I didn't get a good feeling from your comment's contrast between "a woman from Jamaica" and "normal folks".

Surely being from Jamaica is a thing that normal folks do, if that's where they're from.

A) At the Canadian / American physical border crossing, you get mostly Canadians and Americans, not other nationalities.

B) A lone Jamaican, with a car full of luggage

C) No travel reservations

D) Jamaica is a poor country, likely higher rates of immigration issues.

These are red flags.

The 'border game' is a game of probabilities.
