My daughter was at a Tim Horton's in Canada over the weekend [View all]

She struck up a conversation with one of the employees who told her she recently visited the U.S. The customs agent asked what she thought of our (p)Resident. After she said she wasn't a fan, she was told she was banned from entering the country again for five years and put on a watch list. WTF? Is this even legal?
