Sunday

I have lived in the States for almost 30 years. Didn't get my citizenship. Whatever. But I have my green card. The only "crime" I have, a couple speeding tickets(paid for) and some parking tickets.
I am planning to go visit my elderly mother this summer for a couple weeks. I, too am very worried about the border. The one bit of solace, is advice from an article I read at CBC.ca. A travel person said the best and safest way to travel to the States from Canada right now is from a Canadian Airport. The reason being, you are going through US Customs on Canadian soil. Not American. So if it gets too intense, you can simply tell them, that you've decided not to travel afterall and just walk away. Doesn't get you back in the country, but at least you won't get sent to El Salvador!
