They probably want to go into the US to work and would have likely landed in California. They pulled the "we are british" after being caught to draw sympathy.
Travelling legally ain't a crime. And even until not long ago the Irish where coming to the U. S without Visa on overpacked ships to look for work because their country was suffering from a poor economy. Africans were brought to the U. S and Europe forcefully as slaves without visa to work for free. Tell me another story about illegal migration.

But i thought british citizens are free to enter USA. Well in my own opinion, having droved thru that route severally from Canada, I do not believe those couples are lying. It's very easier to mistakenly enter usa from canada if u do not know the route. And one funny issues with all thos route is, once u mistakenly took the wrong exit, that is the end, u will end up in usa straight as there are no turning points. Is not like naija where u can turn at the centre, middle, tail, front of the road anytime anyday. I have british citizens in canada and they are legitimately residing here. I see no reason for such lies from the couples. I hate usa for this, reason I stopped going there for anything. Silly ash hole mother fucker blood sucking country. I wonder why people still go there with all the killings and nonsense happening there. Love my Canada

If you're living in Detroit you will know one can easily cross over to Windsor in Canada accidentally.
I agreed with u brotherly. Pretty easy to enter windsor, if u are in Boston, is easier to enter Newbrownswick in Canada too. Then those living in Maine, also can enter Canada pretty much easier

Free to enter with a purpose. Interviews still takes place at the border or airport, especially in this Trump era.
I dislike that country too. I have cousins in Atlanta that still can't get me over to visit from Canada. Oh well, lots of people still chasing the American dream or wants to go an gamble their earnings away in Vegas.

Do you know the terrain? Abeg stop making bias conclusions.

What bias conclusions are you taking about.

The US said they have been previously denied entry.

So, straying into the US again give room for suspicion.

Why is everbody running away from his country of Birth?...they had ulterior motive of entering the United States illegally,so instead of applying for a visa from UK,they decided to go to Canada First and use Land border to Enter the US....But trust US Custom and Border Protection officer,they caught them...US is not Number one in the whole world for Nothing,they are always ahead

Did you read the part where border officials said they have video surveillance showing they drove in slowly and deliberately?

Did you read that part where an animal crossed their path thereby causing a diversion for them?

One won't get through accidentally. There is the tunnel, and the bridge, well marked.

Immigration laws exist primarily for security reasons. If there were no immigration laws, do you know how many "enemies" from the Middle east would invade USA?

Other reasons are secondary, even commerce

You still have to cross into the USA legally through a customs port of entry.

No idea what they were up to or what the end goal was. If they wanted to go to the USA for work a normal person would just go through customs legally and then just not go back. The lawyer in this case is a well known open borders nut, and she routinely says bad things about ICE and their detention facilities and kids in facilities. Notice how the Brits brought kids? I think the lawyer paid the Brits to carry out this stunt. Wonder why 2 of the adults were denied access to the USA in the past?

If they don't need visas what is the point of crossing illegally, confused because it says they were refused visa before.

I can only speculate, but I think the lawyer paid them to do this, so the lawyer can try to make ICE/Border/USA look bad in the media. And this lawyer has a history of doing this.

Where they sleeping before they accidentally entered another country?

Make i accidentally enter Ghana and see who go arrest me

Most border area land & water between Canada and USA are not marked. Any tourist without a proper guide will fall into this trap. Canadian officials usually stop and send back people like these but US officials make them go through long paperwork and process taking weeks or even months.

USA are too proud. . That's their major problem. . They feel every other nation is inferior whereas Canada possess much better environment and structures than the US.
