border visit may 13, 2018

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.
