U.S. Customs and Border Protection - Peace Arch Port of Entry — Local services in Blaine

Officers at the Peace Arch Port of Entry SEE and INTERROGATE all non U.S citizens like your a criminal..... moody behaviour by all officers. would be nice if they were monitored & reviewed by another independent agency / people onsite to see if they are doing there job correctly and fairly. im sure to many people are unfairly treated here just to enter the U.S. there screening process is very heavy and unfriendly even for people that are coming from first world countries to visit the U.S. they act and talk like you have done something wrong when all you want to do is just visit the U.S. they create a very unpleasant experience before entering. the feeling they create is like your not welcome here and what ever is happening now is most likely going to end with you getting rejected to enter because i just feel like it, reminder here this the felling you get when your not hiding anything. i understand there are people that want to come to stay and work in the U.S but seriously i am Australian citizen that has travelled the world clearly on the passport, live and come from a first world country, very unlikely for me to stay & work illegally and me and my wife got heavy interrogated. waste of our and there time & resources. they need to reinvent there screening process. officers need further training. you cant see, act and talk like everyone's a criminal. start of with your questions friendly and if you notice something that sounds odd then go diving with you interrogation mode. so highly suspicious of everyone. wrong sensing by the officers. paranoia to it's finest. further note.

i was crossing from Canada you would think should be fine they should be less paranoid not like i landed in a plane from the middle east or crossing from mexico. i've already entered Canada. i'm a australian citzen. i'm traveling with my wife. further more i answered all your random questions.

ask your questions it's your job ofcourse but dont treat people like there criminals wanting to enter your country. energy is off.

eventually entered the U.S but the excitement to visit the U.S was destroyed by the U.S customs..... Forgot to mention the officer that approved our entry surprise surprise forgot to give us our orange form back to exit the port to enter the U.S with our vehicle. so we had drive back to the building and go back inside to get it from him as he forgot to give it to us. was just on his table. NO SORRY NOTHING LIKE WE FORGOT IT THERE. ACTING LIKE IT WAS OUR FAULT!

a very unpleasant experience. i've always heard its disgusting to enter the U.S and sure it was even as a married couple. cant imagine if you tried to enter on your own. wishing all travellers travelling to the U.S a safe travel and be prepared to be INTERROGATED....

CANT IMAGINE CROSSING FROM MEXICO WITH A NON WESTERN...

I cross the Washington border dozens of times a year and usually take the Peace Arch crossing, never having an issues whatsoever. On Saturday, Jan 7th 2023, Waze routed me through the Blaine crossing. The crossing was poorly managed, with only 3 booths open but only two lines. This meant that the lane on the right would move significantly faster because it eventually splits into two.

That’s fine, we patiently waited our turn in the slower line. When we finally pulled up to the booth, the officer looked at us and our vehicle for about 10 seconds before acknowledging us or taking our passports. He asked where we were going and we said to watch the Seahawks game. He asked us for tickets, but our friend has season tickets and we didn’t have a copy. He rudely retorted “if you don’t have tickets this is going to be a problem. This is an international border crossing, this isn’t Canada.” We’ve been to many Seahawks games and have never been asked for tickets, and our friend was driving on the highway. He had to pull over on the side of the highway and send us screenshots of the tickets.

While we were waiting, he made racist comments as he could not make out the difference between my wife and her friend (both Asian), and kept saying “I’m sure the people behind you would love to get processed” - as if he wasn’t the one making a big fuss about the tickets. When we finally showed him the screenshot, he didn’t even look at it and threw our passports back at us. Extremely unprofessional and rude, we were nothing but respectful and willing to provide everything he was asking for. This man was clearly on a...

An extremely unpleasant experience, crossing the border today from Canada. I’m a legal resident of the US and often travel to Canada for travel. Today as I travel back into the US, I was encountered by a racist officer. We did some shopping while in Canada and purchased items that were made in China. While we didn’t think there would be any issues with the purchase since it was accessories and we had declared it. But the officer’s tone was very disrespectful. He treated us like we are criminals. He then sent us in saying because the items are made in china we have to pay a 25% tax on that item itself. But we had other items in the car that weren’t made in china that didn’t get taxed. He then proceeded to question our occupation and asked why we are able to afford this. To me, it didn’t seem like it should be his business of how and why I can afford it. But overall, I’ve never heard that items that are made in China must be taxed at 25%. Though I am more frustrated by the way the officers treated us. We are legal residents, traveling for leisure. Yet we are questioned as if we are criminals. But it seems he treated us like that because we are Asia. Very discriminating behaviors. These officers should be evaluated by an agency. I don’t think they should be allowed to treat people like that. It’s disrespectful and just an abuse of...
