I am sure Winnipeg will be glad as they are being bombarded with refugees of the Mexican type. I hope this does catch people smuggling at the border. I do fear how ever that any information will be slanted before the Canadian government is ever informed. Now if we could just do something about the underground native American smuggling we would be leaps ahead.

It might not be what is most wanted but our military is not as well finanially backed as the USA. I expect we will see their fighters patrolling with ours to the north or planes like this one to watch the ever evil Russians now that the cold war seems to be strqating up again.

The unmanned aerial vehicle, or UAV, will be based at Grand Forks, N.D., and will be used to monitor border areas for the illegal transfer of drugs, weapons, people, and "who knows what else," said Michael Kostelnik of U.S. Customs and Border Protection. |
Manitoba is one of the easiest places to cross the border and is why it is targeted. The great lakes are an issue also but better patrolled. They would be staying in US airspace and grabbing them before they get here or getting our exporters as soon as they cross the border.
I was watching the late news recently and we are getting a great increase in refugees in Mannitoba. The are going acroos the border in this area, likely illegally so this would be a way to stop it. I would think that the people started by getting to the USA illegally then head to Canada. The States and Canada both are eager to stop this and keep the people in their own country till they get here through due process.
