You are correct and it is more likely that our liberal friends up north would allow radical muslims to enter their country (through an airport) than our corrupt neighbor to the south. I also think the drug cartels in Mexico would'nt be enthusiastic about sneaking muslim terrorist over the southern border because that would be VERY BAD for their normal business in the long run but they could probably blend in with the rest of the horde. The price of dope rose considerably after 9/11 with the tightened border security and screening.
The northern border would be much more difficult to fence but they are not trying to immigrate to our country (outside of Disneyland/World visits).
FR is a big place, and if a new (gasp!) person signs on, they should be given the benefit of the doubt, at least until they say something that breaks the FR rules.
Sheesh! Why do so many people have hair triggers tonight? Is the moon full, or something?

Welcome to FR.. you will need to develope some thick skin on here at times! Have fun and enjoy FR!

Maybe you don't have to, but it sure seems like you're willing.
I can pretty well spot a bunch of phoneys when I see them.
That remains to be seen.

Thanks. I will try it out for a few days and then football will probably slow me down on politics for awhile.
Does this board get alot of retread posters or something? It is mildly amusing to be accused of being a previous poster on a new board.
Canadian pot smuggling is HUGH and series business; so is illegal crossings of Pakistanis, Arab Muslims, terrorists, and European illegals.
You DO need to read up on this. :-)
Perhaps it's because we were inundated by trolls yesterday. What were there...a dozen, or more of them ZOTTED?
Is THAT why you are usually so quiet? ;^)
We don't know each other well enough but suffice it to say that I am intimately acquainted with the smuggling of high grade pot over the border.
Police or dealer/doper?

Note the date of the article,try to keep more informed.
Oh, but unlike YOU, I AM "informed". I do know about that and it isn't the MCDC people doing that, up north.
I've not visited Greece yet:') I thought that was what you meant but I wasn't sure what the A stood for. Atlanta , maybe:').
I don't deal dope but I deal with dopers and let's leave it at that.....
I share your concerns about people coming over the border from Canada in regards to terrorism. I also expect that it will happen sometime in the near future but I also think it will force Canada to tighten up on their immigration rules and laws. Hopefully it will not be too late and whatever happens will not be too harmful.
The wave of illegal immigration and crime from Mexico is much more damaging to our nation in comparison to any troubles that have come from Canada.
The illegal imporation of BC Bud is a real problem here in the U.S. however, most marijuana is being grown domestically or is still coming from Mexico. We have lots of outdoor grows here in Central Washington each year that are normally planted, tended, and harvested by illegal aliens.
The locals know more about the rough terrain in the back country better than the Border Patrol officers (who are usually shipped in from elsewhere) do.
This part of the border where I live had 2 agents stationed here, patrolling over 300 miles between the two of them. Since 9/11, there are now 24 agents patrolling that same 300 miles of border, and most of them had originally been posted down in Arizona.
LOL
Athens is a quaint little college town near Atlanta that is home to the Georgia Bulldogs.
Greece is a great place to visit. The historical sites there are simply amazing but the food was disappointing.
I'll have to look further at this story tomorrow. It does appear to have potential to at least catch or stop more than we're getting now.
Thanks for posting the story, mdittmar.
