A boarder is around the WHOLE Country not just one side. The hijackers crossed over from Canada.think about it

Exactly, think about it.I've noticed that with ppl not slinging around the r-word hardly anymore that all of the immigrants suddenly became Mexican again.\nBut I will be the R person for saying it.Why would we build a 60' wall across the border to Mexico but not on the border to Canada?

most people sound like they want  the new immigrant law to pass, and say to kick the illegals out and keep the legals. But i just want put say that it will not make the U.S any safer because if i recall the terrorist from 9-11 came legally to the U.S and one came illegally from Canada. think about it these people are psycho and have an abundance of money resources, immigrating to the U.S is not going to done through the Mexican border, its just not their cup of tea. if anything we should really re-assess what we are supporting here. illegal immigrants broke the law once and come to work hard back breaking labor, but the terrorist came here legally and killed thousands and we still do not see the big picture. there is definitely something wrong with America.

It's sure going to benefit the terrorists.\nThey are celebrating overseas.

I think this also brings aout the topic of border security.  we need responsible people to check and double check that noone or terrorist for that matter brings in any illegal junk.  Imagine what would happen if word got out to other countries that its very easy to smuggle in weapons, drugs etc?

Bravo Dave....When Mr. Reagon said those immortal words, the whole world respected our government, and what we stood for.  Now-not so much as a "security issue", but as a "political issue" our government wants to secure the Mexico/USA border.  Why has no money be allocated for a Canada/USA border?  Isn't Canada where they recently broke up a terrorists cell?

America has not "attacked" those countries, by themselves, out of a whim.  They are backed by the United Nations and many other countries have helped in the effort to decrease terrorism.

I agree, I still can find ways to get an explosive material on board.  Ever see In The Line of Fire, same principles can be used.  The extra security is for show, though I still think its a waste of money.\n\nIf a terrorist really wants to hijack a plane I am sure there a ways to do so.  I just don't worry about it, and won't worry if my plane gets hijacked.  Nothing we can do, but kick hijacker ass a mile up when that time comes.\n\nMob rule can stop any hijacker unless you are on a plane full of sheep, which most americans seem to be.

They can just walk over the northern border too. Believe me. My hay field IS part of the border, and it doesn't stop drug runners, never mind a terrorist.

put up a wall?\n\nwho do you think will build it?\n\ndont freak out over the border so much, there are just immagrant workers who want to make enough money to eat and live a decent life.\n\nas for the "murderers and terrorists' croossing the mexican border\n\nthe terrorists responsible  for 9/11 crossed the canadian border. where there are barely any gaurds, besides a little toll-booth-like-box that checks out "suspicious" cars

I think that is the full amount including the Canadian border.  There is little crime along the Canadian border and fewer people trying to cross so the officers tend to be at the southern border. \n\nI wasn't surprised but I think it underlines why fences, sensors, and planes are necessary components to border security.

We know Osama only with a beard.  His ability to evade intelligence on his where abouts is amazing.  There is the possibility that he is in North America somewhere.  There is to much research in other places and not enough in our back yard.  Osama has family involved with big business in North America.

Today, the terrorists would need to bring a small army to keep the passengers away from them.  Back on 9/11 everyone thought hijackers would not kill the passengers because they needed them for bargaining chips.

well as far as i know the biggest border in the world can be found between  USA and canadian  . there is several issues currently with that border :\n\nfirst the whole entire border has around 1000 immigration agents or a little bit more and from what i know both Canadians and Americans cross it as they like with out any restrictions . \n\nsecond there is curently many weapons being smugle into Canada from the US side which are making the lives of all canadians pretty hard , canada as far as i know has though laws regarding owning weapons but the constant contraband from the USA is making the situation pretty caotic for the autorities and all canadians .\n\nand third as we all know four terrorist already crossed from Canada into America and caused the most terrible thing America has ever live in its entire history . i think we should never forget that not matter how close America is to Canada , this should never be forgotten . i must add than this shoulld never be blamed on them but on us who did not pay enough attention and who did not care about bin laden as much as we shoulda care .

the answer to this is ONE MANY TERRORIST IS ANOTHER MAN'S FREEDOM FIGHTER  it all makes sense if u think about to the israealies sucide bombers are terrorists and to the plastinians they are freedom fighters trying to get the occupiers out of THEIR homeland.

I doubt that is the case. There were actual hijackers aboard. Innocent people died. Plus, if it was a CIA conspiracy, we'd probably know about it by now because the news would've reported on it.

Yes. USA is so paranoid about what the other people are doing

I don't think anyone is blaming illegal immirgrants for 911, I think your confusing their concern for another 911 happening because of our lose borders. \n\nRight now it would be easy for a terrorist to travel past our borders and attack us. We have to tighten our borders to protect ourselves from attack, protect our economy and just to make sure our laws are not being ignored. \n\nIf we were attacked tommorow by a terrorist that crossed our boarders, you would be shouting that we should have known and this was preventable for years. Mentalitys like yours that only focus on hind-sight is the reason we were complacent pre-911, and it is scary to think we are already drifting backwards.
