So uh... Sharon Angle, exactly what Terrorists came into the US from Canada
getting really sick of GOP/Tea idiots saying this.

Canada annoyed with Sharron Angle

Canada's ambassador to the U.S. has called on Nevada Senate candidate Sharron Angle to take back her claim that terrorists have come into the country over the northern border.

"Our Northern border is where the terrorists came through," Angle told a group of Hispanic students last week. "That's the most porous border that we have."

2. I think the millennium bomber the border
patrol caught in 1999 is the only documented attempt of anyone one trying to get in that way....


Ressam then attempted to cross the border by taking the M/V Coho car ferry from Victoria, British Columbia, to Port Angeles, Washington.<10><9> He successfully passed through U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service checks in Victoria, and boarded the last ferry of the day for the 90-minute crossing to the U.S.<24><6><16>
After the ferry docked in Port Angeles at 6 pm, Ressam saw to it that his car was the last one to leave the ferry.<1><22><16> Although there had not been any intelligence reports suggesting threats, U.S. Customs inspector Diana Dean decided to have a secondary Customs search of Ressam's car performed saying later that Ressam was acting "hinky", and asked him to get out of the car.

4. Don't forget that right after 9/11 there were reports claiming that some of the 9/11 terrorists
came to the US through the Soo Locks in the UP of Michigan, later it was said they didn't. But I remember it was a big deal in the local media at the time.

6. Blame Canada...
We always get blamed first for US incompetence.

NE Power grid goes off line? Yup, Canada, certainly not an Owl in upstate NY.
