Frontière canado-américaine: problème de sécurté



Susan Brown (photo), éditorialiste qui s'intéresse à la politique, à l'économie, à la culture et à l'armée, a une opinion assez tranchée sur les mesures de sécurité à la frontière entre le Canada et les États-Unis.

Voici un petit extrait dans lequel elle n'est pas particulièrement tendre pour nos pratiques:

"With that in mind, it would make sense for the administration to strengthen the security of our northern borders. Canada is well-known for its lenient immigration policies, and, according to Canadian Security Intelligence Service, Canada ranks second highest in the world for active terrorist groups. On October 25, 2011, Canada’s Public Safety Minister, Vic Toews, spoke to the ongoing “risk of violent extremism in a number of communities in Canada.”
Many believe Canada has a dysfunctional refugee system that all but invites terrorists into its fold because it is known as the easiest developed world country for applicants to obtain refugee status, and allows them four years to roam to and fro while awaiting the legal process.
Rather than strengthening our security, it appears the administration is doing the opposite. (Bizzaro) After meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper, the White House made a “Beyond the Border” declaration on February 4, 2011, stating his administration intends “to pursue a perimeter approach to security” to “enhance our security and accelerate the legitimate flow of people, goods, and services between our two countries” in hopes to “address threats before they reach our shores.”
According to Attorney General Holder, the yet-to -be enacted “Beyond the Border” program will launch a pilot program called “NextGen” sometime next year. “Sometime next year” may not be soon enough considering the potential danger lurking due north. And, “sometime next year” may be too soon to share a new “perimeter approach” with a country that does not share similar immigration views."
