Back in 1965-66 when we ere living outside Montreal we drove down
to Missiquoi Bay just north of Vermont to spend some time with
friends. When we left in the evening I realized we were low on
fuel, and I realized I wouldn't have enough to drive back to
Montreal. I figured we'd just drive down across the border into
Vermont and fill up. As we drove south down a rural road we came
to a T-intersection in the middle of nowhere where a large sign
announced that we had entered the United States and told us to
proceed to the nearest manned border crossing. The actual border
was totally invisible to us and we never saw it.
I assume it's less porous than that these days.
