[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry OP, but your son broke US law by entering the USA (even in transit) on a foreign passport. The officer went very easy on you. If he doesn’t want to be a US citizen, then he needs to formally renounce it. Until then, he needs to file and pay US taxes annually by the way. Since Canada also has birthright citizenship, this shouldn’t be a difficult concept for you to understand. [/quote]

Ok I see. So my son should have been detained legally and then what? He would stay in jail until he got his US passport? Or until he renounced his US citizenship?

Would I also be detained and put in jail because I facilitated his crime due to misplacing his SSN over 15 years ago?

TBH we were relieved we didn’t end up in El Salvador. We were also relieved when our plane (American airlines) didn’t flip over when we landed at Toronto Pearson.

You should have been sent to secondary at a minimum. And you could have been denied boarding. Honestly you should know better. Again, it would be best for your son to renounce his US citizenship to avoid these issues in the future, but my guess is that you se me some value in holding on to it.

PS, was just in Canada. Great shopping with that low Canadian dollar, but I was surprised by how much the country had deteriorated since my last visit five years ago. [/quote]

And then after secondary and denied boarding--  what next?

The denied boarding would have occurred on the Mexico end and you would have had to go to the US Consulate to get him a passport or rebook a direct flight to Canada. Technically US citizens must present US docs when leaving the US too if asked (although there is no exit immigration), so he could have made him go to the Miami Passport Office 
If you think the Miami airport is bad, try that place. Honestly, Canadians aren’t very popular in the US right now, so he could have made your life miserable by merely detaining you long enough to miss your flight. There’s plenty they can do - don’t give them the opportunity. [/quote]
