[84attendees] US immigration vs. customs

[<[e-mail]>]

It's even possible to be in both places at once wrt different
parts of the US government.  On the train to Seattle, US
immigration was in Vancouver, but customs was at the border in
Blaine, WA.

A similar thing happens when a ship that's called
at foreign ports calls at a US port before its US destination;
immigration is at the first port (e.g., Key West), but customs
is at the destination (e.g., Miami).

Thanks,
