President Donald Trump’s first week in office saw a flurry of executive orders to secure the southern border and turn off the giant magnet attracting the world to enter the U.S. illegally. At the same time, he’s taken the gloves off interior immigration enforcement, including deportations. But while there is a lot to worry about at the southern border, the northern border is twice as long, has no wall, and is mostly wide-open.
Before his election, Trump warned he would impose tariffs on Canada and Mexico unless they curbed the flow of illegal aliens and drugs into the United States. On Tuesday, these tariffs were slated to go into effect, but last-minute capitulations from both countries bought them a 30-day reprieve.
The open-border threat from Mexico is obvious, but why worry about Canada? Three reasons: drugs, unvetted illegal migrants, and terrorists.
