The Northern Border is wide open. The USBP is sending in reports that are a spin of the actual facts. <strong>Facts that I have tried to report to M.M to no avail.</strong> She has not returned any emails of information on the northern border. So, the fact that Congress and the Senate do not want to hear it along with the so called "Right Wing Media" who will not listen...we will not see any solutions there...in the near future. I went to the HUGE success in April to DC for the "HOLD THEIR FEET TO THE FIRE" which, I do not recall seeing M.M at. We had some 40 radio shows there. heck, even Lou Dobbs sent a film crew. Sean Hannity? No show. M.M. I did not see her. We all went there on our own dime. Spending our time and money to help stop the amnesty. I reported to about 20 leaders about the northern border and the fences. They all suggested that fences do not work. Then, I told them what I did for a living. They quickly ended the session. I am glad to see M.M. post something about the northern border. I would love to fill her in on the truth up here, without sugar coating it. Well, it is true. The Northern Border is wide open.

That's exactly how the border security is at some points between Canada and the US. A lot of that border is more remote than the Mexican border. The cone picture made me laugh out loud, thanks. I've got a great Canadian border story, but I won't share it here. That cone picture is funny. That’s exactly how the border security is at some points between Canada and the US.

Seems to me Bush has shown where his priorities lie. Would a person concerned about national security appoint an affirmative action nincompoop to the post of National Security Adviser? Would he leave the borders open? You can have illegal migration and chamberpot immigration, or national security.

Wait until next year. America has squandered vast treasury rebuilding, rebuilding, Iraq. We have pounded hundreds of billions into that rat hole whith no end in sight and we have not even the 1.4 billion authorized to build the Duncan Hunter. Iraq gets 360 times the amount being spent for no fence. We must now develop new words of skepticism: <em>una sensación o una actitud que una no sabe la verdad, la verdad, o el trustworthiness alguien o algo. </em> I think the legislative authorized 784 miles of Duncan Hunter caliber fence is the Chicago Cubs of fence building.

I've been saying that for years now: Fences on both borders. After the entire Canuck border guard abandoned ship in the face of two armed ILLEGAL criminals making for a Washington State crossing, there was no question we're on our own as far as border security. I've also read they use unarmed college students [probably a good idea not to give them guns] in the summer. The Canadian professional guards can be pretty threatening to American citizens, on the other hand. The Canadian liberal government has dismantled the military. The current minority Conservative government will not be able to overcome the socialist bent of the populace, Small Dead Animals and Angry notwithstanding, to repair that situation anytime soon. Modeling old Europe seems to provide them some sense of differentiation and superiority. Good for them. The denigration of "W" and the U. S. by Cretian and Martin and their cadre and the ongoing hyperbole coming from their liberals and the CBC lead me to boycott all things Canadian. In the meantime, let's take care of business below the 49th and buy American. We have plenty of lumber and beer produced domestically. Right on, Boomer.

One day another attack will occur. When we learn that they crossed the border, there will be a big "hue and cry" to close the borders. The politicians will make promises, pass bills, and show sympathy...until the population forgets, then ignore everything, once again. They know it's more important to liberalize (socialize) the country first, before anything else can be tackled. That seems to be what people want, first.

There is nothing like a DNS, so once a person gets into Canada, they are here to stay. I've heard dozens of cases of people coming into Canada with dubious study permits and disappearing.
