I have dual citizenship so also hold an Irish passport. The question is, can I enter Canada on that one and just fess up to CBP when I get back to the US, or will I wind up getting probed in a back room somewhere (either in Canada or in the US)?

Any thoughts/experience along these lines would be very much appreciated.
You can enter Canada and any valid passport you hold.

You are suppose to enter the US on your US passport. Will you get back into the US? Yes. Will it be problematic? Probably but I don't know the exact process.
