“The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) views the likelihood of terrorist crossing to be higher than they are at the southern border given the large expanse of area with limited law enforcement coverage”
Typical that it took a Congressional Committee to figure this out. All you need to do is look at a map.
What a waste of taxpayers’ money. So typical.
SENATORS RAISE ALARMS ABOUT
NORTHERN BORDER SECURITY
GAO Finds Major Gaps
Northern Border More Vulnerable To Terrorist Crossings
WASHINGTON – Top members of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee released a new report Tuesday that found alarming security vulnerabilities on the 4,000 mile long northern border between the United States and Canada where, according to the Department of Homeland Security, illegal crossings by terrorists are more likely than they are across the southern border.
The report evaluating northern border security was produced by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) upon the request of Committee Chairman Joe Lieberman, ID-Conn., Ranking Member Susan Collins, R-Me., Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations Chairman Carl Levin, D-Mich., Oversight of Government Management Subcommittee Chairman Daniel Akaka, D-Hawaii, and Senator Jon Tester, D-Mont.
According to the report, the Border Patrol was aware of all illegal border crossings on only 25 percent of the border, or 1,007 out of 4,000 miles. The Border Patrol was aware of all illegal crossings and was able to make an immediate arrest on less than 1 percent or 32 miles of the 4,000 mile border. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) views the likelihood of terrorist crossing to be higher than they are at the southern border given the large expanse of area with limited law enforcement coverage and the presence of Islamist extremists in Canada.
“The numbers speak for themselves,†Lieberman said. “These findings should sound a loud alarm to the Department of Homeland Security, the Canadian government, and our Committee.
We all make mistakes, bxgrl. Some of us will learn from those mistakes and others will not.

Having been in a position doesn’t mean he learned from it. The big O is intelligent & compos mentis.
I don’t see that the fact of having been an actor makes anyone of either side unsuitable for office. Probably somewhat the opposite.
Arkady, since you brought it up, you haven’t addressed my point above that reagan, although he started out as an actor, had far more governing experience when he became prseident than did Bimbo, er, sorry, Obama.
