Why the New Security Zone along the Canadian Border?

By Michael Collins


The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) just issued an environmental report on its enhanced security plan to cover an area extending from the East Coast to the West Coast, from the northern border of the United States to 100 miles south of the border. While there are few specifics on the new security measures, the environmental report offers enough to see how we will be protected against threats to national security coming from Canada. The Department of Homeland security will enhance efforts and technologies to reduce the danger from "known terrorist affiliates and extremist groups have an undisputed presence along the Northern Border in both the United States and Canada." Northern Border Security Programs, p. 1-3, September 2011 (Northern Borr) ....

Has Canada suddenly become a hotbed of virulent anti-American activity? Are the Mounties and other law enforcement agencies in Canada turning a blind eye to known threats? Are we expected to believe that the nation that turned down a featured role in the coalition of the willing has suddenly become lax on enforcing international law?

1. Sometimes we just need a Berlin wall

for one reason or another.:puke:

[dipsydoodle]

2. To keep their geese out

:)

[RC]

18. Good. They as so messy

[Angry Dragon]

3. Drones

[Scuba]

4. Worried about people leaving?

[peace frog]

10. Ding ding ding ding ding!

They are more concerned about Americans fleeing to Canada than the reverse.

[City Lights]

13. Bingo! eom

[immoderate]

19. As the climate warms, Canadians will have a problem.

[FarCenter]

5. Political correctness -- We have to secure the Canadian border first

Otherwise, securing the Mexican border is racist.

[bikebloke]

6. To make someone rich.

You can bet they've already been promised the contract.

[liberal N proud]

7. Maybe there was "chatter" about attacking Canada

And we want to protect ourselves from the fallout.

Set off an attack on the north shore of Lake Erie and the fallout could effect Detroit, Cleveland or Buffalo.

[TheCowsCameHome]

8. To keep us from escaping.

[TreasonousBastard]

9. It's not that new. Years ago someone noticed that your cleverer terrorist could...

fly into Montreal and just drive down here, instead of flying into Newark. Since then, driving up there has been hell with the "pre-border" checks.

Homeland Security has become an industry, and is showing rapid growth.

[saras]

11. ...and the correct answer: all the above

[TheKentuckian]

23. Yup, yup

[Denninmi]

12. Because, here in Detroit,

They're always trying to smuggle poutine and Aero bars across the border.

Damned Canadian traffickers.

[Old and In the Way]

14. We've become a Maximum Security Country.

This fortress mentality keeps other people out...and our citizens in. So much for freedom and democracy....

[autorank]

28. They're getting bolder!

This is so ridiculous, I'm surprised that the they let it out. They value our opinion so little, they're not even trying to fool us
anymore.

[SammyWinstonJack]

34. Land of the Free....Home of the Brave.

:silly:

[saras]

35. Free? That's how much you're worth to them. Brave? The soldiers we killed to take America.

It's just like real estate elsewhere - they name it after what they had to kill to build it.

Eagle Ridge? Used to be eagles where them houses are. Cedargrove? Used to be cedars where them houses are.
Land of the Free? Home of the Brave? There used to be free braves where them houses are.

[mmonk]

15. Don't fence me in.

[pipi_k]

16. Too frightening to think of, but here it is...

Red Green and his duct tape.

17. Ooh, militant mounties out to get us.

Run! Hide! Vote for rightwing fascists! ;-)

[Me.]

20. +1

[Stinky The Clown]

21. Hey Mikey, you know the answer.

They don't want us to escape. Not all of us are picked to the bones yet.

[Kurovski]

22. Sure it's about all the easy swag to be made from manufactured fear...

but the bonus lies in when we get the full blown fascist state we've wanted for Xmas since 1925.

Rec'd at lucky number five.

[Hugabear]

24. Maybe South Park had it right along

[autorank]

29. And I saw the damn movie!

Right there in front of me, all along. Thanks!

[Demeter]

Jeezus.

Dudley Do-Right gone wild.
