Actually, given the fact that there's a significant French-Canadian population, I think that could be a distinct possibility.

Admittedly, the three Canadian provinces that border Montana are among the least French-speaking (though there are siginificant pockets of Francophonia like Bonnie Doon in Edmonton or Maillardville in Vancouver) , and I don't know why one would want to cross the US border illegally. Mexicans, yeah, but French Canadians?

That said, if border patrol profilers are being consistent (fat chance, I know), they probably would be asking people speaking French for their IDs. Admittedly, an influx of French-Canadians going across the border would be far more likely to swarm New England than Montana, but still.

But he specifically said that he requested their IDs because it was unusual to hear someone speaking Spanish, the implication being that if it was a language he heard a lot, he wouldn't have detained them.

And, of course, that still doesn’t go against what I said.

This is a list of the language stats for Montana I found on citydata.

You’ll notice that Spanish is still higher than French on the list. Hell, it’s four times more prevalent than French.
