An Amherst woman who got caught trying to sneak across the U.S. border in the trunk of her American fiance’s sports car says the couple, who met online, will find a way to spend their lives together despite any legal obstacles.

Dora Arlene Sauveur, 36, was arrested July 19 at the border crossing at Houlton, Maine, and served 23 days in a county jail at Bangor, Maine. Her friends started calling her "trunk monkey" and "suitcase" after her arrest.

Her fiance, Martin Ellis Crossno, 34, of South Carolina started serving a similar jail term last week.

Ms. Sauveur is banned from visiting the United States for 20 years and Mr. Crossno is now a convicted felon and might not be allowed to visit Canada.

Ms. Sauveur said the couple will find a way to be together, even if it means moving to France or Mexico or living in tents across from each other at the Canada-U.S. border.

"I’m sure we’re going to figure something out," she said. "We’re getting married."

well ... that's one wat to do it, albeit not successful!

dangggg

I snuck into drive-in theatres that way .. never thought about a whole country

Sounds like BOTH of em are a few bricks short....

What a pair of idiots! Why couldn't they get a visa like everyone else?

Guess they never found VJ!!

Hope it was worth it to them!

The phrase 'they didn't think that through' has never BEEN more appropriate.
Good grief!

chopf##ks

Couldn't be more appropriate... I wonder how they plan on sneaking into Mexico or France to start their new life?

And this little sentence jumped out at me.....
She started the application process for American citizenship, met Mr. Crossno’s parents and took him to Canada to meet her family in July.

she was applying for citizenship?????????

Well if they DO get on Oprah, this is one I won't miss, that's for sure...

I wondered the same thing about the 'applying for citizenship'.

Well...duurrr! Couple of eejuts!

not the way to do it

Some people just aren't all there are they? They just messed things up for themselves so much!

I agree

the dirty feckers...

Right you are Father Jack

Someone please tell this couple they can file for K1.

I dont think she can file for a K1 now, she tried to cross illegally. Permanent ban for life now I would imagen!!!

Actually, she´ll prolly be deported for 10 years, after which she can try filing for k1.

Do you think they will give her the K1...I highly doubt that. BIG RED FLAG THERE!!!!

with the illegal immigrant mess going on she can wait for her amnesty.
