1. journalofajournalist: laughingsquid: Point Roberts, An Isolated American Exclave Attached to Canada When international treaties muck up, you end up with a ~20 block long American exclave of Canada. I’m genuinely curious how the hell the border patrol deals with this. The border guys are pretty good at this border, actually. They know everyone crosses over from Canada to pick up things they’ve had shipped there to get US shipping prices (way cheaper than shipping to Canada) and to get cheap gas. I’ve never been hassled either going to Point Roberts or coming back home, even when bringing back tons of stuff. There also isn’t a high school in Point Roberts so kids have to cross the border into Canada and then back into the States to go to school in Blaine.
