Do Canadians worry about undocumented aliens streaming in from their southern border?

The flood of American liberals sneaking across the border into Canada has intensified in the past week, sparking calls for increased patrols to stop the illegal immigration. The actions of President Bush are prompting the exodus among left-leaning citizens who fear they'll soon be required to hunt, pray, and agree with Bill O'Reilly. \n\nCanadian border farmers say it's not uncommon to see dozens of sociology professors, animal-rights activists, and Unitarians crossing their fields at night. \n\n"I went out to milk the cows the other day, and there was a Hollywood producer huddled in the barn," said Manitoba farmer Red Greenfield, whose acreage borders North Dakota. "The producer was cold, exhausted and hungry." \n\n"He asked me if I could spare a latte and some free-range chicken. When I said I didn't have any, he left. Didn't even get a chance to show him my screenplay, eh?" \n\nIn an effort to stop the illegal aliens, Greenfield erected higher fences, but the liberals scaled them. So he tried installing speakers that blare Rush Limbaugh across the fields. "Not real effective," he said. "The liberals still got through, and Rush annoyed the cows so much they wouldn't give milk." \n\nOfficials are particularly concerned about smugglers who meet liberals near the Canadian border, pack them into Volvo station wagons, drive them across the border and leave them to fend for themselves. \n\n"A lot of these people are not prepared for rugged conditions," an Ontario border patrolman said. "I found one carload without a drop of drinking water. They did have a nice little Napa Valley cabernet, though." \n\nWhen liberals are caught, they're sent back across the border, often wailing loudly that they fear retribution from conservatives. Rumors have been circulating about the Bush administration establishing re-education camps in which liberals will be forced to drink domestic beer and watch NASCAR races. \n\nIn recent days, liberals have turned to sometimes-ingenious ways of crossing the border. Some have taken to posing as senior citizens on bus trips to buy cheap Canadian prescription drugs. After catching a half-dozen young vegans disguised in powdered wigs, Canadian immigration authorities began stopping buses and quizzing the supposed senior-citizen passengers on Perry Como and Rosemary Clooney hits to prove they were alive in the '50s. \n\n"If they can't identify the accordion player on The Lawrence Welk Show, we get suspicious about their age," an official said. \n\nCanadian citizens have complained that the illegal immigrants are creating an organic-broccoli shortage and renting all the good Susan Sarandon movies. \n\n"I feel sorry for American liberals, but the Canadian economy just can't support them," an Ottawa resident said. "How many art-history majors does one country need?" \n\nIn an effort to ease tensions between the United States and Canada, Vice President Dick Cheney met with the Canadian ambassador and pledged that the administration would take steps to reassure liberals, a source close to Cheney said. \n\n"We're going to have some Peter, Paul & Mary concerts. And we might put some endangered species on postage stamps. The President is determined to reach out," he said.

It really sucks, doesn't it!?!   It infuriates me that these people are able to sneak into our country in the first place. I have seen the videos showing the coyote layup sites (where they meet up with their smugglers).  What a huge mess.  It is a real shame!\n\nI have joined the Minuteman project (National as well as my state chapter). They are at least trying to make a dent in it.  Check out the videos and other information at their website.\n\nI love the new motto "National Citizen Neighborhood Crime Watch - Securing America's Border"

I feel like I am going to be hunted down, right in my own country. I have to add that a lot of legal hispanics are against illegal immigration too. My neighbor who lives in a double was furious the other day, the other side of his house was rented out to illegals, a drug bust went on, he's dominican and he is legal, has been since birth. He has two small children, so you could just imagine what he was saying about illegals. I do think illegals are invading the country, I dont think they could ever over run it, even if there is a large latino ratio, there are still thousands of legal latinos that are p!ssed just like any other race. Just not so many on here of course!

