There are over 1200 border crossings in Canada and they protect the entire country and are the first line of defence on terrorism and illegal activity.

    She than moves on to state, similarly to Gotlieb, that the United States primary concern at the moment is security, thus having Canada prove to the US that they pose no threat. Therefore, is it really Canada’s foreign policy if our main focus is external relations with the US. Welsh suggests that we must build upon other relations among the international community, as “the United States will not be the world’s only superpower forever”. Additionally, a recent report from a UN high level panel on collective security, state “today’s threats know no boundaries and must be addressed at the global and regional levels”, thus leading Welsh to suggesting that Canada follows the UN report, and create a foreign policy that “actively address these threats, in collaboration with other actors on the international stage”, compared to Gotlieb suggesting we stay away from UN ideas. In conclusion, though both authors have a different view on how Canada should approach their foreign policy, both Welsh and Gotlieb agree that in order for Canada to continue to grow in the international community, they must rethink their foreign

    In the book “Migra! A History of the U.S Border Patrol, author Kelly Lytle Hernandez describes the history of the U.S border patrol from the 1920s to the end of the twentieth century. Specifically, Hernandez writes about how the border patrol has changed its target or “suspect” from Chinese and European immigrants to Mexican people.

These legislatures, such as Bill C-36, has been created specifically to fight off terrorism, but this fight has been done almost blindly and in a rash manner. Cases
