Of course, this is the
fundamental problem with your border security: it's keeping honest folks like
Don and I (who might spend money down there!) out, but is doing nothing to
counter terrorism.


Ya know, I hear this kind of crap all day from the likes of you,
Gould, Harry, and the rest, can you please elaborate on this one
statement, and please give some examples, proof, or is is just more of
your endless political rubbish?

Hello Mr. Backyard Renegade: Last summer, I applied for and received a
"Nexus" Border Crossing Card and I have had not problems crossing, with my
boat, Lake Huron, from Canada to the USA.

If a person has the proper identification, there is no problems boating
across the borders between Canada and the USA.

I enjoy visiting my American friends and border security is no problem for
those who have a Nexus Card.

Do you suppose the terrorists just get in line at the border crossings? Our
border with Canada is too long to partrol, and much of it is mountainous
wilderness.
It isn't like trying to defend the perimeter of
Vatican City. Heck, I could sneak into Canada. And back. Think what a terrorist
with just a minimum amount of training could do?

You want to enter the US from Canada?
Come by pleasure boat during the busy summer cruise season and put up a
courtesy flag. It would take US Customs days, if ever, to figure out you hadn't
cleared customs. Stay out of the resort marinas and odds are good you would
*never* be questioned. As it is, only a small percentage of boats are actually
inspected when they do report to customs. A guy could have a dozen terrorist
criminal *******s concealed in a medium size boat and have a 60-80 percent
chance of getting through untouched.

Terrorist criminal *******s will take the easiest opportunity to get into the
US. It's like basketball. You double or triple team the guy you think is most
likely to score against you, and that only takes the pressure off somebody else
instead.
