Stuff like this really irks me. Apparently she was out for a jog and was unaware where the actual border was. She says there were no signs (maybe or maybe not) and had no idea. Apparently CBP thought the correct course of action was to toss her in detention for 2 weeks.

She is a French citizen visiting her mom in BC. I know some of you will say 'the law is the law' but what about common sense? It was most likely obvious she was unaware and had no intent of entering the US illegally; just out for a jog. Why not just give her a verbal warning, point her in the correct direction and wish her 'a good day'?? Instead, US taxpayers had to dish out beaucoups of tax money for her detention and add to the 'you're not welcome here' believed by so many foreigners.

You get stopped for speeding and the cop decides to give you a warning and send you on your way. A little grace goes a long way.

Anyway, I could rant all day about this but I'll leave up to you guys...or not
