where would you sue them? (Canadian law doesn't apply to them) Visa to USA is a privilege IT IS NOT a right.
Very well said. People should look at the cdn job market (especially for immigrants) and the possible ways to improve it - rather than thinking of ways to sue the USCIS/border agents for the work visa denials!

That's what I have stated in my original quote
"Apart from that, if law permits; concerned....."

I believe, if one is sure that everything is in order and nothing is wrong from one's side, then, all such incidents should be reported to news media not only in Canada but also in U.S.A. Apart from that, if law permits; concerned border agents should be sued individually. Because if more and more people bring this kind of incidents to media and legal systems than only one can expect that respective government would consider alternative citizen friendly procedures.

The article rings loud and clear for many Canadians who visit US.
The US border and patrol guards are your modern day version of Gestapo. Their arrogance is astonishing and has to been seen to be believed. They consider themselves beyond accountability of any law on this planet. On the other hand, the Canada govt are helpless and shrug anytime complaints are bought to them.
I (and many friends) have personally been on the receiving end several times and have stopped traveling to US altogether. By contrast, traveling to Europe and other countries is such a pleasant and warm experience.
At the end of the day, it's our choice to use our hard-earned tourist money for something other than promoting bloodshed and invasions around the world.
I say, just take a vacation to CUBA for a fun filled and violence free holidays every year.
I hope everyone can pen down their experiences at the US borders.

Mine and my family's experience has been quite positive so far. This is based on an experience of
1) crossing Windsor-Det tunnel and bridge 5 times a day for most of the year for the past 6+ years;
2) entering US several, several times into Detroit, Houston and Newark from Europe, Mexico and India (mostly business trips); and
3) entering US via land several times from Mexico across Reynosa-Pharr bridge, Progresso bridge and main Reynosa bridge.

I had similar experience as dimple. I had 2 TN visas 1) at Pearson 2) at Peace bridge (not a single question asked both times) and I constantly travel between US/Canada. Everytime I had pleasant experiences at border and airports with US and Canadian Officials.

I guess you are missing the essential essence of the article.
The guy mentined in the article with out a university degree and is in a job which pretty vauge. I am sure that the employer can find an American to do that job.
The same would apply to a Civil engineer and who is into IT b'cos he did a 3 months Aptech course in Oracle. When this individual tries to enter USA through the border on a TN visa, it is sure that he will be bound to raise some eyebrows of atleast some boder guards. I am sure that all border problems are due to some subjective causes such as this.
For objective people ( Mechanical engineer for a Mechanical job in the USa), I am sure that it will not be much of an hassle./
