I saw this story, where the U.S.A. is thinking about beefing up border security. Really?! What a collosal waste of money. It's the largest unprotected border in the world, it's about 5,000 miles, and right now, only about 50 miles is the least bit protected. I don't think it's necessary....do you?

Yes, I think the US would want to concentrate on the border to the south, not the one to the north.

No way. Part of the border is along marsh and swamp land, part across the prairies and do not forget the mountains in the west. If anyone would be able to cross it would be a miracle. Also there is less danger of us Canadians going eiher by the regular border crossings then the Mexicans coming over the Mexican and American border where if you pack enough water and food, you can walk across.
The danger would be terrorists hiding in cars and buses and forcing people to drive them across or those coming across in boats or planes. The ones who would be able to walk across would have had military or survival training.

In my opinion, this is excessive, costly and largely unnecessary. I agree with you fully. What a waste of money from everyone's pockets. This still does not solve shared bodies of water between Canada and U.S.A. What threat is this supposed to be securing against anyway?

It seems excessive and unnecessary. Really, can anyone confirm a security threat? I agree with you. This is spending out of everyone's pockets and, by all appearances, is needless. ![](/Content/images/emotes/niceday.gif)
