My grandfather went to Canada and flew with the RCAF prior to America joining the war. A lot of American fighter pilots did.

You are absolutely correct. The United Empire Loyalists and the draft dodgers have greatly enriched Canada. Thousands also came up to join the Canadian armed forces in both WW1 and WW2 in those years before the USA joined in.
Protect your borders all you like. Who's asking you to admit improperly vetted refugees?The video below is the testimony of a Lebanese woman named Brigitte Gabriel who lived in an 8'x10' bomb shelter as radical Muslim extremists took advantage of Lebanon's "open border policy".
The video is a warning to North American countries about what will happen to us if we continue to permit improperly vetted refugees to enter. I believe the main reason Trump is getting so many votes is because people like his stance on protecting our borders.
Some of this testimony is crude and upsetting. Prepare yourself for what you will hear.
I've tried to point out to the Trump fanbois before that it is a well established military fact that an obstacle that isn't covered by observation or fire is useless. You can build all the walls you like. Unless you have someone standing on top of it it's useless, arguably wore than useless, since it tends to become a strategic blindspot (ask General Westmoreland).Because there is clearly no difference with a country bordering syria and one across a vast ocean with vetting processes.....
I agree we should secure our border, but a wall is not nearly as effective as personnel. Fortunately we have many DEA agents doing noting of value we could deploy at our borders.
If it looks like the Donald will win the Presidency, I assure that many of my fellow Canadians and I would be willing to build such a wall ourselves.....You folks want to build a wall with Canada too?

What do you think the odds are I'll be listened to this time?
HAHA!!As a Canadian looking south at the xenophobia, racism and political fear mongering, maybe Canada should be considering a wall --------------- and make Trump pay for it.
Are you serious!? How horribly insensitive you are to call what this woman and many other Lebanese people experienced and endured, "garbage"! Tens of thousands of people lost their lives to radical Muslims and you have the gaul to call her testimony GARBAGE?I have family still living in Lebanon this very day and they are living well with their Muslim neighbors and not being overrun by "radical muslims", even with a huge influx of Syrian refugees coming into that nation (many of whom are Christian and most of the muslims of which are not "radical").
So who do I believe? Internet Lebanese lady or my family and friends and the family and friends of people in my Church who still live peacefully in beautiful Beirut???
Also, I wonder, does she ever talk about the violence that Lebanese Catholic (Maronite) militias have in the past committed against Christian Armenian groups, buildings, and neighborhoods?
What garbage
How are Lebanon and the US at all comparable?Are you serious!? How horribly insensitive you are to call what this woman and many other Lebanese people experienced and endured, "garbage"! Tens of thousands of people lost their lives to radical Muslims and you have the gaul to call her testimony GARBAGE?
shame on you.
I suppose you think the HOLOCAUST is "garbage" too??
How about the genocide in Turkey, is that also GARBAGE?
Just because things with someone you know in Lebanon "today" are ok does not discount what Brigette Gabriel endured at the hands of radical Muslims who invaded the country after Lebanon made the exact same error the USA is making today.
The POINT of the video is to warn Americans of what can happen if we continue to permit unvetted Muslims enter the country.
Your post is absolutely outrageous trash-heap material.
Are they going to catapult over the wall wearing jetpacks and parachutes to make a softer landing?I've tried to point out to the Trump fanbois before that it is a well established military fact that an obstacle that isn't covered by observation or fire is useless.

This question shows far too much ignorance to dignify it with a serious answer, lolHow are Lebanon and the US at all comparable?
Good thing I didn't expect one from you... I wasn't let down.This question shows far too much ignorance to dignify it with a serious answer, lol
Trump has said nothing about any of that. His "quote" is for building the wall. Not for border patrol, cameras, etc.Are they going to catapult over the wall wearing jetpacks and parachutes to make a softer landing?
No one has said it's 'just' going to be a wall. Obviously there will need to be some form of surveillance. All those details will come forth during the planning stage.
Caged video cameras are a great tool to mount on walls for ensuring boundaries are respected.
The entire seaboard is not "fenced". And, the Mexican government has not declared war, therefore Mexico cannot be accurately labeled as an "enemy". And, no illegal immigration has been prevented by submarine nets.No one makes fun of the enormous submarine nets placed in the ocean to keep the enemy at bay.
The gaul?Are you serious!? How horribly insensitive you are to call what this woman and many other Lebanese people experienced and endured, "garbage"! Tens of thousands of people lost their lives to radical Muslims and you have the gaul to call her testimony GARBAGE?

Yes, it is. And the operative words there are , illegally cross Mexico.That's a rather interesting statement to make given the amount of Central Americans that illegally cross Mexico to enter the United States...
Enormous submarine nets, huh?Are they going to catapult over the wall wearing jetpacks and parachutes to make a softer landing?
