> My assessment of the two borders is that the Canadians are always
courteous, although they are rather firm about not wanting any parental
kidnappings. I would say professional. The Americans on the other hand have
some really angry people in the immigration service. If you dont run across
one of them, you are generally also treated in a professional matter. It may
be that given my citizenship I do not get to see the bigots in the Canadian
immigration service.

I worked with a guy years ago who was testing to become a U.S. border
patrol. He didn't particularly want to do it, but it paid the bills. I don't
know if he was a bigot, but he was definitely biased against anybody
crossing the border. I got along fine with him, but he was not the kind of
guy you wanted to not like you. His descriptions of using body cavity
searches to take out frustration made you pucker.
