MAGA Dad, Trump supporter, 40 years in US on green card, Blocked from reentry after Canada vacation

“I’ve been torn from my family. My life has been disregarded completely.”


A New Hampshire man is facing a lot of uncertainty as he tried to
return home from a trip from Canada. He was blocked. says he's lived here in New
Hampshire for over 40 years. He goes back and forth to Canada at least once a year and has never
had a problem until now. I'm a legal resident, green card holder. I have been since 1981.

Chris Landry has lived in New Hampshire since he was three years old. He has a partner,
five children and a job in manufacturing. He was stopped at the border in Houlton, Maine, on
Sunday while returning from a family vacation to Canada. They pulled me aside and started
questioning me about my past convictions in New Hampshire. Three hours later, the 46 year
old was told he couldn't come home despite having a green card and being a legal U.S. Resident.

they denied me reentry and said, don't come back or we will. We will detain you. And the only
way for me to get back in was to see an immigration judge. In 2004 and 2007, Landry faced
charges of marijuana possession and driving with a suspended license, but says he's had no
criminal record since he was given a suspended sentence and paid his fines. So I never
thought that that would threaten my, my, my status as a resident

he couldn't vote for president,
but he did support Donald Trump.

"I was definitely, you know, all for Make America Great Again and
having a strong, unified country and a and a, you know, bright
future for my five American children. But now I feel a little differently"

“I was definitely all for ‘Make America Great Again’ and having a strong, unified country and a bright future for my five American children, but now I feel a little differently,” he told NBC Boston. “I’ve been torn from my family. My life has been disregarded completely.”

Landry was detained for three hours at the port of entry in Houlton, Maine, and was questioned about decades-old charges for marijuana possession and driving under a suspended license. He told NBC Boston that he was convicted of those charges in 2004 and 2007 and paid fines for both. He said that he received a suspended 60-day prison sentence for each charge and has not had any other run-ins with the law.

That did not stop border agents from treating him like a criminal, he said.

Study finds that genes play a role in empathy

A new study published today suggests that how empathic we are is not just a result of our upbringing and experience but also partly a result of our genes.

Empathy has two parts: the ability to recognize another person’s thoughts and feelings, and the ability to respond with an appropriate emotion to someone else’s thoughts and feelings. The first part is called ‘cognitive empathy’ and the second part ‘affective empathy’.
...
In a new study published in the journal Translational Psychiatry, the Cambridge team, working with the genetics company 23andMe and a team of international scientists, report the results of the largest genetic study of empathy using information from more than 46,000 23andMe customers. The customers all completed the EQ online and provided a saliva sample for genetic analysis.

The study was led by Varun Warrier, a Cambridge PhD student, and Professors Simon Baron-Cohen, Director of the Autism Research Centre at Cambridge University, Thomas Bourgeron, of the University Paris Diderot and the Institut Pasteur, and David Hinds, Principal Scientist at 23andMe.

The new study has three important results. First, it found that how empathetic we are is partly due to genetics. Indeed, a tenth of this variation is due to genetic factors. This confirms previous research examining empathy in identical versus non-identical twins.


It's still 90% due to "upbringing and experience" (such as being taught to be a bigot by your racist parents).

I just don’t get it. A permanent resident is simply not the same as an actual citizen. This idiot should have known a green card could be revoked and he could be deported. But that was for those people.

He was too lazy or stupid to bother, or just figured he was too privileged (maybe due to hmmmm I wonder what’s different about him vs all those Latinos).

with Green Cards / legal residency.

I don't think he did - he came here at three and his parents should have guided him better - but plenty of people live here on green cards for decades, just as many American expats live in their adopted countries for their whole lives without getting citizenship there.

There's never been an expectation that your green card would be revoked over minor violations, especially not almost 20 years after they've been adjudicated. This is a bonkers story, even without the leopards eating one's face angle that everybody seems to be relishing.

I have some friends who have dual citizenship either Swiss & American or German & American. It used to be rather easy to do that, but not any more. Not everyone wants to give up their original birth-country citizenship. It doesn't mean they are disloyal to the USA though.

If Canadians are living here legally, raising their families and paying their taxes, why is the US government abusing its power like this?

Jul 2025

for fifty years was pulled over at a small Ohio airport while returning from a trip to Pelee Island. Two little 85 y/o ladies coming back from a sweet vacation. The custom officer pulled the green card from my friend’s hand and said we don’t have permanent cards anymore. Because of her finger pricked diabetic thin skin we made three different trips for them to attempt to pull fingerprints so they could reissue a card. After the last failed attempt they told her she would need to contact the chief of police in every community she had lived in to verify her record was clean. No small feat as she had traveled the US for a lifetime with her husband who was an FAA official. The entire thing was a ridiculous exercise. It caused heartache and frustration fearing she would what…return to Canada with no family or caregivers? We waited for the letters to come in and after almost a year finally got the replacement green card. One she would need to renew over time. We knew then that trouble was brewing…..

