Funny US Border Crossing audio

OK, this is sad and funny at the same time. A Canadian citizen was crossing the US/Canada border to go on a shopping trip in the US with his wife and decided to record the interaction.

Now it’s clear he had an agenda when he showed up at the border with a recording device, and at first, I thought the US immigration offer was being very rude, but the second guy had the patience of a saint. It’s rare I’ll agree with the approach taken by US immigration officers, but in this case, I will. The guy recording this is a douchebag and I’m betting his body language was even worse than his (verbal) attitude.

Wow. No wonder the economy is in such bad shape. Usually, you encourage shoppers to shop not discourage them. I would say shop at home and support your own economy. It is worth it.

actually 1 Elm St. is a real address. I happen to live in Mississauga about ten minutes away from it, an apartment building. It was obvious this guy brought the recorder because he had heard or previously experienced a bad crossing before. I know this happens. My friend was interrogated simply for being African and White. Americans in this position (power) generally are stupid and abuse thei power at every opportunity. Why I will never travel to the US myself or promote travel to the US for anyone

The sound at the end was a heavy metal door closing. This guy could have been recording all of this on his cellphone; I have that capability. I am a Canadian, and he does not have a Maryland accent whatsoever. He sounds just like I sound. I don't believe it's fake, and I believe that my fellow Canadian was in the wrong 100%.

I'm in the "fake" category now... compare this to the Ron Paul supporter from earlier this year and it's pretty obvious.
