US 'Shoot on Site' Order Issued For Escaping Americans

I think you guys are missing the point here. Firstly, we don't shoot illegal immigrants on site, we generally round them up and send them back if we catch them.

Secondly, as an American citizen you should have the right to decide to leave your country without the fear of retaliation from the government unless you are a military deserter or other type of "spoken for" person.

Thirdly, Canada has a long history of extradition of US criminals and suspects etc so this represents a drastic change in policy.

Fourthly, the US/Canadian border is about as open as it gets, there's never been an issue with citizens of either country going either direction for any reason.

You really need to ask yourself, why would they need to pass a law like this?

If they Canadians are ill equipped to enforce a shoot on site policy, who do you think they'd outsource it to?

"Why would Homeland Security hire former Stasi chief Markus Wolfe and former head of the KGB General Yevgeni Primakov?

Is this part of the Bush anti-terror strategy? After all, Wolfe is the man who is credited with building up the feared East German secret police that was responsible for the disappearance and deaths of thousands of citizens. And, Primakov’s record is not any better. As skipper of the KGB he was driving force behind the machinery of state terror; a legacy that still has a chilling affect on many Russians."

Who better to "protect" the Land of the free than EX KGB and Stasi Heads...Good grief,you couldn`t make it up could you?

True, some thoughtful responses, but wasn't it Sorcha Faal that reported the imminent US attack on Iran last April. Lots of details about US activity on Diego Garcia atoll, and a tsunami or something?

Anyways, here's an excerpt from one of his previous missives:

"Russian FSB sources are reporting today that an attempt by Special Forces Troops of the United States Military to arrest the American Vice President Cheney shortly after boarding his official plane in Australia has resulted in at least 3 dead and an unknown number of wounded."

I think we can rest easy about this one...I hope

I don't know how most Americans stand on the issue of our borders, but my father is all for "if you shoot a couple each day, I guarantee they will stop coming over!" A little harsh yes but we are in a time of war. Can they not use the same tech and security at our borders as they do in Groom lake, Nevada?

so you guys think us citizens should be able to cross the border to canada illegally then? wouldn't the canadians just be using the same tactics the us uses at its southern borders?
