I believe our border with Canada is a far bigger threat than our border with Mexico

Think again

Perhaps not. How many Islamic terrorists have come through Mexico? How many have come through Canada? The Y2K plot to hit LAX was based out of Vancouver, not Tijuana. Arab terrorists are lazy. It's easy to go through Europe to Canada to the US -- more direct flights. So that's how they go. Why fly hours longer to Mexico and then back to the US?

They also stick out less in Canada with it's open door refugee policies. In Catholic Mexico with it's larger police forces and minimal PC attitudes, they stick out more. Plus, most of the terrorists are fairly well-off. Why mess around in poorer Mexico?

Finally, because of drugs and illegal immigrants, the US border patrol is larger on the Mexican border. More movement but more police makes that border seem riskier to terrorists.

In terms of potential access to the US by terrorists? Nope. Don't need to think again. Canada's immigration policies are extremely loose.

Both Canada and Mexico represent entirely different situations in terms of border access.
