-Cp said:IMO - we REALLY need to worry about the Canadian border just as much...
GunnyL said:LOL ...I've been WAITING to get called a racist for my remarks, when I'm nothing of the sort. But I have to call them as I see them. If it was white people from Canada behaving in like manner, I'd feel the same.
As I said, it isn't just Bush. It's been every President at least in my memory, probably farther back than that. Illegals never posed the threat to our social infrastructure they do now.
Not to mention AQ could march across out Southewestern border in force and we'd probably never know until they struck.

Gabriella84 said:I think we have reasons to fear Canada. They could easily smuggle in powerful bombs disguised as hockey pucks. We would never know it!
Also, I hear Canadian scientists are working on a plan to clone Celine Dion. We would all be bored into submission.
Plus, part of Canada is French!! :fu2:
-Cp said:Because Canada has some of the most liberal immigration policies going.... a terrorist's magnet...
GunnyL said:There's more to it than money though. Neither side wants to alienate the Hispanic vote. While not huge in its own right, they are still powerful enough to swing an election as close as the last two have been.
Avatar4321 said:You know I've never understood this line of reasoning. Illegal immigrants can't vote. How the heck is it going to help you get the hispanic vote to not stop illegal immigration? The ones here legally don't like illegal immigration any more than the rest of us.
-Cp said:Politicians aren't so much worried about pissing off the illegals as they are the legal ones who want their illegal families here as well....
Maybe the terrorist don't want to ruin a good thing. Canada is a great jumping off point to bomb the USA. The "don't shit in your own backyard" rule...Isaac Brock said:If that is so, which I would tend to agree with you, why is it that Canada seems less likely as a terrorist target? You can only secure your borders so much. The United States is a huge country, almost as big as my own, with seas bounded on two sides. If a determined terrorist wants into either of our countries, nothing short of well defended circumfrenced fence will keep the terrorists away.
Unfortunately, where there is a will, there is a way.

Bonnie said:Oh I wasn't calling you a racist, I was simply saying the pc crowd always falls back on that argument when they have nothing else in their arsenal. I agree now more than ever we need to shut the borders down period. If I lived South I would ceretanily be volunteering my time to watch the border.
GunnyL said:No problem. I didn't think you were. Your comment on the pc crowd brought that to mind. Anytime anyone makes a statement that focuses on one group of people, someone always comes out and makes the accusation as a deflective counterattack.
The statement was in general thoug, not an accusation. You should know by now that if I was making an accusation, I can do MUCH better than that.

GotZoom said:It's like an old joke Steve Martin used to tell.
You know the best way to stop people from parking illegally?
The death penalty.
I say we start shooting anyone who crosses the border into the United States illegally.
Now, before anyone gets their panties in a wad. Trust me, it wouldn't take long for the crossings to stop. Once everyone saw that we were serious, they wouldn't chance it.
