ST. STEPHEN - The RCMP bomb squad stood by in St. Stephen Sunday night as American authorities questioned five people who attempted to enter the United States.
The Canada Border Services Agency closed the Ferry Point Bridge from St. Stephen to Calais, Maine, shortly after 6 p.m. and asked the RCMP to divert traffic. Police at the Calais end of the bridge did the same.
Not only did the police not allow traffic across the bridge but, at the St. Stephen end, they did not allow motorists to drive up Milltown Boulevard past the end of it. Traffic coming one way detoured up Watson Street, the other way up Main Street, to Union Street.
The five people who attempted to cross into the United States are not Canadians and are possibly illegal immigrants - possibly from Afghanistan, RCMP J Division media relations officer Sgt. Claude Tremblay said late Sunday night from Fredericton.
"The reason we closed the bridge is because they left their vehicle and went on foot," Tremblay said.

-Rumor Mill Swirls Over Canada Bound Border Closure
Monday, October 19, 2009
UPDATE: The reason behind a closure at the Ferry Point border crossing connecting Calais and St. Stephen Sunday night started out as a case of five people being denied entry into the United States and being turned back to the Canadian side.
U.S. border officials said Monday that the Canadian Border Services Agency requested U.S. Customs and Border Protection to block access to Canada-bound traffic. That was the case until around 2:30 a.m. [U.S. time] Monday morning when the bridge was reopened.
MORE DETAILS COMING ON THIS STORY.

If you have information about suspicious cross-border activity, please contact the Canada Border Services Agency Border Watch Toll-free Line at
1-888-502-9060.
The more detailed information you can provide, the better - but remember that no information, however trivial it may seem, is too small. Your help may be the missing piece of the puzzle that we are looking for. Reporting suspicions, even after the fact, can be an effective means of stopping future smuggling attempts.
Please never try to take the law into your own hands, or get involved in any illegal activities. If you have witnessed or are aware of an incident, for your own protection, please do not get involved or try to gather evidence. Just let us know.

The five people who attempted to cross into the United States are not Canadians and are possibly illegal immigrants -- possibly from Afghanistan...Wait, don't leave yet, Obama wants to hire you for administrative positions in the Department Homeland Security.
Just let ‘em try that from Woodstock to Houlton!
How do you say “Czar” in Pashtun?
Lots of good spots to pick ‘um off coming across the “Airline”. Medabemps? (sp?)
That's a good joke, simply because there's possibly a grain of truth to it.
;’) It’s analogous to that old saying among historians or sociologists — the thoughts but not the thinkers; they have the Puchtunwali code. Which I guess originated on the Moslem world’s dubbed version of Leave it to Beaver.
Sure, it took a long time to get around that bend, but it was worth it, admit it.

“Probe of five men shuts down Calais border crossing”
By Sharon Kiley Mack
BDN Staff
BANGOR DAILY NEWS PHOTO BY BRIDGET BROWN
SNIPPET: “CALAIS, Maine — The international border crossing between downtown Calais and St. Stephen, New Brunswick, was closed for about nine hours Sunday night and early Monday
SNIPPET: “The men were detained by U.S. authorities “only long enough to determine they weren’t going to be let in” to the U.S., Woo said Monday afternoon.
No one was arrested by U.S. authorities, Woo said, and the men were returned to Canada.”
SNIPPET: “He said the men were not from Afghanistan, but he said U.S. privacy laws prevented him from providing details about their citizenship status or identification.
The RCMP bomb squad found nothing untoward in the vehicle...”
Scary but, there or no documented illegal aliens from space.
Really scary as our nation is overran with illegals, and one may be illegally our president.
