Mehdiya Hudda, 22, of Kichener, planned a short shopping trip in Lewiston, N.Y., near Niagara Falls, with her mother and husband on April 26, returning to Canada the same evening. The family is Muslim and both women wear head scarves. They ended up being fingerprinted and photographed, then held in a room at the U.S. border for about six hours, while their car, cellphones and belongings were searched. At 1 AM, they were told to return to Canada.
The Record (h/t Brian R) Her family was denied entry to the U.S. in May 2003 when they were trying to attend an Islamic conference in Washington, D.C.”This many years later and still it’s the same thing, we’re being treated like criminals,” Hudda said. “After all these years, they’ve not changed. It just boggles my mind.”
POLL: Should the United States get out of the UN?
“It’s not justified,” she said. “It was like we had no rights, (you don’t) being on that line between the U.S. and Canada.” The whole incident was humiliating, especially because it unfolded in full view of hundreds of other travelers, she said.
Rather than simply being told to pull over, out of the line of vehicles at the border crossing, the border guard asked for the van’s keys and placed spikes behind the rear wheels so the van couldn’t be reversed without puncturing the tires. Then three other officers came and asked them to leave all their belongings, including purses, wallets and cellphones, in the van and accompany them to a nearby office.

Just claim you're a "Dreamer". Sen Dick Durbin will get you in.
They are members of a group of people dedicated to the destruction of America. They do not want to live by our laws but by those imposed by their belief and sharia law which are diametrically opposed to our freedoms and rights. They are criminals. There is no such thing as a moderate mooooslim. Only mooslims.. There is no such thing as a radical moooslim. Only a mooooslim.
They are criminals.

Finally, our government is doing something that I agree with. Now if they will pick up the rest in the country and deport them I and many others would feel safer and happier!
well if you guys would fly from Canada to mexico...and walk through through our southern border..you would get in the united states with no problem....even if you commit a crime..you would not even be deported......but at any rate we do not need anymore garbed muslims in this country...we are full.
Maybe they should have gave them supper BBQ pork ribs Pork and Beans
Can't get in to apply for welfare? Is Dearborn saturated?
Tie that bag tight around your neck so nobody rips it off.
Things sure have changed, Obama has been flying them in here by the plane loads and now have more rights than we do. I think this is just a story to cover up what is going on behind our backs.
they shd have stayed in iran, their problem is solved.
if they really wanted to do something positive, they shd protest the candien system of taxes, that force high canadien prices, and force canadiens to shop in the USA.
