Sunday, May 13th 2018. Afternoon. Roxham Road, USA
It was a quiet afternoon. Only three people crossed over. First came a taxi with a man from Sudan who had been living in the US for a number of years and a woman from Nigeria. The RCMP officer said to them: I am glad you speak English. You cannot cross here. You will be arrested. If you want to cross you must go to an immigration officer. The Sudanese man said : I'd like to take my chances to which the officer replied : Do what you have to do. They crossed over. A bit later an elderly Haitian woman with a severe limp crossed. She spoke only Creole (Haitian). She was told three times that she would be arrested. She showed her passport and then decided to cross over.
