opened, to being sent into the office, to being shouted at, the stories were consistently discouraging.” “Friday evening I arrived at the border at 8 p.m. and the lineup was about one third of the way down the hill. I am Canadian and have a Nexus card, but realized that the Nexus lane was closed, which is clearly posted along the road (open 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.). It took 1.5 hours to get to the border window, because ass––e Canadians kept flying up the empty Nexus lane, finding the lane closed – Duh! – and butting in at the front of the line. Not how Nexus works, you stupid jerks!” “Why would the U.S. want to discourage commerce in Point Roberts? It doesn’t make sense. Why would they discourage business from visitors? It doesn’t make sense. It’s disgraceful.” “I was in the Nexus lane on Friday afternoon, which moved sporadically at best. I finally got to the booth – the officer was new. When asked, I told him I had groceries. He got impatient as I went through the list and told me to open my trunk. He looked in and said you’ve got rhubarb, that’s not allowed. When I disagreed, he said wait and disappeared into the building for 15 minutes (I timed it). Meaning everyone in that lane waited without moving for that time. When he finally came back, he handed me a folded sheet listing what people could take across the border. No mention of rhubarb and it was dated 2015. The most recent guidance on the USDA website is dated April 2023. Ridiculous!” Point Roberts Chamber of Commerce
