The Wall Street Journal has a free ed-op site.  One of the editorials today (well, Friday), by Mary O'Grady, discusses the risk that Canada creates by failing to police its immigrants.

She brings up several incidents, including the Algerian terrorists who tried to cross the border with bomb-making chemicals (she incorrectly called them "plastic explosives") in late December of 1999.  The man driving the car, whose nervousness at U.S. Customs got him caught, was a known terrorist, but Canada had failed to do ANYTHING about him, not even after he withdrew his "refugee status" request.

To quote the author, "Without a firm commitment from Canada to [implement and enforce counterterrorist policies], the only other option would be to close the border."

Well, considering how cold it is I wouldn't want to get out of the car and arrest anyone either.

200,000 Tamils in Canada? A world-wide fund raising apparatus set up for financing the Tamil separatists?

What in the Hell's wrong with Canada?

The Canadian govt is going by the saying, "the enemy is within us" BS.

Like I stated in another thread. If the investigation into the WTC attack proves that even one of the scumbags involved in this attack got into the US through Canada I hope the ridicule and embarrassment of this discovery on the world stage will force the Canadian government to tighten up immigration laws. Also I hope it will force them to expel known or suspected terrorists or people associated with terrorists groups.

It's already been confirmed that they did.  Two of the terrorists entered the U.S. in Maine, from Canada, and went through a commuter flight at a small airport so that they wouldn't have to go through security again at Boston Logan, where security was presumably tighter.

Having had to travel through Logan very frequently several years ago, I can confirm that "airport security" is a contradiction in terms there. . . .

Striker,

If any of those bastards get imprisoned in Canada, can you get me an hour alone with 'em?
