Hawk Helicopters: Canadian Immigrants

Janet Napolitano Dept: Such an agreement could, for instance, profoundly affect Canada's immigration policies. The consequences, however, could be both positive and negative. Refugee claimants arriving within Canada's 12-mile territorial limit by boat currently have certain rights that they would not have in the U.S. There are many Canadians who agree with the U.S. approach. Yet, would family members of Canadian immigrants be denied entry if the U.S. considers them to be risks? The devil, as they say, is in the details, according to Calgary Herald. In addition to more intrusive red tape, that would mean an increase in the number of drones, Black Hawk helicopters, motion detectors, full-body scans and border agents, which the U.S. has increased sixfold along the Canada-U. S. border since 2001 and t he prospect of Canada ceding sovereignty to the U.S. in a secretly negotiated border security arrangement has understandably raised the hackles of the Opposition and the Council of Canadians. A draft proposal of a deal leaked last week talks of a perimeter security arrangement. It is thin on specifics. Canadians have a right to be nervous. The notion of a secured perimeter is not new. It has several tantalizing advantages. Working together on a North American perimeter could be far more efficient for trade than building walls, not to mention far less expensive. The alternative from the U.S. perspective is a further "hardening of the border," to quote the American security lexicon. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano has expressed a desire for "a real border" between Canada and the U.S., essentially treating Canada like Mexico. As reported in the news.
