albaby1,

Looks like you didn't read the whole Karen Newton article either.

The lesson to take from this story is don't try to enter the United States from Canada with a travel partner/spouse who's on an expired visa, like Karen Newton's husband. That's mentioned in the article but way down there.

Also, don't leave the U.S. to go to Canada or any other country during your vacation to the U.S. and try to re-enter unless you, and your partner's, visas are totally in order.

Which, obviously, the Newtons' weren't.

THEY WERE BOTH TURNED BACK BY CANADA.

D'ya think they may have tried to enter Canada when they realized her husband's visa to the U.S. was EXPIRED and already KNEW they would get arrested if they tried to leave the U.S. directly???

Canada authorities were the ones who caught them.

These people were trying to avoid being arrested when leaving the U.S. by going to Canada and then leaving from Canada to go back to England. It's pretty obvious.

If you're traveling with someone who is violating U.S. immigration laws, maybe you are subject to detention for being an accomplice to immigration fraud or violation of immigration laws? She was clearly aware his visa had expired, AND CLEARLY TRIED TO HELP HIM EVADE U.S. authorities by sneaking into Canada.

If even those nice friendly Canadians didn't want them, obviously, we don't have all the facts, do we.
