This story is very confusing. The male perp was called Prince and the Border Patrol agent was called Price. (Or was it the other way around?)

It is helpful when starting a thread if you could type a brief summary along with the link.

And what you hope to discuss from it. And your opinion, if you have one.

Well, I think it's a great story. I've heard of folks' immigration paperwork being stuck in the bureaucratic pipeline, but potentially this is much worse.

My daughter and her boyfriend were crossing the Rainbow Bridge on foot a few months ago. A family stopped them on the bridge and asked if they needed any sort of ID to get into Canada. Then it occurred to them they wouldn't be able to get back into the US either.

I don't know what happened to them...they're probably frozen solid to the bridge.

No they didn't...they had no ID with them at all. Apparently they thought it would be a good idea to have a stroll across the bridge and back.

what were they thinking, Did it not occur to them that they had just crossed an international Border, hardly a stroll across a nice bridge?!?
I think that the POE officer told me that if I ever presented for entry with out my GC to the USA that I would have to pay $400+ for an admin check on me to make sure I was who I said I was, in order to gain entry to the USA.
Wonder if there is something similar for citizens?
