I know, he's American right? So why was he arrested for trying to enter the country?

Randy Quaid was arrested by border authorities trying to enter America from Canada. (He should have tried it down here huh? It's easy enough.) Quaid and his wife fled to Canada to avoid felony vandalism charges after being found "squatting" in the guesthouse of a home they once owned.

Randy was arrested once in Montreal for not checking in with Border authorities and the couple both face failure to appear charges from 2010 as well as the vandalism charges. Quaid says they're being persecuted and stalked by "Hollywood Star Whackers" who killed his friends Heath Ledger and David Carradine.  He also says the couple's recent behavior and videos ... including several sex tapes ... made on social media are just their way of expressing themselves.

No wonder he played that weird, creepy relative in the Vacation movies so well. He IS weird and creepy.
