Mike: “ the child was born in BC Canada, how would SAD be able to cross back over into the US with a baby in tow but no US documentation? Therefore a Hawaiian COLB needed to be produced pronto that would allow entry for the baby into the US legally as a citizen.”
A couple years back during this debate in 2008, the general consensus was that the border between Canada and U.S. was hardly even patrolled. Plus, I doubt there was enough scrutiny employed to determine if a new mother had brought the baby across from U.S. to Canada and then back again.
I know they did not often check passports back in the early 60’s and I doubt they would even check a driver’s license.
Just for fun I crossed back to the US that very day showing only my Draft Card.
That was at Niagara Falls Canada/USA ~ they just waved me through on both sides.
