My daughter just returned from Mexico last night and was, to use her term “interrogated” by Customs or border patrol officer at the airport. Asked her why she was in Mexico, where she had been, etc.
I find a certain irony in her circumstance—peppered with far more questions compared to a reporter returning from Liberia covering Ebola—not to mention compared with Guatemalans walking over the border.
I honestly don’t know why she was singled out. Not that it was bad to single her out, just a strange contrast.
My uncle was with Customs in Arizona. It IS random unless there is a bulletin/order telling them otherwise.
