I do think that his proposal will go a long way to stopping this. And, many undesirable people try to get in from Canada. That is one thing that bothers me about the proposal--why shut down catch and release only on the southern border? Stop it on the northern border, too.

Disagree. His proposal will not stop the flow of illegals into the US. We don't need the same kind of security for the Canadian border. Canada has a system of controlling and enforcing immigration. There is not the same wealth disparity between the US and Canada, Nor does Canada have the same problems as Mexico in terms corruption and demograhpics. We need more physical barriers on the southern border.

Actually this will increase the flow. They are betting on Bush as their guy.

You make some good points. However, I must disagree on the point that more security isn't needed on the northern border.

I'm a lawyer and for one and a half years, did contract work for Lexis/Nexis Canada, and I asked for work on immigration cases, among other topics.

Canada has lost control, basically, of many thousands of its immigrants. In the 39-thousands, I believe, of people they're looking for.

I am really tired and wiped out, but I will find this info. I'm telling you, the northern border is not secure.

H*ll, I have actually talked to people (my husband is from northern Canada) who have walked from northern Quebec into Maine, to go hunting.
