"I think it's most reasonable to conclude that she meant to say the following ..."
I think they should get someone to be a spokesperson who says exactly what she means, especially when it effects internationally and may be translated into different languages.
If WE have to figure out what it is most reasonable what she said, imagine the confusion when it gets translated.
Thank you for your candid comments and have a safe," Happy New Year's." NSNR.
No Problem... 9/11 changed everything
I suspect EVERY MUSLIM !!!!!
Smuggling?
"Smuggling?"
Out? ... what ?
My God, I just realized what I was saying...those are the Cnadian border patrol. I should never post when sick. Sorry. I need to go to bed
No, forget it, sorry.
I followed your advice and looked up his posts---he strikes me as a possible lurking troll here--I'm not sure.
He has nothing to say good about Bush---or the Miltary.
He seems very much the defeatist
The only whiners we got are US citizens.
But how do you tell if they're really US citizens, take their word for it? Or do you check their fingerprints against records the government already has? For instance, I was bonded, got a California drivers license, got insurance licenses in 26 states, a securities license, and for all I was fingerprinted. So I should be able to prove my citizenship fairly easily, right? Maybe all social security card holders should get fingerprinted, to eliminate false use of this form of ID for employment purposes, to. What do you think?

Take it off and convert, else get back to where you came from. And stay out.
America: hard to get in; easy to get out.

"Citizens were forced to be fingerprinted and photographed before CBP let them go?"
First and foremost these people are muslisms. So, it was the right thing to do to fingerprint and photograph them. It's called profiling.
Hi devolve. You are getting pretty fancy in that post!! It would have taken me an hour to set that up, LOL.
"Take it off and convert, else get back to where you came from."
Uh... I think she was from Brooklyn - last reports that was still a part of the US.
Have you really lead such a closed life you don't know there are Muslim citizens who were born and raised here ?
( also Jews, Buddhists, Amish, Shintoists, Christian Scientists, and Atheists )
I think the poster meant that Canadians don't want drunk rivers in their country. This happened to my brother in law once. We went on the ferry to Canada in a large group. My mother had forgotten her ID, but they told her if she had a baseball card or any kind of picture on her, she could go right in. But they didn't like my brother in law's looks or something, so they interrogated him for hours and finally got him to admit he got a drunk driving ticket 20 years ago. The Canadians told him he could not enter Canada, but then they said if he had $300 in cash he could join us. He paid, but never wants to see the Canadian border again.
When we returned, the American agents only wanted to know if we had any counterfeit beanie babies with us. Maybe this is all this "Marine Inspector" really cares about. He doesn't sound to me as if he's in the right job, or thinks it's his job to protect the American taxpayers.
"You look Muslim to me, so I think I'll detain you and fingerprint you and your family."
If you can't differentiate between a muslin and a non-muslism, then you have failed as Customs & Border Protection Officer. Back to profiling school.
She was born here and I think she was saying that she doesn't fit the typical ME profile. IOW, they would have not profiled her as a terrorist. That's my exact point about profiling for a certain appearance and not terrorists.
"I'm pretty confident we can stop the terrorist, without fingerprinting every American Citizen returning from abroad."
There you go again with "every American Citizen."
You don't have to fingerprint every American citizens, only certain undesirable elements of which muslisms is one.
BTW, I'm an American-born citizen and my fimgerprints are also on file. Don't mind being fingerprinted and photographed again and again in order to keep the country free of undesirable elements.
So ... move to Canada if it will make you feel safer...
Look, you were not Canadian citizens, so they can do whatever they feel like as far as letting you in .. or not...
When you came back you were American citizens, so the criteria was if you were smugglers or other unwanted.
Is this such a hard concept - that once you prove you are a citizen of the US they should treat you as if you belong here?
You don't have to fingerprint every American citizens, only certain undesirable elements of which muslisms is one.
... and the other undesirable elements are ?
