With so much talk about our porous borders with Mexico, our other porous border has gone virtually unnoticed, that being our border with Canada, you know the country that will let in just about anybody and their Grandmother.
Over the weekend, Canadian security officials arrested 17 suspected Islamic terrorists plotting destruction in that country’s largest city: Toronto. At least two other terrorists arrested earlier studied engineering in the United States in Atlanta (assuming they took time from their busy peanut farming internship). These radicals are believed to have belonged to terror cells operating freely in at least 5 countries with connections to radicals in the United States, Britain, Bangladesh, Bosnia, Denmark and Sweden.
This is not the first time that Islamic radicals have been found operating in Canada, quite a few in the past few years have attempted to cross in to the US to cause mayhem and destruction, yet our representatives in Congress seem only interested in securing the southern border, lending further evidence to the premise that the GOP’s anti-illegal immigrant hysteria is little more than a smokescreen designed to distract an increasingly sheep-like electorate.
If anything, given Mexico’s hypocritical immigration policies, we may have more to fear from al Qaeda agents slipping across the US-Canadian border than from Mexico. The fact of the matter is our country is vulnerable on many fronts and hack politicians on the left and the right are oblivious to the threat and incapable of developing a workable solution.
