I have no problem with showing passports when going to and from Canada but you continually avoid answering the question. Which border is a bigger priority and where would our resources be used most effectively?
Did you even bother to read your own article?
The highlights:
The beefed-up border security is not taking place along America's chaotic southern border - riven by drug smuggling, gun running and illegal immigration
- but, rather, its traditionally boring northern boundary with Canada.
The changes have jarred communities along the 3,987-mile border - the longest undefended border in the world.
"Those of us who grew up here never considered it to be a border," said Bernadette Secco, a communications consultant on the Canadian side of Niagara Falls who sometimes dines or shops in the U.S. three times a day. "We're neighbors, not terrorists."
Unlike the Mexican border -- which is half as long - no drug war or chaos rages in the north. Arrests and drug seizures in 2008 totaled less than 1 percent of those down south.
"It's a whole lot quieter up here," said Azel J. Price, a border patrol agent in Buffalo, who previously worked for seven years in Yuma, Ariz.
In an interview on "The National," Canada's main evening TV news show, Napolitano said April 20 that "to the extent that terrorists have come into our country ... it's been across the Canadian border."
Asked if she was talking about the Sept. 11 perpetrators, she replied, "Not just those, but others as well."
Ressam is the only known example of a suspected terrorist trying to cross the border. None of the 19 skyjackers came through Canada, according to the 9/11 Commission report. Napolitano later said that she knew of other cases that had not been made public "due to security reasons."
Canadian officials in Ottawa contacted Napolitano's office to complain, and Canada's ambassador to Washington, Michael Wilson, said he was "frustrated" by the comments.