I'm not concerned about immigrants, but there have been several cases of paid off Mexican army units with machine gun mounted trucks escorting shipments fully into US territory & even exchanging fire with local law enforcement - mex govt says stolen uniforms. Corrupt mexican national & local police have long done similar. Then there's the smugglers themselves. \n\nAnyway, from what I understand the troops will not be patrolling the border. They'll be engineer units building access roads & survellince posts, and intel operating air & ground based detection equipment from the military inventory. The Border Patrol will still be the ones doing all the apprehending. \n\nThat said, the national guard DOES have law enforcement authority while under the Gov's command (just like after hurricanes), and it is the PRIMARY mission of the national guard to defend the boarders & internal security of the United States. Backing up federal troops overseas comes second, followed by disaster response.

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.

I'm not sure, but I know this...in Mexico, if you're an illegal and you get caught, they bus or fly you back to your country of origin.  In 2004, the Mexican government deported over 200k illegal immigrants that streamed in from their southern border with Guatemala.  If Fox thinks open borders is such a wonderful thing, perhaps Mexico might consider drinking a little of their own Kool-aid.

I know several Canadians that put US folks to shame where politics are concerned. They are much more attuned to international affairs, domestic affairs than their southern neighbors are attuned to Canadian affairs.

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.

be suspicious, of anyone crossing your borders illegally... if it isn't a crime, it should be... if someone enters your home without permission, then it is trespass or burglary, if you are crossing a border without the knowledge of the relevant authorities, then you will of course be committing a crime. Any person who does this would of course also, be aware they are committing a crime... personally speaking I'd say if there is no absolute genuine reason for any person crossing a border, especially in this day and age of globalised terrorism, they should be deported, straight away, no messing about with paperwork... they should also be handed over too there native countries authorities... if someone is pleading persecution, then the question has to be asked... Why are they being persecuted in the first place? Was it because they themselves have committed a crime?\nIt's a hard question to answer, but every nation has a right to defend it's borders... \nThe real answer is quite possibly... it is already too late, as the enemy is already within!

Hey, no, let them take it over. It would be rude for us to stay and try to direct from the shadows or something. Go, Canada!

Its already getting across the Borders into our Country. The gangs and roving band of thugs that have freedom to roam and rampage are coming across when ever they want. They run drugs, people and what ever contraband they want. The Border Patrol is a joke, because there is NEVER enough people to police the border. A few hundred people for 4000 miles of border? LETS GET REAL!  One person for a hundred miles of border aint gonna cut it.  Cameras and sensors record them coming over, but, it doesnt matter, they do what they want.\n\nImmagration is a joke, and the joke is making us look bad. \nUntil the Government takes an active stand, (and they wont, because they know which way the wind blows for votes), we will be a free border with a few sent back for the Media.\n\nJesse

The Border Patrol in AZ have already noticed an increase in apprehensions and attempted crossing in my state.\nI think it was 5 years they had to prove they had been in the US.It wont be that easy to fabricate because there is also the fine and payment of back taxes that must be paid,along with a clean police back ground check.\nI'm sure many are coming here already in anticipation of it but they may be in for a rude awaking.There were a lot of conservative Democrats that were elected or retained their seats so,don't expect this to happen any time soon.There are far too many variables for elation of the illegal aliens...just yet.

Protection from what? Canadians and Mexicans (or ANYBODY who wants to) can come over either border at will. Terrorists grow here, all by themselves. Disease will come in by air or shipped food. The only thing the oceans do is prevent a hostile invasion with heavy equipment, like tanks. But missiles and aircraft can handle the heavy stuff. You and I, armed and prepared, are the best defense of the United States.

The answer could be answered in many ways. First, that whole area belonged to mexico at one time, and the big guns came over and took it by force, just as they did to the American indians. Remember, Canadians could come into the U.S. as they wish, and so can we enter Canada as we wish. I don't see why Mexicans can't come into this country to work those jobs that Americans won't do, because this administration, as well as past ones, have outsourced miilions of jobs to other countries, like China- a communist nation that has vowed to overtake us in the future. And the list goes on and on. So there is no quick solution to this problem, as long as we have governmment that cannot govern, and people that were once immigrants themselves, opposing the rights of other people to live a better life....KECK

If anything the minutemen are making the job of the border patrol easier. i dont think that the idea to leak information  came from the border patrol. my guess is that it came from politicians that want hispanic votes and the pressure tricked down to the border patrol.
