Rappers unable to cross the border

I found this article in Macleans.ca very interesting. I thought I would share:
rapper's war with border

Its about American musicians, particularly Chuck D. from Public Enemy, who are given a difficult time in crossing the Canadian border to play shows here. He states he is severely questioned treated with heavy security that he says resembles the Berlin Wall (something that was more humane.)
An immigration lawyer further discusses the topic saying that they are given a hard time due to minor offenses given in the states such as possession charges and DUIs. And this is not always of the musician but of someone in their entourage that is essential to the show.
Personally, I am glad Canadian Customs is strengthening their procedures and not giving way just because the ones crossing are famous celebrities. I believe everyone should be questioned thoroughly when entering the border no matter race or job description or status.
Anyways, check out the article. What is even more interesting is what Canadian rapper Belly says about Canadian customs officials.
