Don't take comments personally when some people complain about your govt on this board. We complain about our govt too, it has nothing to do with what we think of Canadian people. Also remember, a Canadian is in charge of our defense in case of an attack by aircraft or missiles(NORAD's head is traditionally a Canadian officer), so all Americans trust their lives to Canada. I think our two nations should integrate our immigration services. Well, at least as far as tracking visas and allowing visitors, not the naturalization part. We both have problems tracking and finding terrorists at our borders, and any internal delays in transmitting information about wanted terrorists or watch lists will be amplified between our nations. And I'd hate to see our northern border match our southern one. The only thing I've ever been asked when crossing the monitored sections of the border between US/Canada is what did I purchase that I am bringing back with me(trying to find something to tax, greedy bastards on both sides of the border).
But Canada needs to be ready for terrorists to flood there out of the US. As the heat is cranked up here, the easiest border to cross is into Canada(Mexico's border is more difficult to cross due to drug trafficking and illegal aliens). We have many miles of completely unmonitored borders which will have terrorists crossing. I hope we have rangers in the parks at the borders to catch any runners. And oh yeah, any terrorists you find up there will very likely be executed if returned here. I'm sure there won't be a problem extraditing these a**holes[}:D].
