‘Imported labor’: Canadian journalist for CBC refused entry to US

A journalist in Canada said Sunday she had been denied entry into the United States because she did not have a valid visa.

Carolyn Dunn, a national correspondent for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, said she had been told that her travel to Washington, D.C., was “entry into the labor" market and that she’d be “imported labor.”

“I’ve never been pulled aside at a US border let alone refused entry,” she tweeted.

Dunn said in an earlier tweet that she was headed to Washington to fill in for colleagues taking vacation. She shared a link from the U.S. State Department’s website that said Canadian citizens “do not generally require visas to enter the United States as members of the press or media working in the United States.

The Washington Examiner has reached out to the Department of Homeland Security for comment.
