"They would be a lot easier to spot coming from Canada, than from Mexico."

I am sorry I did not reply earlier, with all the craziness going on I read the post but missed following up. I try to avoid the cultural and ethnic overtones on the border security issue. As soon as you allow race to enter into the discussion than "race" rather than security becomes the issue. Although the President has been getting a lot of criticism from his right wing base on illegal aliens I think he has been wise to keep the focus on security.

Must disagree, the President has spoken at length about Hispanic family values, at times in Spanish. Even his absurd straw man arguments are largely race based.

I wasn't using race, per se, I was simply stating an obvious fact - it would be easier to spot someone of Arabic origin coming from Canada, a country that is mainly Anglo-Celtic and French in it's ancestory, than, we'll say, Mexico - most people wouldn't be able to tell an Arab from an Hispanic - and Islamofascists know that!
