Musical Border Crossing

[Tim Jaques]

The difference with the Canadians is that I am a Canadian too, and they can't keep me out of the country.  So I have given them a piece of my mind from time to time.  I used to cross the border at Windsor very frequently, and there is no doubt in my mind the American border guards were not merry people.  Now, I've landed at Bolt Castle and the guy didn't even get out of his shed to look at our boat, and the man in Vermont offered me some road maps.  It might be where you enter.

Anyway, an immigration lawyer explained to me once that for work visas to the US you have to fit yourself into a little box.  If you get into the little box, you will be rubber-stamped.  If you don't, no amount of pleading and begging will get you in.  His skill was finding the right little box for people who wanted a US work visa.
