Modern melenial teens can be uncomprimisingly dense and stupid. Yet, about this, I dont think so. I call bullshit on her "i didn't mean to." 20:1 she was doing a dry run of crossing the border. | ||

In the time it took to read that article, 500 central American illegals flooded over the US border, welcomed by Democrats who told them they need to replace the filthy Americans.  ____________________________________________________ "I am your retribution." - Donald Trump, speech at CPAC, March 4, 2023 | |||

having lived in Seattle, I can not tell you the number of canuckistani's and Asians that were wandering around that openly admitted they were here illegally from Canada. I would like to see the southern border well secured, but the northern is a problem also. | |||

Has anyone thought that maybe the illegals that make it into our country need free transport to the northern border? I really am not being facetious. Why can't we handle them the same way Mexico seems to handle them? Pass the buck onto the Canadians? Let them figure out why having millions of people that don't assimilate is a bad idea. Maybe then, they'll have a better understanding of why they should be just as invested in the security of the United States as we are. ___________________________ No thanks, I've already got a penguin. | |||

Wait a cotton pickin' minute. Just two years ago, we learned from James Comey, one the nation's chief law enforcement officers at the time, that inadvertently breaking the law is okay. It's only when you intend to do it that it is a crime. . | |||

I understand and agree the law's the law, but c'mon. See: This is how U.S. Customs and Border Protection gets regarded as storm troopers. The girl made a mistake. Particularly if she was right in there having been no notification she was crossing into the U.S. this was excessive in the extreme.
Yeah, because France is such a shithole the French are just dying to get into the U.S. by whatever means necessary  "America is at that awkward stage.

I think she was trying to see if she could cross the border. If so, she would gather her nessisarys and run. Who in their right mind goes jogging in a foreign country with out their paperwork but takes their phone. She admittedly thought she was across, but stopped to take a selfie from a near by cliff. My ass, she was looking to see if she could get away. Seattle has an invasion of canadians, asains through canada, and of course the southern border. This case it was a french dingbat who tried to enter from the northern border. | |||

Complete nonsense. She could simply enter the country just like any other French tourist. ~Alan Acta Non Verba NRA Life Member (Patron) God, Family, Guns, Country Men will fight and die to protect women... because women protect everything else. ~Andrew Klavan | |||

Indeed. This may come as a bit of a shock to some of my fellow countrymen, but the entire rest of the world outside U.S. borders isn't a shithole everybody's trying to escape. In fact... wait for it... many people actually like where they live and have no interest in living in the USA at all! "America is at that awkward stage.

Well, I see a trifecta of stupid here. 1) not seeing the border-crossing signs 2) not having her papers on her. My policy when out of the country is to have my passport on my person when I am out of the hotel room. Yes, I understand not carrying inessentials while jogging, but still...even if she wasn't planning on crossing the US border, as a French national she was in a foreign country (Canada) even before the cross-border jog. 3) bureaucrats foot-dragging in clearing this up. IMO, the jogger won the stupid contest, best two out of three.  It might pay to go back for CBP and look at whether the signage wasn't clearly visible. Maybe the jogger just wasn't paying attention, but it is also possible that the signage needs to be spruced up. | |||

It's been a hot minute since I've been up to Blaine, but I could see it happening, especially if she's running along the beach at low tide. It's not exactly the Korean DMZ over here betwixt Washington state and Soviet Canukistan. There's the water, the beach, a set of train tracks, some woods on the Canadian side tapering down as it gets close to the border, and then I-5/Highway 99 with with Peace Arch park separating the southbound and northbound lanes. The park itself is open on both sides and one can freely cross into and out of the US and Canada without passport or papers, provided one only leaves through the side they came in on. It's all pretty casual as far as crossings go. Was she stupid to not carry some ID? Probably. Could the Border Patrol have handled it better? Most definitely. That's the only reason we're hearing about it.

Take a look at a map of the area. She ran within 200-300 feet of a Canadian Border facility and closer yet to the U.S. Border Patrol facility. Neither of them “small” facilities and probably very noticeable, even from the beach. Talk about being “in the zone”.

I dunno, I kinda side with DsGrouse on this one. My old man was Border Patrol for nearly 30 years between El Paso and the northern border in New York state where the land border is just as permeable as it is here in Washington, and he saw all kinds of stuff. An idiot teenager who jogged across the border to take a selfie having snuck across the border just to say she did it would hardly peg the weird meter. Shit, there was a rash of idiot teenagers dying taking stupidly dangerous selfies over the last few years so they could post them on social media. How is this somehow incomprehensible compared to the kid that fell in the caldera, or the one that fell into the Grand Canyon, or, or, or.....?
How?
I suggest to you that the only reason we're hearing about it is because of all the border nonsense that's so fresh in the news. This kinda thing? It ain't the first time it's ever happened. Not even by a little bit. ______________________________________________ “There are plenty of good reasons for fighting, but no good reason ever to hate without reservation, to imagine that God Almighty Himself hates with you, too.” | |||

I'd imagine it's pretty easy to slip across the border in Point Roberts, WA, as well.

You guys are forgetting the Instagram effect. People do dumb shit just to see whether they can get away with it for no other reason than to post a selfie showing they got away with it. She would have been able to come on across the border with her passport and regular ID, but instead, she thought she was being cute and "woke" by crossing and showing that she did it. Was she trying to show the world how easily a "white" could cross the US border? Or was she just a dumb shit that really was so self absorbed that she didn't see the multiple signs stating that she was leaving one country and going into another? I can't believe it's the 2nd option. Hell, if they are serious enough to put a camera on the particular spot she ran by, I can't imagine they wouldn't have a corresponding sign saying as much. I'll bet you also know when you are going from one state to another here in the US. Think the borders to the country are any different? She got a free ride in a cage, got her mommy bits searched, and she'll never forget it, all because of stupidity. ___________________________ No thanks, I've already got a penguin. | |||

Glad to see BP doing their job and following the letter of the law. Stupid should be painful and I guess a 2 week stay at Uncle Sams detention facility will make her re-think her future jogging near another country's border. For all of you guys saying that the BP should have jsut sent her back across...think for one moment and think if she was being observed by some nare-do-well forign guys who were intent on hurting Americans...might have been a dry run, or might have just been a stupid girl....either way, glad she was captured.
