Care to explain why you took the effort to post a question that was answered in the FIRST sentence of the article?

Probably has the same name and familial connections as a prohibited person. The system probably keeps flagging her due to that.

Leitch, a former labor minister in the previous Conservative government, has a suggestion for the government: “As soon as they get across the border, arrest them,” she said.

“It’s very obvious that the Liberals have no plan to deal with illegal refugees,” Leitch told The Daily Caller Monday. “The promised a plan in November. There was no plan. They promised again in December and January. Now it’s March and there’s no plan, only talk.”

Or she is spending more time in the US than could plausibly be recreational.

The article says she was born in Canada. That means automatic citizenship, just like the US.

Thanks for the info. There must be some details they left out of the story.

It seems to me that the border agent was just being chicken $h!t, as we called it in the Army, so he could aggravate her, and put in a dig against our POTUS, as well. His crack about Trump was just gratuitous. He should work for TSA.

When crossing the US border from Canada, once you or anyone in your party has been flagged ONCE, you are automatically flagged every time you cross the border from that time forward.

Every time. Ask me how I know...

About 45 years ago, we got held up at the border for an hour or so because we had a Russian in the car with us (those dang Russians have been causing trouble for a long time!). When we were students in Ann Arbor, we'd get vacation tour packages that flew out of Windsor, Ont. On one trip, we made friends with another U of M couple who asked if they could ride back with us. Didn't think anything of it. Then at the border crossing, they asked each of us where we were born. When the guy said he was born in Russia, we were pulled over.

Stuff like that happens. When people were complaining about the people who got held up at customs in Trump's first vetting rollout, I thought, for the most part, it was much ado about nothing because I've been held up for hours at customs when there's no problem except huge lines.

BINGO! You’ve got it! The Occam’s Razor answer.

I’ve been told by many people who cross the border regularly that if you manage to run into the wrong immigration officer when he’s having a bad day, you are going to have trouble.

I’m also told that in general the Canadian guys are worse than ours in this regard.

All these fake sob stories lead to one thing. Trump is bad and is doing bad things. I’m surprised they didn’t throw a global warming reference in there too. It’s too bad they don’t realize how stupid they all sound to normal people.
