Yeah, it is... and should be according to your suggestion. The children are not being sent back to mexico, they are either held in detainment camps indefinitely or given up for adoption even if they crossed the border accompanied by a guardian or parent.

I've never heard of a Canadian getting picked up for a misdemeanor offense in the U.S. and having their kids taken from them. Pretty sure that would make the news if it did happen.

On a related note, I was coming back to Canada on a flight from the U.S. one time pre-9/11. I show my ticket and Canadian passport to the guy, and he says "Where are you heading?" I say "Calgary." He says "Do you have a green card?" It took me a second to process the sheer stupidity of the question, but finally I said "I'm a Canadian going to Canada. Why would I need a green card? We don't even have green cards in Canada." And he looks confused for a second, then lets me go.

Another time post 9/11 I was driving across the border from NY state to Ontario. I get to the little ten feet of no mans land at the border and the *U.S.* customs guy stops me and starts asking me questions about how long I'm going for, where I'm going, etc.. I'm thinking "Buddy I'm leaving your fucking country. Your job is to ask people questions when they enter, not when they leave. What, are you going to tell me I can't leave if you don't like my answers? Fuck off."

Stuff like this makes me think border security is a job done by people who failed out of mall cop academy. No wonder they can't keep track of whose babies they've arrested.
