A wall separating Canada and the U.S.?

[Littlelambseativy]

what is the minimum wage in the U.S.? In Canada it is $11.25 I believe.

Remember when young men came to Canada to escape Vietnam.....we did not turn them back...even the illegals. Cousins not only in name.

People can not go to Canada any longer to escape the draft.

It is legitimate.  We don't have the manpower or the funds to successfully patrol the border 24/7.  If our borders are not secure, neither are the people.  If we can control the traffic at choke points then we can drastically reduce drugs coming and going, possible terrorists, and costs can be reduced to John Q. Taxpayer for not having to pay for things like food stamps, healthcare, daycare, etc. for "minorities" who shouldn't even be here and broke the law to get here.  Of course they will still bypass it somehow, like down in Laredo they have found underground tunnels going from Mexico to 8 year old cocaine dealers mansions on the American side.  Most canadians are not going to pose much threat as I have listed above however lots of people cross the Canadian/American border that don't need to.  and its super easy because no one sees it as a threat.  Lots of places you can just walk across like taking a stroll in a park.  Borders exist for a reason.  You stay on your side, and we stay on our side. Its not a new concept, these things called borders.

Are there really that many eight year olds dealing cocaine and living in mansions?

There are a lot of kids involved in the drug cartels. One of the most active assassins was shown to be less than 12 yrs old, with a sister equally deadly. They do make a pile of money.

Here are a bunch of news articles. There are many many more.

That is over the top. A wall on the Mexican border makes sense, but the Canadians arnt trying to sneak in and steal our jobs, in fact in a few years we maybe jumping the border to steal their jobs. So, it may actually be wise if Canada built a wall lol

That is the difference.  Our relationship with Canada is different than with Mexico, and the problems we face from our southern border don't exist with our northern border.  This is just about trying to look consistent and fair.  There is no need for a wall at the Canadian border, but if we start having a flood of illegals entering the country later on from Canada, then we can discuss that as a possible solution.

don't know if you all are aware, but I have friends in El Paso that tell me that there is a very large number of Americans who live in El Paso who cross the border every day to work in those places our corporations have built in Mexico to avoid paying corporate taxes...     and their is no extra that the companies pay for importing the goods to be sold in the US...
