>> Sorry, but the BCE folks are in the right here... If you think their job is to be a Welcome Wagon for Canadian a$$holes

The folks that have their knickers in a bunch on this thread are confusing the SUBSTANTIAL rights of a US citizen already in this country with the rights of a FOREIGNER desiring to ENTER this country. THEIR rights are essentially ZERO, until they’re admitted.
If you’re a smartass Canadian and his wife, you do NOT have any God-given (or constitutionally guaranteed) right to go down to Niagra and shop! Get over it, Loonie.
Of course you’re a wetback sneaking into the country, your rights are over and above the rights of a US citizen these days, but that sorry state of affairs is adequately covered in other threads. :-)
Thank you.
A voice of reason.

Oh, does this mean that smart-ass Americans can’t write political pieces?
Guess I’d best find out how to un-post this:

While that may be true, it’s undeniable that many US law enforcement personnel have begun to behave this way towards US citizens inside this country. I think it is the outrage at the way some US citizens have been treated that makes people sympathize with this Canadian couple.

Totally agree!!!
The guy is a FOREIGNER asking for the privilege of entering OUR country. He IS NOT a US citizen and should shut his smart a$$ trap.
The law enforcement people did a GREAT job and this smart a$$ is lucky he was treated as well as he was. He should have had his face slapped a few times.
This is just a symptom of the attitude that everyone thinks that borders don't mean anything, and everyone has the right to waltz into our country.
Why do people on this board have a problem with this? We should be SUPPORTING the border folks in this incident, they did everything very well here.
Of course if the guy was a US citizen; his treatment should be much different

Good job.
