This is a topic that we are starting to see continually on a daily
basis. Why would anyone ever admit to smoking Marijuana to U.S. Customs &
Border Protection? I think we should cover some basic background information as
to why CBP will even ask this question?
Sigh....this issue keeps coming up and is getting tiring. I don't know why Canadians admit to smoking Marijuana to CBP at the U.S. borders. Ok, I will keep it simple for people by giving 2 scenarios.
Scenario #1:
A. Admit to having ever smoked
Marijuana or any drug in your life to CBP at the border. The officer then tells
you that you are inadmissible for drug use and to file for a waiver. You will
have to file for the waiver for the rest of your life every few years.
Currently, the gov't application fee is $585us and there is a long list of
requirements to complete. The application could also get denied and you will
not receive a refund from Homeland Security. Note that they have to meet their
quota for denied entry cases, so the officers aggressively pursue these cases
so they can get promotions and pay step increases.
B. You do not admit to any drug
use and there is no issue nor will you have to get a waiver for drug use
because there is no record of it.
NOW I DON'T WANT TO
INFLUENCE WHICH DECISION YOU CHOOSE!
Scenario 2.
Ok so let us say that you wore
a ski mask and just robbed the Scotia Bank in Abbotsford B.C. You just escaped
in a car and absolutely no one could identify you or the car. You have
literally escaped detection, and no one can tie you into the crime. Now you are
driving up Hwy 1 and get stopped by Surrey RCMP for speeding. The uniformed
constable asks you why you are speeding and where are you coming from. You
calmly explain that you just robbed the bank in Abbotsford and need to hurry
home to hide the money. You also ask him not to tell the Abbotsford PD since
your crime did not occur in Surrey. So, he then places you under arrest and you
have no idea why! He even tells you why, but you try to explain that the crime
occurred in Abbotsford as opposed to Surrey.
People, this is the same
absolute thing! The same scenario also applies if you admit to any other
crimes that you had not been arrested or charged for. Just because you admit to
a criminal act in Canada does not mean that CBP will excuse it. The U.S.
immigration code is written to include crimes that you were convicted of, admit
to the elements or admit to committing the offence. Does not matter whether you
were arrested for it or not.
The border has issued a special
training pamphlet to their new officers. This pamphlet gives them guidance on
how to ask you the questions to trick you into a confession and how to do sworn
statements to be used against you. Luckily, we have a copy of that pamphlet and
we provide it to our VIP clients.
Btw...The Washington State
immigration lawyer has lost many cases but will brag that he has only lost one.
I know from personal experience since he was a former friend. He tries to get
as much media exposure regard Marijuana smoking cases as possible. He has
difficulty applying or understanding the fine points of U.S. immigration
inadmissibility law as per his own quotes. However, he does have very strong
knowledge in family green card applications. I am telling you inside info in
this blog that they or he will not share with you about how the system is
designed and works. My specialty is U.S. inadmissibility border crossing law
and that is my only focus.
So, in simple terms
regarding this blog...loose lips will sink your ship. Tight lips will allow you
to sail another day.
Now you may wonder why am being
so helpful since we are also in the waiver business and also process cases for
people that admitted to smoking Marijuana to CBP. Well, the answer is simple.
We earn more money by being bluntly truthful with clients as opposed to telling
them what they want to hear just to get paid. If you think about it, it is not
in my best interest giving you this inside information because our firm will
lose money too. The firm gets much respect and repeat business for being bluntly
honest with clients.
Btw this similar scenario will
apply if you already have been issued a us entry waiver. The waiver itself is
only good for the particular offence that was in your application (like Fraud).
Admitting to smoking Marijuana is a separate offence and could easily get your
waiver revoked. Let's say that you have a waiver for 3 Fraud convictions. CBP
then decides to get crafty and ask you if you have ever smoked Marijuana at any
time in your life. You answer yes because you did it when you were 19 and are
now 44. CBP will then revoke your waiver on the spot and tell you to go back to
Canada.
If you do this then you will
need a new us entry waiver www.usentrywaiverservices.com. Under
the INA, when you admit to Marijuana or any other drug use, you may be deemed an addict. If you are deemed as
such, you are admissible to the USA and may end up deeming yourself permanently
inadmissible.
If you admit to smoking
Marijuana, they may have you get a medical examination with Dr. Cheema to
determine if you are an addict. He is the only doctor in B.C. that can do this
examination. Also, note that the cost of this examination will come from your
pocket.
CBP has broad authority under
the U.S. Immigration Nationality Act to enforce American drug laws. It
does not matter that you have never been charged or convicted of a criminal
offence in your life. By your sheer admission means that you will now need us
entry waiver. See our website for more info on this important topic. Please
note by crossing the border with your medical Marijuana card will absolutely
set you up for questioning with CBP.

radio show at the link talking about this issue.
Bottom line is that whatever
you admit to will be used against you!
