In an effort to further inconvenience travellers to the US, some in congress want to build a wall between BC and Washington State. This is in addition to a requirement for more documentation and scrutiny for those entering the US for any reason. The US/Mexico fence I can understand but to my knowledge there are not teeming hordes of illegal aliens trying to enter from the North. The teeming hordes are typically housewives heading to the Gap Outlet.
A fence will hurt the law abiding and have little or no effect on those who choose to try to enter illegally. Post 9/11 line-ups to go south are already 1 - 4 hours on the weekends. Forget going on long weekends.
What a joke. Maybe the procurement guys can pick up pieces of the Berlin Wall on ebay. I only hope Pink Floyd stays around long enough to help knock it down a second time.
