Comment Detroit-Windsor (Score 1) 448
We (as Canadians) should apply the same standards to Americans that US Customs apply to us.
Turnabout is fair play. And this is coming from a Canadian who actually likes America doesn't have the typical reflexive Anti-Americanism that most Canadians have...
When I go on the tunnel bus from Windsor to Detroit to go see the Lions or Red Wings, I am peppered with questions about have ever being denied entry, do I have a criminal record and even do I work for a living.... despite the fact that I am coming to the USA on a public transit bus to see a game. Where exactly am I going to go in downtown Detroit without a car? I am sure if I had a criminal record that US customs would have no problem denying me entry.
This is their right, but I just kind of find it ironic that me, who is a professional and a tourist coming to spend $$$ in an economically depressed Michigan is given a rough time, when the US has such a porous southern border and in the end is going to eventually give anyone who crossed illegally from Mexico amnesty and probably forgiveness on back taxes...
Talk about having your priorities messed up...
