Jeez, every one of these detainees has "immigration issues".
My local paper carried a very small article on how Canada is now being swamped with Pakistanis leaving the US. Things that make you go 'hmm'.

Easy question. The cab had New York plates. We're "Down East" and New York is "Mid East".

The only thing odd about this article is that they were going to Canada via the NY border...these folks took the long way if they were going to Calais...

these folks took the long way if they were going to Calais...They sure did.
Maybe they figured the "farmers" in Maine wouldn't notice, forgetting the "Yeah right, you blend" factor (apologies to My Cousin Vinnie.)

I've known cabbies that would give you the "Oh yeah, this is the short route" and drive you through Boliva on a cross town fare. Especially if you were drinking. They're that kind of people.

More info on this story.....the two were Pakistani and were both eventually arrested on immigration charges. They were heading for Canada, coming from Brooklyn, NY. It is a weird coincidence that this has happened after Bush's speech on Monday. I wonder when they left NY?
I always had very little faith in the Keystone Kops of Maine. Maybe I was wrong.....
