I realize that there are some Mexicans who smuggle in drugs and "steal" our minimum wage jobs (that employers can't even offer to high school kids). But i've heard reports of drugs being smuggled in from Canada also. And am I wrong, or did one or two of the terrorists come in through Canada?
Discuss...

Last time I went to Canada I had to go through customs at the border on both sides US and Canadian.
All the borders need to be secure. All as in all.
People shouldn't be allowed to sneak in from any direction.
I live in CA. We have illegals of every race. They all need to go back to their countries and come here legally.Get work visa's, school visa's, etc. Migrate here the legal way, or fight for changes in the country they are from. They come here wanting better lives, well maybe they should attempt to get their home countries reformed.

Wrongo, every immigrant has the same rules and same wait periods. Actually if an immigrant is coming from a white raced country, the wait period is longer.

It's ANY illegal alien that the citizens of the U.S. of A. want kept out of our country. We don't care where they are from, what their profession or education level it. They are illegal. Period.
And, yes, two of the terrorists came through Canada.

We don't, we must lock down both borders. The majority of drug smugglers and illegal aliens happen to be coming from the south though, so that's the first priority.

Canadians like living in Canada. Mexicans don't like Mexico because it is a sh*thole. Any other dumb questions?

Canadians are not coming into this country without acclamating themselves into our society. If they come over and wish for citizenship they actually WORK for it and contribute to out society. They don't clog up our emergency rooms, and Canadians don't demand that their children be taught in French.
