There is actually a healthy propaganda industry built up around the Northern Border. Not a day passes without a story of some mysterious cars waiting for runners at the Canadian border. It is an occasional thing, people with work visas expiring, people wanting to reunite with family, muslim families, actual running from the law. There are many, many border patrol families who want in on the federal disbursement of border dollars and they probably already had a reduction of marijuana funds, so they've got catching up to do (although clowns inexplicably do buy marijuana on the wrong side of the border even still.)

The "ridiculous open border" with Cananda is a fact of life and a major economic driver on each side of the border -- but we're talking about Vermont, New York, Michigan Minnesota, Washington. New Hampshire and Maine. Hmm. I wonder what the motivation is? (yes I know I left out Idaho, Montana and North Dakota. AFAIK there is no real economic synergy with the border there. Is the picture clearing up?)
