The treatment Cameron received at the airport is of typical ridicule. No surprise there.

I think it is ridiculous that our Government is willing to block Canadian researchers for not having a work permit to speak, while it practically invites people to walk into the country from the South to work illegally for less wages and zero documentation!

Perhaps if INS were allocated adequate funding, we wouldn't have such a problem with undocumented aliens.
I think it's ridiculous that such a professional journalist thought he could get away with not having the correct visa....
But that's just me

It's also typical for people who fail to file the right paperwork to expect officials to buy the excuses and let 'em come in anyway.
Sorry, the blame here lies on his own failure to abide by the rules.

For such a cute little username you sure show some insensitive thinking. Having the proper papers to enter the country or not, that kind of treatment is unnecessary and sad to see coming from a government authority figure and I see no excuse for or reason to defend it
But let's get to the more important issue here...
If Grant Cameron was allowed to enter the country many times in the past but denied entry this time because he didnt have the right papers can (IMO) only mean one of two things--either they finally became privy to this problem because of Cameron's increased popularity from national attention of the History Channel show, OR he was intentionally targeted and tracked by Homeland Security because of the show's subject matter.
It is with little doubt to me that he is having more trouble entering the country now because he's gotten more popular due to the History Channel show.
