Do the Border Patrol People give you a hard time if you take someone NOT in your family across the border?

Question

My cousins want to come with my and my mom when we go shopping in the US. We're from Canada.

i DOUBT that there would be any trouble, but im asking just in case.

Answer 1

There is always trouble with us customs but the worst that's gonna happen is that they will ask a lot of questions. Just be sure to know when is his birthday, how long you know him and that kind of stuff.

Also the new law states that he needs official documents to travel to the U.S. so it will be much simpler with a visa/ birth certificate.

Answer 2

first of all its no boarder patrol its customs second if there over 18 no

Answer 3

nope i'm in georgia.  

Answer 4

Nope. They try to be very profesional actualy. But people do have long work days and do get tired of standing on their feet. Make sure there are no ciggs or bottles of alchol, everyone has the proper ID and that the car has the current insurance and regestration stickers and you will be fine. They will want to know everyones nationality, ask to see proof of nationality and your purpose in the country and if you are bringing anything harmful backwith you/or have anything to declair(like fruit,vegetables, or firearms). listen carefully, be polite and answer to the best of your abilities and it will be a breeze.

Answer 5

I was born and raised in a border town. Customs will ask what your nationality is. The same rules will apply to them as they apply to you. If you need a visa they will need one.  

Answer 6

no, not really. if the person is under 18, you need a signed note from their parents w/ phone numbers and everything, saying where you are going, when you are coming back, and what the purpose of your travel is. then you just need their passport or birth certificate... have fun! :D
