Mr. Laffy and I just had lunch with some friends here in #Canada, and they told us of 2 separate incidents at the border (coming into the US)--- white people who they know personally-- where the border officials demanded to know who the people supported politically. Oh, not Trump? They refused them entry, told them they couldn't come in for 5 years.

I know there must be more details that I'm forgetting, but that's the gist. Can't answer questions if you have any.

@WarnerCrocker we were stunned... because they were white. Honestly, the first thing I asked was, Were they white?

@GottaLaff @WarnerCrocker Indeed. Stunning to have a loyalty oath at the border. Coming soon to a local traffic stop in a red state?

@garylerude @GottaLaff No doubt. I saw a post somewhere this afternoon that said there was an ICE checkpoint on 15 between Vegas and LA.

@WarnerCrocker @garylerude @GottaLaff When my wife saw some suspicious ICE activity I informed the local media when/where.

@WarnerCrocker @garylerude @GottaLaff during the Reagan administration there was a stop between CA and AZ on I-10. I was asked where I was born. The «Officer» didn’t know Pennsylvania, insisted it was a country. My passport, birth certificate, clearance authorization letter notwithstanding. It went downhill from there.

@garylerude @GottaLaff @WarnerCrocker Pretty likely if it's not already happening.
