And yet accidentally crossing into the US is far more likely than the silly conspiracy theories you cooked up.
You should look in the mirror about silliness. There is no accidental crossing into the US from a city that is 30 miles or so from the border.

Vancouver, BC is not one of those places. It's not even on the border

I'm with you that this sounds fishy, but you are factually incorrect about Vancouver straddling the border. It's actually about 30 miles from the closest border vehicle crossing.

My mistake...I always thought it was next to Vancouver, WA.

The liars have been exposed. They were filmed from a drone deliberately crossing from Canada through a ditch that separates the two countries, no animal present or swerving (also, no one could agree what type of animal they avoided hitting). They had $16,000.00 in cash in the vehicle (amounts over $10,000.00 have to be declared at an official border crossing). They were followed and observed by the border patrol officer that eventually arrested them. The border patrol tried to return them to Canada but Canadian authorities would not allow them back into Canada. Probably looking to score some illegal drugs, unless it is normal for Europeans to illegally cross international borders with large sums of cash on hand, no wonder they were previously denied visas to enter the United States. Too bad they chose to involve the child on their criminal adventure.

Your sympathy for a family on holiday, with a 3 month old, accidentally cross a poorly marked(if marked at all) border and are treated as terrorists/drug runners, is noted.
If I was a drug runner, what better way to conceal that fact, then to look like a family on vacation?

Back in the 60s when I was in my 20s I knew a young man from England. He had arrived in Canada with his family when he was about 8. His father was a British diplomat posted to Regina, Saskatchewan. He finished University and had married when his father was called back to England. He stayed without realizing that he no longer had diplomatic status. He took a business trip without his wife down into North Dakota where he was involved in a traffic accident. Police arrested him and turned him over to immigration and he was deported to England the next day. Needless to say he got back to Canada PDQ and was fast tracked for Canadian citizenship which he got within a few weeks.
