Canadian woman refused U.S. entry because of depression

39. This is the law enforcement and administrative overreach campaign......

I appreciate the interest in trying to ensure we do not admit anyone that creates a threat to our nation or its citizens.

But this is just an administrative person with no appropriate training to make a serious determination on the eligibility of a person to enter our country.

But police and other members of the "authority" elite are increasingly flexing their insecurity by flaunting their power. We see it in the number of ludicrous accounts of excessive force, kills, etc. done by our police and other authorities. They are "high" on their power because they believe they can do anything in the name of "security".

I was recently making a routine border crossing INTO Canada to attend a week-long company planning session. I had never had an issue with this until I encountered this young woman about 23 years of age. She asked why I was entering Canada and I told her to attend meetings with developers, operations and product staff for a routine review of our annual progress, etc. She kept asking me why I needed to come to Canada to do this and I kept telling her because we were flying in 10 other people from around the world for these meetings. She was obviously either just being difficult or has no clue how business is done today.

She sent me to the Immigration office at the border. When I told the Immigration officer I was simply coming in for a meeting we have had 3-4 x a year in Canada for the past number of years he just laughed and said "she is just high on her authority". That was telling to me.

I don't doubt she thought she was asking the right questions but rather than trying to understand she just sloughed me off to another bureaucrat who understood exactly the situation.
