which means he has to cross the boundary illegally to attend services.

They did not fine him for going to church. They fined him for crossing the border illegally.

Thats what should be done in every case of illegal entry - no matter for what reason, or how small the breach is.

Exactly. Amazing how Newsmax, a continual complainer about leftist media spin, is now doing the same thing but in the other direction. The headline is bogus.

That said, fining the guy is stupid and petty in light of the fact that he's been doing it for years. They should just issue him a weekend pass or something. Some common sense needs to apply up in these border towns where often the country line goes through people's living rooms. My bro-in-law works at a factory whose front door is in the US and whose back entrance is in Canada. They seem to deal with it ok there.

He must be of the wrong ethnicity. If he were of the right "group" they would allow him to cross without blinking an eye. Maybe even offer him some sort of amnesty.

Give me a break. This 52 year old man was going to Church. This can't be one of those dumb-a$$ed no exception policies.
