SLEEPING BEAUTY?

According to a story published today in the Ottawa Sun a woman attempted to sneak into Canada while asleep in the cab of a truck....The brief story recounts the incident:

"A gamma-ray scan of a truck entering Canada at Lansdowne yesterday morning turned up a sleeping woman who has a criminal record.
According to the Canada Border Services Agency, the woman was in the cab of the truck when the driver, a 55-year-old Richmondville, N.Y., man, told guards he was travelling alone.
The woman, who's the driver's girlfriend, was returned to the U.S. because she was inadmissible to Canada.
Francis G. Sega is charged with failing to report a passenger in his vehicle and misrepresentation under Immigration and Refugee Protection Act. He is in custody and will appear in Brockville court next Friday. "


While this is a bit much, it is far from unusual. Many times there are people who, unwittingly or on purpose, aid and abet in the surreptitious entry of illegal aliens. A warning to them: it is an offence under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act and the consequences Can be harsh, including fines and jail time.
