The Ferry Point Bridge from St. Stephen, New Brunswick to Calais, Maine, was closed. "The five people who attempted to cross into the United States are not Canadians and are possibly illegal immigrants - possibly from Afghanistan."
"Possible illegal immigrants leave car, try to enter U.S. on foot, by Derwin Gowan for the Telegraph-Journal, October 19 (thanks to James):
ST. STEPHEN - The RCMP bomb squad stood by in St. Stephen Sunday night as American authorities questioned five people who attempted to enter the United States.The Canada Border Services Agency closed the Ferry Point Bridge from St. Stephen to Calais, Maine, shortly after 6 p.m. and asked the RCMP to divert traffic. Police at the Calais end of the bridge did the same.
Not only did the police not allow traffic across the bridge but, at the St. Stephen end, they did not allow motorists to drive up Milltown Boulevard past the end of it. Traffic coming one way detoured up Watson Street, the other way up Main Street, to Union Street.
The five people who attempted to cross into the United States are not Canadians and are possibly illegal immigrants - possibly from Afghanistan, RCMP J Division media relations officer Sgt. Claude Tremblay said late Sunday night from Fredericton.
"The reason we closed the bridge is because they left their vehicle and went on foot," Tremblay said....
10-minute misconduct, eh?
And ten to twenty in Leavenworth, too.
Five "people" got it? That's what we'll say for the first three paragraphs.
Well, we have to admit, they're not just any old "people." They may, just possibly, be illegal immigrants.
What? Did you ask for more details? Oh. They could have been possibly, we stress possibly from Afghanistan.
Afghani Christians or Jews no doubt. Couldn't possibly expect the article to ascribe any religious background or motivation (shhh... such as Islam) to these "people."
Everyone is doing their job here. Seems the “none” news effect of this story is waiting for the follow up…and what was in the car left behind? And why did Afghan nationals abandon their vehicle at what is a normal border crossing between our friendly nations? Why does anyone abandon vehicles this time of year (‘cause the weather is really starting to suck) at an international border without reason? AND, why is this a story in the first place, other than the reason being that questionable persons from a questionable country with a questionable ideology would be avoiding a legal border crossing?
Ya, it must be some sort of phobia to mention the nationality of the persons involved. Ya, that must be it.
Wait for it…only a mater of time before someone makes that parallel to the story…or maybe not…’cause the truth is that we, the majority of non-liberal realists realize that this is just what it appears to be: an illegal crossing thwarted by SOP.
Too funny, Wyldeirishman. You're killin' me here.
Read it all here, Pope turns Italian schools into Madrassas.

Muslim terrorists run wild all over the world, Canada, America, Milan ... now even the Pope turns his back on western civilization. Sad.
You have to check out this blog, this idiot thinks Israel needs to be replaced with a "secular" Palestinian government. A must see ... for stupidity.
