We are american citizens and this kind of treatment is cruel and very, very unsual. like I said before, the guy doesnt have as much of a speeding ticket on his "record."

I will try the port director at JFK. Problem is, Its not one country we are returning from, and its not one port. We have retuned via: DEN, LAX, MIA, JFK, EWR and IAD. Im also going to try our senators, I feel like the secretary of homeland security is too above our heads, and the letter will get thrown out or put in some garbage pile, but a senator-well they deal with this kindof garbage.

Look. I get if you are flagged one time (for carrying a PERFECTLY LEGAL amount ofmoney across the border) randomly, theyll check you the next time, or couple of times you enter the country. Fine. logical. I can deal. But this was 3 years ago. He has left the country ~50 times since then, that is why this is so absurd. He knows to add 1-3 hours to each trip because of this. fine if you are travelig alone and it just means scheduling extra time. not fine when it means a starving baby who is not fully immunized in a windowless room with a bunch of immigrants for 1-3 hours, and suitcases filled with your family's clothing. we trave with him, we have to suffer too. thats the problem now.
