The man then appeared to grab their passports from the U.S. officer before making a run for the border. The officer yelled and gave chase but stopped at the border marker.

Canadian police took hold of the man’s arm as he crossed.
The border patrol officer told his counterpart that the man was in the United States illegally and that he would have detained him.

Officers on both sides momentarily eyed the luggage strewn in the snow before the U.S. officer took it, and a walker left on the road, to the border line.


Note the use of “the man” in the article and also “the woman”

Focus groups are showing them their old words aren’t working any more? Maybe they don’t have a word for someone leaving yet. They have self identified as illegal but can’t use those words. More focus groups on the way, needs more study.........................

Looks like the system is working. I especially liked, “gave chase” to the border.

“Maybe we should do what Mexico does. Anybody crossing our southern border is welcome to continue on to cross our northern border. But if they stop here, they get deported.”

Sounds like a great plan. Maybe, we can provide free one way bus services:

a: To Canada or:
b: Back to Mexico

"I’m guessing the US agents didn’t try too hard to stop them, frankly......"

The agents pointed to the North and said,"bessalama"!

One must ask themself what past acts in the family’s illegal history in the US was the family in such a rush to flee and the media so deliberate to conceal?
a) Criminal impersonation and identity theft
b) Voting fraud
c) Welfare fraud
d) Other Criminal Liability
e) All of the above

Absolutely: Hopefully, ICE/Homeland is checking their abandoned luggage, their business, home they fled from and their social media contacts!

Another great and economical suggestion to enable our former friends to the North to fully enjoy their new people!

I think we should install those “one-way out turnstiles” for them at the Canadian border.....anybody can exit through one, can’t return without completely vetted credentials.

We are in the very early stages of a process to expel millions of foreigners.Germany has started offering foreigners cash to go back home.I wonder if Canada will someday be adopting one of those two policies...or will she allow herself to become a country of “Press 1 for Arabic...Press 2 for Spanish....Press 8 for English...Press 9 for French”?

What? Those were eight Sudanese Muslims fleeing our country in a panic?

Now that is what I call "winning"!

of course, a Reuters reporter and camera man JUST happened to be present....

My guess is that there are cameramen stationed at various border checkpoints now to try and capture how "uncharitable" our border enforcement policy is.

If they were living here for two years, what made them decide to leave the country? Canada can have them and support them, as far as I am concerned.

Allowing them entry into Canada was a violation of Canadian law. One cannot enter Canada if one has been charged with any felony or some misdemeanors. Obviously, an illegal alien in the US has committed a felony offense.

Something very fishy about this story. US Border patrol does not usually intercept people or vehicles attempting to leave by crossing the border. If you look at all of the crossings, the lanes leaving the US go straight to Mexico and Canada customs booths, no stops for US customs unless your entering

Exactly, unless they were already being chased.
