"Short of building a wall...or stationing tens of thousands of border guards...there's not much either country can do to make the border impenetrable.Even in the heavily populated portion of the border that I know (New England and Quebec) it's a piece of cake to go either way."

Not really. They are walking up the roads. We have an army, station them on the border. Put illegal entrants in jail pending their deportation back to the US. The refugee stream will stop.

"Go to the Dakotas,Montana and Idaho (the middle of nowhere) a child could do it....in either direction."

GSC, my friend, rural people on both sides of the border know what is going happening on their land. A bunch of people who don't look like they belong will draw attention. A phone call to the authorities should do the trick.

Put illegal entrants in jail pending their deportation back to the US.

OK,yah...I can understand that.However,if they're not US citizens and don't have a Green Card (which would mean either that they were in the US illegally or on some kind of temporary visa) you'd have to deport them to their country of citizenship.

I've seen it written that there are some who enter the US illegally who,when caught,refuse to present any papers (passport,etc) and also refuse to identify their nationality.IIRC our courts have ruled that you can't deport such people and you can't detain them for any length of time.That means they get to stay.Don't know if the same is true Up North.
