How will the tightening of U.S. borders affect our economy?

I could see the tight restrictions being a good thing in southwestern states such as Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California. It will serve to keep out illegals from Mexico.

But the Canadian border is another matter.

The economies in northern states like Michigan, Minnesota and especially New York (where I live), depend largely on Canadian visitors coming over and spending money. Fewer tourists mean a smaller cashflow in these states, and we will certainly feel the pinch.

Any thoughts?

Answer:
I don't see the Canadian Border as being a problem and who cares about being politcally correct? The problem that exists is with the Mexican Border. That is where millions stream across and inundate our hospitals, schools, welfare and infrastructure.
The Canadians come over for the day and then go home. They are good neighbors Mexico is not.

Bottom line if it aint broke don't fix it. The Mexican border is broke and fixing it will save the American taxpayer 20 billoin per year.

If the Mexican Government screams discrimination, racism, whatever who cares? Not me.
The North American Union is "streamlining" the borders and essentially removing them. There was never any intention to "tighten" or fund "tightening" of the borders:

I think you should tighten the borders where it makes sense. You don't put a tourniquet on both legs when only one is severed, in the interest of 'fairness'.
you will not be affected in this way with tourism ect as the people coming in from Canada are not doing it illegally and have all the proper documents ect. to visit do business and go home I have been many times to Canada with a passport and do not see any sort of problem arising to the economy due to tightening of the borders it is far harder to get over into Canada than it is to get in the USA we need tight borders, how else can you be safe from all the terrorist in the world
