Aliens and Smugglers Caught

Twice in the past 10 days Chinese illegals and their Canadian smugglers have been intercepted and arrested trying to enter the United States by crossing the Detroit River from Ontario to the city of Wyandotte, Michigan. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Wyandotte Police, and the Coast Guard participated in the apprehension of at least 10 illegals and two smugglers. Authorities have to assume that every illegal alien is a potential terrorist.

"If you can smuggle in aliens - some who are seeking a better life - then those who might have a different agenda can exploit the same method," said Brian Moskowitz, immigration special agent for Michigan and Ohio.

Homeland Security officials stated that they will continue to aggressively combat the smuggling of people across U.S. - Canadian waterways.

I'm of the opinion that the Canadian government, in general, and the Ontario provincial authorities, in particular, are not doing nearly enough to stem the flow of illegals. In fact, it's known worldwide that one of the easiest ways to get into the U.S. is to go to Canada on a tourist visa and then disappear across the border.
