Why aren't we worried about the northern border?
Answer:
The Canadians have had the northern border secured for years. The Mexican border is the problem because the Mexican government will not cooperate with equal enforcement. The US is on its own to stop all border crossings in the south. It is in Mexico's favor to allow their citizens to come to the US to work because most of the money is sent back to Mexico, leaving our economy and entering theirs, yet another aspect of the problem.
Canadians are not freeloading leeches.
If anything Canada should worry about these war deserters from America.
We are worried about both but the southern border is getting all the press now.Thats all
Becahse many Canadians have the pure germanic Aryan blood mixed with that liberal French blood. I am an immigrant and I know how they feel.
Because we know that Canada has not become a burden to us.
"Despite a commitment to bolster security after last year’s terrorist attacks, northern U.S. borders still have just one Border Patrol agent for every 16 miles, analysis of Justice Department data shows. The border with Mexico, by comparison, has enough agents to assign one about every 1,100 feet.
The Mexican border continues to dwarf the Canadian border in sheer numbers of arrests and the scope of illicit cross-border traffic. Recognizing that, officials at the Immigration and Naturalization Service, which runs the Border Patrol, have stationed over 9,000 agents on the southern border, while fewer than 400 are posted on the northern border, according to personnel records obtained by the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC), a non-partisan watchdog group affiliated with Syracuse University.
But behind that disparity, and amid significant security concerns, there remains little change in the distribution of Border Patrol agents before Sept. 11."

Isn't that what you people cry about? There is no secure borders, start looking to the north.But instead you focus on the south, the north has a much greater potential of terrorist coming here, why not the concern????
AND the northern boarder IS secure!
I find that funny when they spew cr*p like that. Especially if they actually did any homework on it. The borders in the mountainous areas of Canada, and America have been tightened up. So let them cry racist all they want.
Besides the U.S. actually gets cooperation from Canada. Don't ever count on cooperation from Mexico.
the canadians are law biding folk and mexicans have created all the racism being thrust at them by scraping our country's resources to the point of bleeding
We should worry about the Northern border. They have homegrown terrorists rings. If someone comes across our borders to stage a radical Islamic terror attack, it will much more likely be from Canada than Mexico.
Is Canada a Safe haven for Terrorists?

They have no reason to sneek into this country. Their govt. is not a thieving bunch of crooks that are selling their OWN people down the river.
no, the main priority is the south because that is where people WANT to focus the attention
Your question has some validity, while we are not overly concerned that Canadians will immigrate; the problem is that many immigrants from other countries do first go to Canada because of the ease of doing so...then later get smuggled across the border into the U.S. I would point out that these illegals are from many different country's other than Mexico. Many are from Ireland, China, India etc.
Interestingly for citys close to the border such as Buffalo and Detroit many of the good paying industrial jobs were held by Canadians who crossed the border daily to work in the U.S. while they lived in Canada. Many worked for GM and Ford for years and retired. When the currency exchange was high they had a great deal! I might point out that an American could not go to one of their plants in Canada and work.
