An American family has been escorted across the B.C. border into Washington state after being caught apparently exploiting the 'Alaska loophole,' according to BC RCMP.

Most lanes at the Peace Arch Border Crossing are closed.VANCOUVER -- An American family has been escorted across the B.C. border into Washington state after being caught apparently exploiting the "Alaska loophole," according to BC RCMP.

Roberts said officers from the Vancouver Police Department located the vehicle and questioned the party of four to whom it belonged. Working with RCMP, the Public Health Agency of Canada and the Canada Border Services Agency, officers determined that the family had stayed in B.C. longer than it should have.

This is old news. Canada border patrol are not doing enough to make sure they are really going to Alaska instead of staying in Canada and hotels should ask for passports when checking in their guess.

Now this is interesting, here in Saskatoon I called the police station about a car with US plates in a Drivethru ahead of me. They were polite, but said they were not investigating such calls. Now I realize that they could legitimately be here. However, it is not a common thing.

I see US plates in Nothern Ontario, it's time to give them big fines and escort them to the border. Better yet don't let them drive they have to fly straight to Alaska.

Have they been fined?

RoxhamRoad Or did they cross legally and bring money? Loophole? Like the ones that keep our govt out of prison? Meaning it was legal?

Seriously!!! They should be fined and arrested! If not then put a stamp on their passport denying their entry in the future for forever!! Lesson has to be LEARNED!

They should be deported immediately and banned from entering Canada for 5 years.

Cocksuckers

fuckers

They were deported Don't need em

Why haven’t they come up with a little placard to hang from your rear view mirror that says they are ok to be here. I can’t imagine the nuisance calls the RCMP must get due to lack of clarification.

I’m just curious when open boarders stopped being a beautiful thing lol

Deport them immediately

PrideFort Well, simple solution. Close the Alaska loophole. It’s a privilege that has been misused. As a result, Americans can stay the fuck out. Period.

The penalty should be denied entry to Canada for 2-5 years...not a fine. Might me them think twice.🤔

So pleased they were caught!

Close the damn border. No exceptions

Here one in Davidian Sask

If ppl want to go to Alaska, they should fly there. This isn't the 1st time ppl have used the 'Alaska loophole' to ever Canada. Apparently ppl have been caught vacationing in Banff Alberta as well, who crossed the border claiming they were driving to Alaska.

Bc citizens have a right to fight for their right to party, Dix is a kook, Henry is a fraudster, a mask is a tampon on your face to feminize and condition you, don’t get tested cause bc don’t really test, stay away from hospitals, don’t give Telephone , like 1999 scamdemic imo

Throw the book at them. You don’t go another country and break their laws

Kick them out, fine them a shit ton of money and ban them for 10 years. The good old USofA bans people for 10 years all the time. Do it in return

Saw Missouri, Kansas, and North Dakota plates on SK Highway 11 going north on Thursday afternoon. Hope they are going to Alaska & not fishing in North SK.

Charge them

Send them back!

Send them home and put their names on a no entry list.

Put tracking device on vehicle and only take off once they reach the northern boarder

Good. Now throw the book at ‘em.

I saw a Pennsylvania plate in the Niagara Region of Ontario today. These people need to be escorted to the border, fined and permanently banned from Canada.

Hahaha. You Americans. 🤭

Oh my gosh, I’m sure they’re shaking in their boots. 😳 They can always say they crossed illegally, sorry, irregularly, at which point they will be welcomed with free housing, medical and dental.

Maybe close the laughable 'Alaska loophole', just makes Canada look so naive.

Good now don’t let them back across they can fly home instead and figure out what to do with their car with Alaskan plates between now and whenever pandemic ends or their ban is lifted

Time to close the Alaska loophole. Let them fly there or ferry there. CanadianPM

Fine this American family the maximum amount of money for violating the Alaska Loophole law of travel when caught vacationing in Vancouver. $100,000. should just about teach this family they can’t disobey Canadian laws.

Punishment must be much stronger.

What happened to the 750k fine?

Covid is not worth worrying about in any way

They should be barred from entering Canada ever again.

lol. Just one?!!! There’s been so many! They should be banned.

I see American Plates everyday on 400 series hwys! What 😳 up with that? Should be a phone 📱 number to report them! Cheers 🍻

Way to set an example for your children. Smh

Only $500? We should not allow entry even if they go to Alaska. They should either stay away or fly over.

Does BC do public executions?

Dump them in the water. They can swim to the nearest US city.

Ban them for life.

Their vehicle should be confiscated!

For everyone caught 99 get away, but this is still not news worthy.

They should never have been allowed past the border..... you can fly or take a ship from the US to get there, a closed border should be a closed border

Bend over, hey, bend over !

They should have gps on them and when they get to the other boarder at Alaska they can remove them 🤔

Keep the borders closed indefinitely.

Good for them! Thank you for boosting Canadian economy 😘 during this unfortunate Plandemic.

We're destroying all our tourism.

CanadianPM Why should it be only $500? As always, we 🇨🇦, fall short when setting the penalties Let’s set an amount we know they will think 🤔 twice before breaking the law We’re fighting hard to keep the virus contained; we don’t need more challenges from our neighbours 😷🤓

Yeah, worry about the US family...

Send them back with a lifetime ban.

Remember this headline. In a few years it will show up as the pinnacle of 2020 insanity as people for centuries will wonder. What the fuck is going on here?!

there is a much bigger loophole at roxham rd if you care to report

Better keep the family out wouldn’t want them spending money here or enjoying the beautiful Canadian parks

Lock em up 🤬
