STANSTEAD, Que. -- Canadian Mounties have arrested more than 30 people for illegally crossing into Canada through unguarded roads in Standstead, Quebec.

Canadian police said many of the illegal immigrants were Columbians, set to be deported from the U.S.

The arrests have renewed debate over blocking off the unguarded roads.

Three unguarded roads run from Stanstead to Derby Line, Vt.

Last month, the Government Accountability Office released a report saying unguarded border crossings pose a serious national security threat.
