    Agreed! But what, we think, doesn’t matter. I still stand by my comment that she was being disingenuous and regardless of what port of entry you apply at, there will be questions about your travel trail and other deets. The officers have a great deal of discretion, so one officer may differ from another as to whom they let through.

      Yes I definitely agree here. I appreciate you taking the time. I don’t disagree with her denial, it’s the detention that drives me nuts.

      I think that the issue was that she was at a land border crossing. They couldn’t just put her on a plane and send her home. They put her into the system and it took them two weeks to deport her.
