[history]
While the federal government focuses its attention and resources on combating illegal immigration and drug trafficking from Mexico, the United States ignores at its peril the dangers on its 4,121-mile border with Canada. More than 45 million cars and trucks, along with 80 million people, will cross the border this year from Canada into the United States. Any one of these people or vehicles could be hiding illegal aliens, carrying terrorists, transporting drugs or concealing weapons of mass destruction. These vehicles will be met by an undermanned force of immigration and customs inspectors, and a thinly stretched line of border agents. America must do a better job of securing the U.S.-Canada border.

" The unfortunate reality is that given the laxity of Canadian border control policies over the years it is entirely possible, if not likely, that there are more Ressams hidden in Canada, waiting for the opportunity to sneak across the border to kill large numbers of Americans. It is essential that the United States press Canada to take further actions to uproot the terrorists who migrated there by falsely claiming to be refugees. Equally important, the United States must provide adequate resources to enable our own guardians of the border to do their job." Yes, please, let's get serious about Canada. Canada is haven for terrorists and socialists. And we need to protect our borders. Canada is moving to accept Sharia law for Muslims. This is scary stuff and we need to wake up!!
