It is true, perhaps, that Mexico is a long-term problem, one measured in decades. But the GWOT is an immediate problem and Canada poses the gravest threat to further attacks on American soil.
All one need do is peruse the News services to see that Al Qaeda is coupled together with Canada far, far more often than it is with Mexico. In fact, it is by magnitudes of hundreds, not dozens, of reports.
Starting with the attempt to bomb Seattle in the year 1999 and going right up to this very day, Canada has proven a danger to the security of the USA. Members of Al Qaeda have told investigators that they prize Canadian members of their group as some of their most valuable assets.

In fact, if they didn't have an enemy they would invent one.
Saudi-born Osama bin Laden was recruited during the Soviet-Afghan war ironically under the auspices of the CIA, to fight Soviet invaders. With the active encouragement of the CIA and Pakistan's ISI (Inter Services Intelligence), who wanted to turn the Afghan jihad into a global war waged by all Muslim states against the Soviet Union, some 35,000 Muslim radicals from 40 Islamic countries joined Afghanistan's fight between 1982 and 1992. Tens of thousands more came to study in Pakistani madrasahs. Eventually more than 100,000 foreign Muslim radicals were directly influenced by the Afghan jihad. Bin Laden was one of these jihad commanders and was instrumental in this effort.
The Islamic jihad, then, was directly supported by the United States and Saudi Arabia (where bin Laden is from) with a significant part of the funding generated from the Golden Crescent drug trade. Al-Qaeda and bin Laden, as well as the Islamic jihad, is featured by the Bush Adminstration as "a threat to America" and is blamed for the terrorist assaults on 9/11. These same Islamic organisations constitute a key instrument of U.S. military-intelligence operations in Iraq, the Balkans, the former Soviet Union and other countries around the globe.
From the Cold War era to the present, Washington has consciously and directly supported Osama bin Laden and al-Qaeda, while at same time placing him on the FBI's "most wanted list" as the world's foremost terrorist. This fact is rarely mentioned by the media in connection with Islamic "terrorist activities" in Iraq and around the world.

Every time you complain about the moderators, god kills a kitten.
I'm all for closing our borders permanently with the USA.
Good riddance to the New World ODOUR.
And by the way please keep the Aspartame, Flouride, McDonalds, ChemTrails, Hollywood, FOX TV, and what ever else you consider to be 'culture' on the US side of the border.
I can't imagine a more toxic environment than the USA in 2005.
Keep your liberties to yourself, we will keep ours to ourselves.
