2. Where did they cross? Border checkpont, or unmonitored area? If a border checkpoiint, why weren't they stopped?

I got here late, but it seems to me that at least two of them were Canadian citizens. We don't "racially profile". Canadian citizens are allowed to cross the border freely.
And American citizens can go there, too.

"Canadian citizens are allowed to cross the border freely."

Based on my own experiences, the customs inspection is more rigorous at the border (airport anyway) than before. But then, I'm a white guy.

Maybe you should.

"Canadian citizens are allowed to cross the border freely."

And maybe we shouldn't. Canadians are VERY ethnically diverse. If it was found that 5 middle-eastern guys crossed your border - duh - I am 44 and fair and white and the American border guys had no Problem stopping me. Speaking from experience.
