You keep seeing people say: "if you can make it to our State, we'll make you feel at home!"

Yeah ... but if we get nabbed by ICE along the way or on the streets then tough luck right?

Even IF I was willing to risk all of that. They're still threatening Canada as if it's a fucking joke and then it isn't. Americans saying shit like: "hey none of this travel would be an issue if join us ... ... and then we'll pillage your water, resources, taxes, and land ... then strip you of your freedoms, healthcare and voting rights".

So many people are talking about if this is all a PR issue and there aren't REAL problems.

    There's a bridge near Detroit that is apparently easy on the Canadian side to accidentally head across the border into America. Used to be they'd just turn you around and sent you back, but I read at least one story of a guy who got detained in an American facility for a few weeks before he could back him, and all he did was take a wrong turn.

    They've still got a 3000 per day quota, and they've never hit it, so they aren't looking for excuses to NOT arrest people, even if it gets kicked later. That's why they've found that something like 75% of ICE arrests have been bogus. If anything, the likelihood is that they'll get MORE aggressive, not less.
