I still don't know why the immigration officers couldn't find my info by my name/ssn/driver license, but finally in their office they called somewhere and verified my status. Why?

I think this is the problem, could your info be wrong in their database? a few days ago I saw some news about an american citizen got fired because of the wrong record.

哥们,你到了墨西哥,指望能用驾照进入美国?美加边境无所谓,但是你把墨西哥当加拿大了,事情性质就变了。除非你回的是加拿大,否则任何时候离开美国一定要带上加拿大护照。这是常识,不是吗?

I feel sorry for your experience. People in Canada don't realize how nice the Canadian government people are. What you experienced can happen to anybody, including Americans. You have to be very careful nowaday.

同感,美国这边的政府官员似乎又蠢又粗鲁的远比加拿大多,多得多。

在加拿大能找到工作的都是人才,特别是在政府工作的。没本事的才去美国。

你差不多歇了吧。 你愿意去美国就去贝。还老以在加拿大的身份说一些看不起去美国的话 -- 你原来受什么刺激啦?这么长时间都缓不过来?

除了移民局的人以外,我所遇到的美国这边的政府官员(税务局,驾照部门等等)绝大多数都非常友善。(我只是说一下我个人的经历,从来没期望我所说的话是放之四海而皆准。)

这个问题要透过现象看本质:美国境内有几千万非法移民,它在世界上最想移民的国家里名列榜首,同时它也是各种恐怖活动的目的地,因此它不得不加强国家安全控制,这些情况加拿大都没有或不严重,所以过关或上飞机时被多问几个问题也就不足为怪了。

另外,美国的司法制度规定,任何人在被证明有罪前都被认为是无辜的;美国的移民制度规定则相反,任何外国人在被证明合法居住前都被认为是有移民倾向的。这也是在美国审查严,盘问多的原因。

ReThe Valley area ( including McAllen) is a special area. Mexicans are easy to get a kind of visa for shopping in the states for 72 hours. But they are not allowed to go further into the inland. There are border partrol stations around 1 hour driving up north on the highway. So you need to bring your passport everytime you take the airplan or drive north. I am very sorry to hear your bad experience, however, they just did their job.

I have traveled alot, especially international travel. The U.S. immigration is the worst. They don't even treat their own people well. So this is what I do whenever I cross the border:1. Get ALL document ready. I mean ALL.
2. Be presentable. Men need to shave and dress well.
3. Polite but brief. Only answer the questions you were asked.
4. Never joke with them. They don't have a sense of humor and they take everything seriously.
They have the authority to push people around. Yes, you do have some legal rights, but not at the border. There will be no apology if they make a mistake.

ReTotally agree with you. I travelled many times between US and Canada border. The officers are rude. However, if you travel within US, you usually don't need to bring your passport. McAllen is very special. Although it is a US city, you MUST bring your passport everytime you travel to other places in US. Many illegal Mexical immigrants will be retricted in this area.

去边境城市自然必须带护照,其实国内旅行也应该带着的。

搬家可以找 United Van Lines。他们根据重量,最少2100磅,from Toronto to Ohio 900公里S1900。I think they are trustful and professional. It has their local agents going to your home to estimate. They will estimate for you.

Sorry to hear your bad experience. Best wishes to you and your family.
From this stroy, what we learned is to remember important ID number correctly.

这是你自己的问题。第一,你是加拿大公民,所以你要旅行的话,一定要戴上加拿大护照和TN签证。第二,你才到美国几个月,你的信息和各种记录不健全,因而你要更加小心。第三,你的银行取消你的帐户,就足以说明你提供的信息有缺陷。所以,你的经历只会发生在你自己的身上,和美国官员的态度以及无知无关。完全是你自己的原因。
不要诅咒加拿大,不要诅咒美国,也不要诅咒墨西哥。北美自由贸易协议给了我们大陆技术移民最好的礼品,就是:我们不是美国人,我们也可以合法地在美国工作;北美自由贸易协议挽救了成千上万的大陆技术移民的生命,在加拿大找不到自己专业工作的在美国找到了。
消消气,总结自己的经验教训,努力工作,忘却不愉快的过去,展望未来,祝你有更加美好的事业前途。

同情+可怜。事情值得人同情,但是你自己也没注意,怎么那么粗心呢。还好人没事,而且看得出你是个好同志,还把东西写出来,警惕后人。以后当心点吧。
