Well actually NO. The originating ( outbound ) country being the US, they
would have to return from where they came.If for instance they would not
have had the necessary paperwork to re-enter the US, then they would be
detained and the legal procedures for deportation to their last known
country of origin would prevail. This is why many immigrants will destroy
all their paperwork and try to enter Canada.
In Canada the Federal ruling says that any person requesting political
asylum will be granted that wish but under certain conditions and for the
time it takes to verify their credentials.( a way for them to buy time ). In
the meantime they are fed,lodged and free to go but a resident must post a
bond for them. Otherwise they are under preventive detention in specially
located Motels under guard Not in detention camps like in some areas in the
US. I guess we are a bit more humanitarian in that field of expertise,
although a few bad ones will slip through our fingers once in a while.
That's why Canada is so uptight on making sure that any arriving visitor
have the proper papers to enter or visit Canada. It costs taxpayers a lot.
Dont forget that the government once they accept the refugee must supply him
with lodging,food and a welfare check until he can live on his own. The
exception to this is when family or friends will take them in under bond.

Actually, it took a second or two for me to get the police record joke,
but
I had a good laugh. Fortunately, (or perhaps unfortunately) I have not had
the occasion to cross into Canada since before 911.

Oddly enough, even before 911, I witnessed a car attempting to enter the
Canadian side that was refused entry. A caucasian driver and 4 or so
oriental looking passengers. I have no insight into why they were refused
entry. They were turned around and sent back towards the U.S. I became
intrigued by the concept of them being refused entry back into the U.S.?
Would they have to live on the bridge for the rest of their lives?

Dr.Artaud, Thanks for the insight, It confirms what I always suspected
about those military rejects working at the US borders ( because they
wont hire you unless you been in the service ).
