I imagine must have been in place re the 'dog poop bags' I mentioned in a previous post.
How long has it not been "the way it used to be" as the white haired guy in the YouTube video put it ?
The requirement for Canadians to show a passport when entering the US began on June 1st. 2009.
Trump was President in 2014? Nope. That's when Mr. Tahmooressi spent his 7 months (not nearly 2 years) in a Mexican jail. He was released October 31, 2014. Trump tweeted, that's it, and the family spokesman said that they felt the tweets may have actually delayed his release.
And he wasn't arrested for inadvertently crossing the border, he was arrested for illegally bringing guns into Mexico.
He got in the wrong lane. You can't get out of the lane, you end up having to go over the border to do a u turn. I did it myself once
Obama made no attempt to get him out.
Yeah sure thing except for one little thing, when her mother brought the girl's ID to the ICE detention center she was sent away and told they have to be verified by Canadian authorities which is beyond strange. I have been to a number of Countries and have never been told that I had to have the US state department verify my passport.
Maybe you don't see a problem with the way this was handled but I do
What I am saying is that I don't know the protocol. I am not a Border Patrol Agent. They have procedures to follow. We have no idea of the behavior of the woman. We are judging the situation based on little information. We can wring our hands about it and accuse BP of ill will, but it doesn't change what was really going on there.
There was a thread not long ago telling people they should be carrying ID even when walking their dogs down the street. jogging around their own neighborhoods, etc. Papers, Citizen, whenever your step outside your own home?
Right after 9/11 we took our daughter to a hockey tournament at SUNY Oswego, NY. Stopping cars asking for ID? Oh, no, they were stopping people walking in the streets. It was mostly college students they stopped. BTW, this was before it was even required to have a passport to cross the Canadian border. How do you cross the border in that town? Swim across? Rowboat? The hotels in that town flew not only the US flag, but the Canadian flag as well. Cannot have THAT, right? Stay out, Canadians?
Are we now required to carry our Birth Certificates, and Marriage License as well for women, everywhere we go? Papers, Citizen?
she is required to have a passport and visa in her possession in both countries.
April 2016
"It may be the longest undefended border in the world, but it is secure, nonetheless. You need a passport and if you are neither a citizen of the US nor a Canadian resident, then you will probably need a visa, too. Penalties are strictly enforced.
The border is secure, and security is much more stringent since the 9/11 event. There is no way for a traveler to freely pass from Canada to the USA, and there is no way for a traveler to pass freely from the USA into Canada."
by the way, she was not deemed guilty by the border patrol, she was a suspect.
Signs warn anyone who crosses the border and does not report to a customs agent will be arrested and prosecuted. signs on both sides of the border. Good luck getting into Canada if you have any sort of criminal record other than traffic infractions.
