Trump has checkpoints at the border, for people LEAVING.

"... U.S. vehicles heading north to Canada through the Peace Arch and Pacific Highway crossings are sometimes being stopped by U.S. border patrol before they leave the country.... In some cases, it's added hours to crossing times.

US border checkpoint for people LEAVING THE US

"They stopped and asked us to open everything up," said David Crosby, U.S. resident who crossed into BC on Tuesday.

Checkpoints by U.S. border patrol raise concerns amid drop in Canadian visitors | CBC News

In an unusual scene, vehicles heading north from the U.S. into B.C. are sometimes being stopped by U.S. border patrol before they exit the country and arrive at Canadian customs. In some cases, it has added hours to crossing times.

" . . . are sometimes being stopped by U.S. border patrol. . ."

Why sometimes, who do they choose, what criteria?

Women - in case they want freedom and control of their bodies?

People of colour - in case they need to be put in a horrific prison for being brown?

I can't guess what the criteria for stopping might be for the thugs hired to recreate the Berlin Wall

Someone from Canada was going to visit Washington State this month, but decided to cancel because they were worried about returning.

Further reports suggest is a lot, one in four, turning a few minutes into hours of "inspection" an inconveince for Canadians, high to stop what few visits still happen.

But its the installation of Berlin Wall level police state for Americans.

I bet they were planning on dropping 3 or 4 babies so they could get on WIC, Medicaid, Section 8 and a bunch of money making programs so they could return to Canada and live like a queen

Inconvenient to Canadians, the fall of democracy to Americans.

Well if the Canadians would just surrender to the pres and become a territory they wouldn't have to try to smuggle in all those pancakes from the US to go with the Canadian blueberries and syrup that Trump wants to take.
