Are there really parts of the US–Canada border that are unprotected?
Yes there are unprotected areas.That town, Derby Line, VT and Stanstead QC, is no longer an unprotected border. You cannot freely cross the border in that town anymore. Since 9/11 the US now has 100% passport checks (with a few exceptions where enhanced driver's licenses are accepted).There is often nothing but a sign in Derby Line, VT or Stanstead QC, telling you not to passSo in that sense, the border is unprotected. You could walk or drive along one of the roads or city streets into the other city, but there are security cameras everywhere and you will be pulled over by the the local police or border patrol.All highways and roads leading from the US to Canada, and vice versa, are now protected borders.Off the roads, you can find unprotected areas which are only patrolled every once in a while. Here is one in my state, Washington:The only thing stopping people from illegally entering the US, is this sign, and the chance you might get caught.Outside of many of the border crossing point, like this one at the end of US 95......there is nothing but trees. Someone could easily stop on the side of the road, or get dropped off, and take a hike through the un-patrolled and un-fenced forest.The only exception to this I can think of, is one town in Alaska without a border crossing where you can legally enter the US without a border crossing, at the Hyder - Stewart Border Crossing. There is no road leading from that town to the rest of the US though and residents have to drive through Canada to get to the rest of Alaska, or fly.Canada though, does still man a checkpoint on the border checking all Hyder residents as they enter Canada.In sum:Yes there are unprotected areas, in fact, most of the border is unprotected. Few roads however lead from the US to Canada without a checkpoint at the border, and vice versa. Most either now have a Jersey Barrier at the border, or simply don’t connect. There are a few roads still with nothing but signs, but many of the ones kept open are used by border patrol.This is not like the Mexico-US border, where you could theoretically take a 4 wheel drive across the desert through a gap of no fence, and drive into the US. There are trees, mountains, lakes, and rivers everywhere. Aside from towns that straddle the border (and most those are heavily patrolled), with a few exceptions, the only way to drive into Canada from the US, or into the US from Canada, is to drive along a road that leads to a border checkpoint.
Do you believe President Trump’s tweet that ranchers on the Southern Border found Muslim “prayer rugs” which proves terrorists are coming into the US? Why or why not?
There's PROOF that terrorists who were caught were caught at the Canadian border, I believe they caught 6 of them. None of them came through from the south of the border.. the prayer rugs claim is just more of Trump's ignorant racism towards middle Easterns and fear mongering tactics.“When it comes to land crossings, Canada has more often been the source of terrorism suspects entering the U.S., though not in great numbers. By far the majority of people who arouse concern try to enter by air.”AP FACT CHECK: Trump's Mythical Terrorist Tide From MexicoDon't believe ANYTHING Trump says, he has said over 7000+ falsehoods during his 2 years as president.. he's lied even more before he was president and lied the MOST out of all presidents. He lied about being successful business man.. he is actually a horrible businessman and many of his businesses went bankrupt, got sued, or collapsed. Trump's casino in Atlantic City was doing so bad, Trump's father committed fraud help keep the business running, buying gambling chips to put money into the casino and not using them (illegal).. thus bailing him out every single time.If you are a Trump supporter and you STILL believe what he says, you are in absolute denial and easy to be fear mongered. I am not trying to make fun of anyone.. the facts are there. Trump supporters never fact check, instead they search for facts, mostly false facts (alternative facts) to justify their beliefs. When fact checked, they start to play the blame game.. because blaming is so much easier.
