Up Goes the Northern Wall: Windsor nurses working in Detroit denied entry to US

I had a Canadian salesman who was allowed to cross the border 2-4 times a day. Windsor/Detroit. Yet I was restricted by a decades old driving infraction.

Yes, unfortunately it works both ways.. Im Canadian, now a permanent US resident for about 5 years. One of my good friends [[ [[canadian ), has a 12 year old DUI, and he is not allowed to enter the US due to this. He now, can hire a lawyer, yearly, pay a 800.00 waiver fee and US Immigration will consider his request. Pretty crazy, great revenue generator.

It's also YMMV.

I have a relative who has a decades old conviction for fraud. He was long ago pardoned. Despite this, he did admit the prior conviction to CBP when asked. He applied for, and was granted, a NEXUS pass. He crosses back and forth freely. No waiver needed.
