Now, having gotten that out of my system, the story could have included more information about how he is crossing the border. Is the gate just left open with no one manning it? Is he having to drive off the paved road to get around the locked gate? The story doesn't make it clear. If he's simply driving through an open gate with no signs warning not to cross etc., then I might have some considerable sympathy for his plight. But if he's driving off the paved road, cutting the lock on the gate, etc., that's a different matter.
Whoever the incompetent editor at Newsmax is that allowed this one-sided, incomplete hit piece to appear on their web site should be fired.
Most places along the Canada-US frontier, there really is NO border. We're talking 3000+ miles of frontier, much of which is sparsely populated. People come and go as they please.
