How about when they turned around and tried to get thru U.S. Border Patrol and both had prior immigration issues ?
You mean when they were sent back?
Immigration law is confusing.
Wife has overstayed her tourist visa. She paid the penalty and was 100% lawfully present.
Husband had been here 20 years on a work visa?. He kept getting the run around on permanent resident status and finally gave up? I guess he technically overstayed?
They were planning to visit Canada and then go home.
They had subsequently accepted the offer to self deport
Why were they detained without arrest for 6 weeks in a hell hole?
