Why build a fence on the Mexico border and not on the Canadian border where the terrorist entered?

Mexico Does NOT "GUARD" Its NORTHERN Borders\n\nThey ESCORT Their People(DRUG SMUGGLERS, ETC.) TO The Border And ASSIST Them \nTo Gain ILLEGAL ENTRY INTO The United States

We aren't open to attack on our borders.  We have many military installations on the Canadian as well as Mexican borders.  We still have more troops here than in Iraq.

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.

For one thing, the Mexican border is a lot bigger and more strongly populated than the middle of the Nevada desert.\n\nAlso, I doubt that just shooting everyone is the correct answer.

It is a new time....America has always been protected by oceans on both sides. Although there is rampant corruption and pathetic government structure to our south , Mexico has mostly been nothing more than a nuisance for it's drug trade. Canadians and Americans have had very close ties aside from an occasional policy difference. today...I think there should be greater border patrols on our north and south borders. With terrorism and it's networks pressing the envelope in finding new ways to destroy us we have no alternative but to increase our security to meet the new dangers.

Actually both borders require seciroty but for different reasons.\n\nThe southern border has thousand of illegal aliens croosing every day.  Most of these are Hispanic from Mexico and other South American countries.  We just can't sustain the influx of immigrants that use our schools, hospiitals, etc, and may not have a job to pay taxes.\n\nIn Canada the influx in immigrtion is Muslims.  The number of Antisemitic attacks has increased over 4 times in the last 2 years alone.\n\nIf the Muslims can get into Canada legally, they can croos our northern border to organizae terroist cells.\n\nTherefore we need to orivude special security on both borders for our protection.

The US could invade anyone it wants to, including Mexico or up here in Canada. the question is: why would they?

be a little more specific. Currently the Mexican side is checking vehicles prior to accessing the bridge to the US side. This is meant as a precaution and to boost Mexico's image.

Apparently Mexico does on its southern border what it does not want the US to do on its southern border.  Mexico's stance is two-faced. What the US needs is a policy that mandates shooting anyone attempting to enter the US illegally.

I'd be happy to respond, but I am not sure I understand your question.  I meant that you seem very defensive, but I am not sure about what.  I don't have any problem with Canada.  I like Canada.\n\nThe Mexicans were in some parts of the U.S. before it became the U.S., just as wars determined the lines between what is now Canada and the U. S.   However, we today don't try to change those.  Also, the illegals are not trying to get into Mexico, and if the parts of the United States that were once Mexico were still Mexico, they would go further to get into the United States.  They were trying to get OUT of Mexico.\n\nAlso, the Mexicans who were here when those areas became part of America are now Americans.  According to polls, including those run by Latino groups, Latino Americans are also opposed to illegal immigration.\n\nYour question was not about Mexico or illegal immigrants.  The question you asked was why we thought that Canada was a breeding ground for terrorists.  I responded that I didn't think that, and was sorry your nose was out of joint.  You were very insulting in that question as you are in this one.  However, I apologize if I offended you by saying I was sorry your nose is out of joint.

The problem is that there's still communists out there...some of them are in the americas, to the south of us. On top of that, there's crime. \n\nThe border fence would work, or there wouldn't be so many people complaining about it...

Contrary to what Tylerwifee contains in that pea brain head of hers, I, Mexican by birth and first generation in this great country, am going to answer your question.\n\nA; Yes, the borders should be enforced, The security of the nation is at risk. No long ago, two Egyptians were trying to enter the country from Mexico, with Mexican documents, but didn't speak any Spanish. If they can, Terrorist can.\nB; The northern border should be on watch just the same way, though I don't know the immigration laws of Canada, and how hard it is to enter their country.\nC; Yes, The US as a Nation has the right to claim the sovereignty of their land, and obedience to the laws shall be observed. Even when this means no more Illegals entering the country.\nD; No, I don't think there is hypocrisy, the complaints are based on real statistics about our social structure, though some may exagerate it, the cost that illegals create is high, even higher than the unclaimed paid Taxes.\nE; This question I don't understand, what does crossing the border entitles anyone to? I you mean to cross it freely, then yes.\nF; No, they are trying to find a solution to the problem, I may be ingenuous, but I believe in the US government.

I wasn't either. Doesn't border patrol apply to the Canadian border? I mean there is more than just Mexico.

Being that the Mexican border is connected to our country it makes it very easy for people from Mexico to sneek here illegaly. They same could be said for Canada, however, because Canada is not such a poor country the people don't feel the need to escape their situations as much as the people in Mexico. So a majority of the immigrants in this country that have came here illegaly have been from mexico. It has been a hot political topic for so long now and in the eye of the media that when we hear "illegal immigrant" we automatically think south of the border. On the east coast however, there is more of a mixture of people from other countrys that are here illegally.

The ones you see hopping over fences are not usually in the desert areas, they are near San Diego, etc.  and you see the pathetic things they call 'fences' meant to stop them.  \n\nWe need real border security.  And they need to use their strength to fix their own country.

Sure why not, mexicans are not terrorists, people who seek war on the other side of the world are.
