Straight for Boortz:
This should make you feel safe and secure while you're on vacation this summer. The porous (full of holes, for those of you in government schools without dictionaries) U.S. border with Mexico makes all headlines because of the illegal immigration problem. But an equally dangerous situation exists at the Canadian border.
A dirty little secret is that there are a number of unmanned border posts with Canada. That's right...someone, anyone...could walk right across in the United States, completely undetected. Canada has much more lax immigration rules than we do, so Islamic terrorists can easily sneak in. So with all of that is a backdrop, we take you to the U.S.-Canadian border located at Calais, Maine.
On April 25th, Gregory Despres showed up carrying a homemade sword, a hatchet, a knife, brass knuckles and a chain saw stained with blood. Just the kind of guy we need here in the U.S., right? So what happened to Mr. Despres? If this had been an airport, he would have been arrested immediately. But that's not what happened.
U.S. Customs agents fingerprinted him, confiscated his weapons, and let him into the United States. Two days later, he was arrested for decapitating a 74-year-old man and stuffing his head into a pillowcase. The man's wife was also discovered stabbed to death. Not a good showing for the U.S. Customs department here.
The point is...with everybody looking down south, nobody should forget the border up north has just as many, if not more holes.

I just crossed the Canadian border last weekend by car. They had US Customs personnel swarming the wait lines, asking me questions before I drove up to the booth where another guy asked me questions. Then, about 1 hour into NY the entire highway was shut down by the Border Patrol for another round of questions and searches. But sure, take 1 example and apply it to an entire border. And I know what porous means, I learned it at my government school(aka your friendly local public school)...what next Ben, proposing underground anti-govt hate schools?
Dave Guevara sez blah blah
Dude, calm down. All I did was paste something from Boortz. I wanted to tell the story, I'm not necessarily a proponent of Boortz's solutions. As it turns out, I read more about this story and discovered that the border patrol did detain him for questioning, but despite really wanting to, they couldn't find a valid reason to keep him. What the hell is this anti-gov't hate shcool crap? Why do you keep attacking me as some ultra-right winger when I've shown time and time again that I'm not?
I got no problem with public schooling, so long as it works. Right now, however, zero teolerance is making a mockery of public education, and the widening gap in achievment between low income and high income schools also reveals serious problems. Vouchers would create competition and perhaps cause schools to improve. Choice is not a bad thing.
