Trump reiterates tough immigration stance
US BORDER officers have foiled an Australian woman’s plan to sneak her Mexican fiance illegally across the US-Canadian border.
Sarah Louise Branch, 37, from Sydney, entered a guilty plea in the US District Court in the northeast US state of Maine to a charge of encouraging and inducing the entry of an illegal alien into the US.
Ms Branch is being held behind bars by the US Marshals ahead of her sentencing.
She faces a maximum five years in prison and a $US250,000 ($A346,400) fine.
US federal prosecutors told the court Ms Branch and Benigno Godinez-Cortez, 46, hatched a plan involving the couple separately entering the US from Canada on July 10 and meeting up later.
Ms Branch drove to the US border entry point at Calais, Maine, in her Honda Odyssey van and Godinez-Cortez, just 800 metres away, illegally crossed on foot by walking along a train trestle.
Eagle-eyed US Custom and Border officers quickly thwarted the plan.https://www.news.com.au/world/north-americ
