Thread: Vt. Senator Wants US-Canada Border Crossing Closed

Vt. Senator Wants US-Canada Border Crossing Closed
Sunday, 23 May 2010 04:37 PM

Sen. Patrick Leahy of Vermont is asking Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano to close the little-used Canadian border crossing at Morses Line.

The Democratic senator told Napolitano in a letter Sunday that he's prepared to close the port during the Appropriations process, if necessary.

Leahy says he agrees with those who attended a meeting Saturday with U.S. Customs and Border Protection representatives that the port is not a critical link in the nation's security or commerce. If it requires a lot of money to modernize it, it's best to close the port and use the money elsewhere.

The Department of Homeland Security has received $420 million to modernize land ports. Federal plans call for spending about $5 million to renovate and expand the little-used Depression-era Morses Line station by seizing land from a Vermont dairy farm.

HELLO??? Wrong border!

I know two illegal alien Canadians.

Hello the road will still be there. Closing a post just opens another security risk for our nation.

Secure both borders, but the Mexican border should have the priority.
