They may casually chat your daughter up, but you might catch what they are gently checking for is human trafficking. We just noticed this in the past few years. My husband and I are Caucasian with different last names and passport from different countries. My daughter has a different last name from both of us and is not Caucasian. For around 10 years we crossed the Canada/US border without anyone blinking an eye or questioning.

I'm flabbergasted too

Even MAGAs like to travel.

How do they maintain their ignorance then? Must be tough.

I think this is ok. If it was 2 AA parents (any sex) with a white child, I'd be concerned.

College aged daughter? I think she'll be ok.

I'll be overtipping when we visit with my Biden/Harris hat.

Which state are re-entering? It shouldn't matter but certain states seem to be problematic

Is that true?
Will Canada really not let non-citizens in if they have committed a crime?

Many countries have such restrictions.

I hate that we will make exceptions, for a price.

Almighty dollar over all else. 😩

Just don't do that. Why would you be controversial with a total stranger while confined in their car?
