While TSA Ramps Up Inside US,Northern Border Security Is Relaxed., page

Why is the US Border Patrol relaxing their vigilance at the Canadian border?

SEATTLE — The U.S. Border Patrol has quietly stopped its controversial practice of routinely searching buses, trains and airports for illegal immigrants at transportation hubs along the northern border and in the U.S. interior, preventing agents from using what had long been an effective tool for tracking down people here illegally, The Associated Press has learned.
Current and former Border Patrol agents said field offices around America began receiving the order last month — soon after the Obama administration announced that to ease an overburdened immigration system, it would allow many illegal immigrants to remain in the country while it focuses on deporting those who have committed crimes.

US scales back northern border checks.

So,we have less scrutiny at the northern border but increased scrutiny within the US by the TSA in Tennessee and elsewhere.

Is the Obama administration looking to expose US citizens to danger to justify increased TSA abuses?

Ok so again how many illegal aliens do cross the canadien border to go to the states, im sure it happens but its such a minority that not many arrest are made, canada isisnt a 3rd world country like mexico, you so rarely hear of anything going through the border, all we hear really is drugs going back and forth and guns coming up north.

So sorry but really i dont see why the usa should waste more money staling canadien shopers that want to go invade your shoping malls.

I think the USA has a bigger problem with is own population, and the illegal aliens going through your southern border.

Have a nice day

Lol sorry i dont want to make fun of you or nothing, but the canadien border has to be the safest border you guys have to deal with, we do ship tons of weed down to the states, and you guys ship back cocaine and guns.

Haha...I was thinking the same thing. I'm having a hard time recalling the last time I heard of some illegal immigrant pulling something at the Canadian border.....in fact, I don't think I EVER have.....LOL!

However, the OP's argument is valid if you apply it to the situation along the Mexican border. I certainly see no logic in placing random TSA checkpoints along U.S. highways looking for boogeymen terrorists when such a thing would be more useful in solving the urgent and realistic problems along the Mexican border.

Did he have a bomb, or did the MSM just label him a terrorist because he was Muslim?.....LOL