I have been living in Germany for many years, and have no intention of giving up my US citizenship. Less than a century ago, Europe was a total mess headed for another world war after having just finished one. The likelihood if it happening again is small, but mostly thanks to our grandfathers, not the Europeans themselves. My US passport is my safety path back home should baser instincts once again prevail, and the AfD tells me they still could. My German residence is, on the other hand, my safety valve against the Republican God Squad getting too control freak power mad back home.

There are no guarantees anywhere, just efforts to cover my ass as best as I can. We made sure our daughters were dual nationals so they would be un-expellable in both the USA and the EU. They did the same for their children. Reagan, Cheney and Trump have shown that our shining city on the hill does not always shine, and Europe has shown that socialism makes for control freak countries that far more people want to leave than move into.

It’s ridiculous to insist that a resident of another country MUST give up his or her nationality. If they meet the requirements, speak the language and live productive lives, then what the hell, man, let them stay and live in peace. I thought we were for freedom of choice, or did that suddenly get limited to abortions while I wasn’t looking?

all of the life you built being here in the US I think he is in a far better country right now in Canada. I think he may want to consider that and think about moving his family to Canada as well. America as we all had become accustomed is gone and because of the extreme gerrymandering, propaganda media, voter suppression, wealth inequality, dark money groups, rigged Supreme Court, military in the streets, arrests for political views, constant attacks on people of lower means etc. the idea that we can rapidly turn it back around is not likely.

We may win Congress in the mid-terms but there is every likelihood that the GQP will be obstructionist to rolling back anything that has been done, preventing further damage or having effective oversight and accountability. I'm not saying we give up but I am saying that given the situation this man should know it is unlikely he is coming back for many years and his presence in the life of his family and being together is the highest priority. The children face a declining educational environment here in the US and an increasingly propagandizing media brainwashing the public rather than supporting critical thinking and independence.

39. Because I have become cynical as hell
Fri Jul 11, 2025, 08:40 AM
Jul 2025

I had to wonder why he would not become a citizen of the usa. My first thought is he didn't become a citizen here because he goes to Canada for the free health care and perhaps takes his children there for health care. Because he goes once a year, at least, this time he only had 2 of his 5 children. His partner and 3 children didn't go on the " family vacation " with him?
But he has to be a resident of Canada to get free care, being a citizen doesn't automatically qualify you.

Chris Landry is not listed in the Assessing & Tax records in Peterborough NH. Neither is his partner Jessica Bekier. I did find them as possible renters of a house in Peterborough.

Told you I'm cynical. After 40 years and not becoming a citizen it just seems to me he's getting something out of it.

Couldn't vote. Supported Trump anyway - probably with money or merchandise purchases. Let me spell out his concern: Too many brown people for his taste. But, wait, he's a good guy and has been here for 40 years! Has a green card and everything! How could they do this to him? He's a Trumpy white man!

FAFO.

Because of assholes like this we have our own brown shirt army operating outside of the law, and that is only going to grow in size. He's lucky they didn't ship his ass to Alligator Hell.

But it is really hard to feel bad for him. I'll reserve that for the people who are stuck in a foreign torture prison or US genocide camp.

53. He's white, though, so he wasn't sent to a Salvadoran gulag

For every one of you 50 others were torn from their families and were never to be seen or heard from again.
I wouldn't be whining.

He was detained for three hours and questioned about prior drug convictions at the Canadian border. Guess what? That happens. He wasn't thrown in Gitmo for three months.

He wasn't "torn from his family," for three hours!

He looks pretty comfy now, sitting on a couch in what is probably his New Hampshire home.

He couldn't, and didn't vote for the fugly felon.

He's looking for donations, or notoriety, or both.

Your fellow Americans warned you, repeatedly. Still, you sat listening to the propaganda before you, and chose to support a hit-witted criminal. Not sorry for you. You should have voted for the prosecutor.

Somehow, people who voted for Trump thought that fact would shield them from the chaos Trump forces onto the country.

Not as if you can pull out a 'get out of jail free' card, or were given an indelible forehead stramp saying you would untouchable from Trump's disruptive games when you voted.

Hopefully the new Canadian citizen has worked out his mistake for himself.

Not much sympathy for this deported guy, but I loathe the proud cruelty with which this fucking administration lectures this guy about how a geeen card is a privilege.
