Oh yeah,

reading the article more closely, her husband and Karen tried to illegally bring a CAR into Canada without the proper paperwork/authorizations. At least that's what the article says is the reason Canada sent them back to the U.S.

These people were FLEEING the U.S. because her husband, and she, were trying to go back to England and I assume hoping to evade U.S. border authorities who might notice his visa was expired.

They don't say how long his visa was expired.

The article does point out it was a work visa not a tourist visa, but that he decided to "retire and return to England."

So the whole story doesn't make a lick of sense.

Did he stop working or was laid off or fired at some point before this tale of woe begins? If so and the visa required him to be working for that particular employer to remain valid, maybe her husband was afraid to try to leave the U.S. on an expired visa by himself without her help. Again--not enough details, but it's all fishy.

So, he was working in the U.S., then his work visa expired, then he went back to England and retired, and THEN came back to the U.S. illegally with her??? No, that can't be right.

It sounds like they may have been separated at least because he was working in the U.S., she was in England.

But she's just a poor innocent tourist. Sounds like she was trying to smuggle him out of the U.S. into Canada or something.

How stupid do you have to be, or desperate, to try to drive from U.S. to Canada without proper paperwork (whatever that is--it was their job to know that) for your vehicle? I mean this story is actually pure b.s. if you bother to read it carefully.

She was detained or locked up or incarcerated because she was treated fairly and in accordance with U.S. immigration law.

She got very favorable treatment in the end.

Her arrogance and entitled privileged White European attitude screams through the entire story.

Why didn't they interview the husband "Bill" to find out what the heck was actually happening here?

You lefties really really need to start using your own brains.

Just a little.

It would do you a world of good.
