Did they vote while they were there? Or is it too early to get some ballots ready to harvest next year?
You’ll get no argument from me on that point. Something doesn’t smell right about the tourists’ tale of woe.
$16,000.00 Cash/7 Persons = $2,285.71 each.
That’s just Traveling Money.
No, if they crossed the border illegally whether by accident or on purpose a border patrol agent that responds has no choice but to detain them. We are law enforcement officers not judges.
If an agent did not detain someone for illegally crossing that agent would be placed under investigation. I have caught illegals a few feet from the border and they sometimes ask if I can just let them go back. The answer is always no.

I was in Derby Line VT this summer and had an interesting talk with an officer who was parked on a road that crosses the border.
In Derby Line, many streets cross into Canada, but most of them have been blocked, it looks like recently. One road crosses a small creek on a bridge and then climbs up a hill to Main Street, where there is a Border Patrol station where people are supposed to check in.
Before 1910, it was legal to build on the border, and the town library has entrances in Canada and in the USA. In the library, there’s a black line on the floor with a small US/Canadian flag display that marks the border.
When you are there in what is basically a peaceful little New England town, you would imagine there’s not much for CBP to do, but you would be wrong.
People who can not get permission to enter the US, or who find it easier to enter Canada with contraband than to get through a US airport, have a confederate drive them to the Canadian entrance to the library.
They go upstairs and browse for a bit. They get a text, walk out the US door, a car pulls up for a 1.5 second stop, and in 90 seconds they are on I-91 heading South.
If you stop in your car in front of, or near, the library to admire the architecture, expect a chat with Border Patrol within a very brief time.
On the other hand, I took pictures of all my kids with one foot in Canada and one foot in the USA in front of a CBP officer with no hassles.
White privilege, I suppose.
this smells worse than an unwashed limey
Drag the map a bit and you will see the border crossing is just West of the given location.
Same here......I believe their story about being tourists from the UK, but with all that cash on hand, they were likely approached by somebody to illegally transport an illegal or illegals across the border.......
Back around 1972 a friend of mine was stationed in Berlin while in the Army. He and another guy drove a modified vehicle into East Berlin and picked up a family of four, hiding them in the expanded trunk, then brought them back across the border into West Berlin.
He now admits it was stupid on their part considering the consequences they would have faced had they got caught.......
All because of a Lucas Water Pump failing at the Water Plant and they had to bathe in The Thames.
What kind of animal would cause you to detour, certainly not a Moose, perhaps a Tyrannosaurus.
at $42each, they should keep a dozen or so on hand at all times
