"As many as five of the 19 men who attacked America with hijacked aircraft had sneaked over the 3,987-mile border from Canada, according to reports last week. Canadian officials deny the link, and an FBI spokesman refused to comment."






USBorderPatrol.com: Canadian Border Allowing Terrorists In
The 4,000 mile long U.S. / Canadian border has been described as the longest undefended border in the world.

Relations with the government of Canada remain cordial. Canadian citizens can cross into the U.S. at will, traveling and vacationing without an official visa. Even living and working in the U.S. poses little problem for the Canadian citizen; visa requirements are very lenient for our "harmless" brothers and sisters to the north.

Anyone familiar with Canadian immigration policy will tell you that Canada is an immigrant haven and one especially desirable for those seeking some form of asylum. Permanent resident status in Canada is easy to obtain even for individuals from countries strongly suspected of supporting organized terrorism. For instance, former Montreal, Canada resident Ahmed Ressam was an Algerian-born Al-Qaida operative who was arrested by U.S. Immigration Inspectors in 1999 while he attempting to bring a carload of explosives into the United States.

"Some terrorism experts say there are two main reasons to be concerned about the possibility of terrorists slipping through our border with Canada. One reason is the terrain. Because the border is made up of vast stretches of water and forest, it is nearly impossible to seal.

The second reason is that Canada has more lenient laws than the United States when it comes to political asylum. The Canadian ambassador has denied that claim. But some experts say Canada's recent arrests should get our attention. They say a problem in Canada could easily become a problem in the United States."

Yea, we know. There are just as many if not more articles about our Southern Border.

And you also know that the northern border is twice as long as the southern one.


What would you like done on the northeren border?


Remember, 17 terrorists were recently arrested in Canada.

So, we are going to fence the smaller one first.

Looks like the Canadians are doing a good job of capturing terrorist. They should be praised.

You're right about that. I certainly haven't heard anything regarding the capture of potential terrorist by Mexican law enforcement and they certainly have no interest in bringing a halt to the thousands of illegal aliens illegally crossing into the United States on a monthly basis.

of course that's the point.... Canada's laws are looser than ours, but Mexico enforces no laws of their own; their police and border patrol agents make "extra money" looking the other way...

OBL likes to "equate" the two borders. While there is more evidence of terrorists having come in the past through Canada (because we caught some), that does not mean they won't come through Mexico.... since it is now a globally known fact that our government refuses to enforce our immigration laws, terrorists can BUY THEIR WAY easier on the Southern border than the Northern border....

BUSH may very well regret some day his decision to turn that border into a "wild wild and corrupt West" when we find out that the next major terrorist attack came in through our back-door ...

but millions of illegals from the south is terrorism enough, especially for US citizens on the border whose lives and property are threatened every day by thugs from the south...

besides, the other MAJOR issue is the DRUG SMUGGLING rings that do equal damage to our nation.... they come through Mexico in90% of the cases...
