    Australian man arrested in the US for overstaying his visa for 90 minutes

    A Canberra man has been imprisoned by immigration officials in the United States for overstaying his US visa by less than two hours, after being denied entry to Canada.

    Baxter Reid, 26, and his American girlfriend, Heather Kancso, travelled to the Canadian border in upstate New York before Mr Reid was arrested by US border police on Sunday, April 24 local time.

    Mr Reid is now imprisoned at Buffalo Federal Detention Centre where he could face six months in jail before his case is heard by a judge.
    Serves him right, criminal scum! /s

    I think you don't get automatically a new visa when you leave the US for a few days outside. That I-then-go-for-a-day-to-CA-or-MX might not work like it does in HK.

    So if I was to kill someone in no mans land who would arrest me? Under which jurisdiction would I be charged with murder?

    It doesn't matter, so long as you claim that person is a drug user.

    This guy could have bought a flight to Australia online and use that to get into Canada, no?
