I have often wondered why Americans who are rightfully concerned with our Southern border with Mexico don’t worry about our border with Canada. Our Northern neighbor has an Islamic population of 2.5%. A good percentage of this population is Lebanese Shiite and there are Hizballah operatives in that nation. There are Somalis as well and the presence of Al-Qaeda affiliate Al-Shabab. The Jihadi danger in Canada is due to the previous government’s Pro-Islamic immigration policy. The Islamic Imperialists are not allowed to be criticized and much of the Progressive Canadian establishment supports them. Our Northern border is actually more dangerous than the Mexican one since it’s severely undermanned. Yet no attention is paid to this danger!

In the second part of a series on America’s borders, retired Border Patrol Chief J.William Carter outlines how America’s northern border is probably more vulnerable than the border with Mexico.

LOOK TO THE NORTH AND SOUTH
OUR INTERNATIONAL BORDERS ARE OUT OF CONTROL. Some suggest that we are moving in the right direction simply because apprehensions, as well as attempted entries by illegal aliens, are down from previous years. I contend that as long as one person is successful in crossing our borders without inspection, our borders will never be in control. Anyone bent on entering the United States will find a way, and the way may not necessarily be across our southern border with Mexico.

In addition to our southern border with Mexico, there are the northern border with Canada and the coastal borders of Florida and the island of Puerto Rico. The northern border is 4,000 miles long and today is patrolled by approximately 1,000 Border Patrol agents assigned to seven Border Patrol sectors. This border has gone essentially unnoticed and, except for manned crossing points, largely unattended until the invasion of September 11, 2001. Prior to that terrorist declaration of war, the staffing level on our entire northern border with Canada was approximately 350 Border Patrol agents, and if we were to consider temporary duty (TDY), days off, emergency leave, and sick leave, who knows what that number would be reduced to on any given day. What I do know is that it would be an unacceptable number with unacceptable consequences—an essentially open border.

With what appears to be an effective border control strategy in place along our southern border, as the number of Border Patrol apprehensions declined from 1,189,000 in 2005 to 724,000 in 2008, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) must continue to focus its attention on our northern border with Canada and our coastlines. The apprehensions made between the ports of entry on the northern border are virtually flat-lined, with a slight increase since 2005. Once it becomes too difficult to enter illegally across our southern border, the move will be immediate to the northern and coastal borders.

The Progressive media focuses on the Southern border to distract Conservatives from the Northern threat. Although some Islamic infiltrators have been caught in the south, the vast majority come in from Canada. It’s easier, since any person from an Islamic country can enter Canada and just come across the undefended border. It’s no coincidence Minneapolis is full of Somalis and Dearborn is full of Arabs. These people didn’t come in from Mexico, it’s from Canada.

This in no way downplays the dangers of the Mexican Cartels. We need to secure our border with Mexico. Our border with Canada also needs to be secure and there should be focus on that as well. Border security means securing all borders, not just one that gets media attention.
