U.S. considers erecting fences along Canadian border
- noonespecial 15y agoDon't want to go all tin hat here, but its worth remembering that big fences, lots of cameras and a bunch of seismic sensors in the ground are just as useful for keeping people in as for keeping people out. Edit: I'm not implying an impending "soviet socialist state of america" or anything quite so slashdot, just remembering that there is precedent for Americans seeking asylum in Canada against what they felt were unjust laws at home. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canada_and_the_Vietnam_War http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canada_and_the_Vietnam_War
