The northern border is far more secure!!

Really? Terrorist have used that border to enter the US. But that doesn't really matter does it?

At some point, if serious Mexican border control occurs, the Canadian border may be where the majority of terrorist invasion attempts will be launched from (if not simply by coming in by boat).

But that’s not today.

The terrorists who crossed here were caught. How many do you suppose have crossed our southern border?

And yes, there are only 30 million Canadians INSIDE CANADA. There are possibly that many Mexicans here now.

Get the point????

The only ones that I know of came in legally through that border. When they start sneaking in, or when (and if) Canada decides to be a conduit for Mexican other people entering this country, then it will be time for a wall.

Terrorist have used that border to enter the US.

And their names are?

"Really? Terrorist have used that border to enter the US. But that doesn't really matter does it?"

Here's the truth of that matter. I came back here from eastern Canada once, when there was a terrorist alert for the West. Canadian security was tight, even though it slowed travelers down a little. Sikh security was impressive. They obviously had knowledge of every traveler and searched every Middle Eastern man. Saw it in person.

Terrorists can get over any kind of wall or wire obstacle very quickly and easily. I specialized in obstacles in military training and have quite a bit of experience in civilian security and technical work. Men with construction experience can also cross obstacles very quickly, so a wall on the Mexican border wouldn't do much good, either.

The War on Terror will either have to be won with real soldiers overseas or a huge mess for years involving civilians on our own soil. Police work here alone isn't going to do it. Police aren't able to monitor everyone all of the time, and it's not really their job (little experience there in the past, too).

As for excessive Mexican illegal immigration, denying jobs by getting tough on employers will be the only major way.
