Feds Beef Up Security on NORTHERN Border…To Keep Dems IN or Canadians OUT?
Ironically, documentation required to cross the U.S.-Canada border is already so strict (“proof of citizenship and proof of identity”) that it rivals the voter I.D. laws liberals deem voter suppression and racist. – MORE at MRC
Two words…maybe three…Illegal back bacon…and I forgot about illegal Poutine…
It looks like the MRC story isn’t very well researched. 8 of the 13 sites that are offering signing bonuses are on the southern border.
I have spent a winter within 15 miles of Portal ND and you could not convince me to live there for $32-$40K which is what the position pays.

There was a congressional hearing on this about a year ago. Ironically, the witnesses testifying were members of the Canadian refugee resettlement council touting the benefits of our countries working together to bring more in and “there’s safety in cooperation”.
The head agent for the northern US Border Patrol was sounding the alarm of the present danger along 5500 miles of rural terrain and lack of funding for agents. Can’t recall the # of agents we have but it’s ridiculously low.
We cross the border to Montreal often and both US/CBSA are extremely thorough. Then again, we’re not traipsing thru the woods under cover of darkness.
We need to beef up security on our Northern borders to stop further acceleration of our increasing pand ice hockey problem. And don’t get me started about the problem with gravy on french fried.
Fire a whole bunch of useless
cubical squatting bungling bureaucrats.
Then we would have money to pay border
patrol agents $80-$95k and hire 10x as many !!!
Give ’em bigger 4×4 trucks and MUCH bigger guns !!!
