A Canadian friend who lives in U.S. was stopped at the border after
Edited on Thu Dec-09-04 11:38 AM by henslee
visiting her Mom in CAN. She's been doing business in the U.S. for years, was just turned away by U.S. immigration twice and had to hire an immigration attorney for five grand. Her papwerwork was in order. She is a stand up gal. The immigration superiors blamed it on the in- exerience of new hirees and told her eveything should be straightened out. Is this our new world order? Yikes.

4. How could someone from Canada
love it here?

Unless she wants to make some American money and then move back to Canada where the American dollar goes farther.

5. Come on, not everyone has that master plan. She just likes the intensity
here, the action. She is a professional hooker -- just kididng. She is a college educated business consultant.

Seniors buying homes in Florida, for retiring, can't get into the states. The homes are then resold, and the buyers have no access or ability to claim back their investment
