Jason Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Jogger accidentally crosses U.S. border from B.C., gets detained for 2 weeks There aren't any signs that warn you that you're about to cross the border. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 She was in Peace Arch Park, how was she unaware she was near the border? There are definitely signs around the park indicating which country you are in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are definitely signs around the park indicating which country you are in. I imagine it has something to do with the fact that she's from France, and also that while there may be signs, you would normally expect an international border to be highly visible (more than just a sign). I'm just speculating though, it would be nice to see actual pictures. Regardless of that, holding her for two weeks does seem excessive.

Nokra Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Yeah regardless of how well demarcated the border was, 2 weeks' retention seems very excessive and inefficient. As soon as the mother provided the necessary documentation that seems like it should have been the end of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been to the park before and it seemed exceptionally clear, but the article also says she was visiting her mother to work on her English so what is apparent to a native English speaker might not be to a non-native English speaker. It seems like the hold up was in the communication between the US and Canadian immigration services, but the article is pretty sparse on details.

TheLeon Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Gotta be tough on ‘em. Otherwise all Mexicans will need to do to cross the border is slap on their Lululemons and put their iPhone in their armband. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
