Why is the goverment more concerned with border security in Mexico/US border (where it's mostly poor people crossing into the United States), than with the Canada/US border where a few possible terrorists have been caught? Does it make sense spending millions of dollars building a wall and having the national guard at the Mexico/US border, when there are bigger security problems in our Canadian Border?

BOTH our borders need to be secured!!!!
Actually, on September11,2001, after the attacks, there were eight Iraqi's caught trying to sneak over the border from mexico!!! They have caught a LOT of OTM'S coming across the mexican border into the U.S. And,it's NOT just "poor people" crossing from mexico!! There is also, the drug runners,gang members,murderers,child molesters,rapists,etc!! Over a MILLION crimes are committed a year,by illegal aliens, the majority are from mexico!!!
This is the very reason we need to know WHO and WHAT is coming into this country!!
At least,if people come here LEGALLY,they have a background check to make sure they are not criminals,and to also make sure they carry no communicable diseases!!!!!! This is the reason the process to come here takes so long,but it's well worth it!!

We need security at both borders. However, the poor people coming across the southern border cost us several tens of billions of dollars per year. That is plenty of reason for a wall.

It doesn't make sense of building a wall anywhere. The wall of China if built today would be nearly impossible and it was immense. And it did nothing but impoverish a whole country, enslave the people, cut off trade, and kill thousands in the process of the grueling work. I guess this is the road we chose.....

We spend more money on illegals for wel-fare and crime than we would suffer from a few terrorist, and plus we need some Canadians down here, I have never met a single one but anyone can tell you they saw a few thousands Mexicans

I'm more concerned that #1, they're still entering our country illegally, and #2, terrorists could also be coming in. I have no problem with immigration at all, as long as its legal. All it takes is some effort......

I think, pesonally, that we have far too manyh troops overseas. Do we really need troops in Germany? WWII is over. Why not use these troops in Germany and Korea, and have them secure OUR borders?

We have a problem with our benefits going broke. Out disable and elderly will be hurt first or don't they count for anything? It is a big concern-for all.

It is a lot easier for a middle eastern terrorist to pass as an illegal Mexican immigrant.
