Although we don't have quite the same border situation here in the USA, there are some similarities. We have ignorant isolationists disguising their racism as concern over the Mexico border. They cry about security, drugs and jobs, but then fail to do anything productive to manage the situation. Truthfully, they'd rather have a hot button issue to complain about than a solution. Meanwhile, the Canadian border has always been easier. I guess they figure only good white people come from that direction or something. Even so, even going back to the 9/11 era I remember it becoming more annoying to try and cross back into the USA after visiting Canada.
The way the world changed following World War 2 is the reason why we never had World War 3. The cooperation, treaties, and opening of borders connected everybody for mutual benefit. Now people are threatening to tear all of that down. They think they're benefiting themselves by retreating from the global community. But that couldn't be further from the truth. When we depend on each other we protect each other.
4 miles to kick off my morning. Another nice day, for a change.
