Elaine Thompson: Drug Smugglers

Charles Schumer Dept: U.S. -Canada border security, like at this crossing in Blaine, Wash. will come under scrunity again with a U.S. Senate hearing on the subject next week. Elaine Thompson/Associated Press Sen. Charles Schumer, a New York Democrat, is holding a Senate hearing next week to prod federal officials for details about security initiatives along the border, according to CBC. News of Schumer's hearing before the subcommittee on immigration, refugees and border security came the same day that Canada's Fraser Institute released a report on U.S. congressional perceptions about Canada and the Canada-U.S. border will once again be under intense scrutiny in the United States as a congressional hearing aims to push for tighter security measures along the much-maligned boundary. Schumer said Tuesday that top officials from the Department of Homeland Security, formed after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, will attend the hearing to discuss proposals that include employing military-grade radar along the border to crack down on drug smugglers. As reported in the news.
