Several American immigration lawyers are calling for a review of all cases where Canadians were banned from entering the U.S. by former border officer Joel Helle, who pleaded guilty to harassing a Canadian last month.

Helle's record while he was a border official is coming under increased scrutiny.

"We believe each one of Mr. Helle's cases should be reviewed, because of his behaviour," said Duncan Millar, one of 26 lawyers who signed a letter to the director of the U.S. Customs and Border Protection's Seattle office, calling for a review.

DON'T PANIC

"It says wonderful things about the two countries [Canada and the US] that neither one feels itself being inundated by each other's immigrants."

I read this today and then saw it on my local news tonight. This is exactly what happened to me! I wasn't at the Blaine border crossing though, I was at the Huntingdon one in Abbotsford. Kinda wish it was him that gave me the 5 year ban...lol. He certainly has a "hate" on for Canadians.

I already emailed it to my attorney in Texas.
