Having a criminal record makes foreign travel illegal; this includes trips to the USA. If you are caught crossing the border illegally you risk being arrested, detained and/or deported. Foreign customs agents may also seize your property, including your vehicle. If you have been denied entry into the United States and/or have a criminal record in Canada, you will need to apply for a waiver for legal entry into the U.S.
My Uncle had a criminal record from 35 years ago and was denied entrance into Hawaii. I know you can not enter the US with a criminal record.
