BORDERS MATTER AGAIN. EVEN TO LIBERALS

   Furey:  To date, tens of thousands of people, goaded on by an industry of open borders activists, human traffickers and unscrupulous cab drivers, have jumped the asylum claimant queue to get a foothold in Canada at the time and place of their choosing.
   It was so obviously a violation of our sovereignty, to say nothing of common sense, to let this persist. Yet the Liberals seemed to get a kick out of the Conservatives crying foul against it – never let a cheap shot excuse to call someone racist go to waste! – that they not only kept it open but sadistically sent in a brigade of federal police to assist in the violation of federal laws that those officers were otherwise tasked with enforcing. Talk about demoralizing the troops.
   And so it took the wildfire spread of the coronavirus to do what regular politics couldn’t and force the closure of Roxham Road. It was just absurd of the Liberals to announce a near total closure of the U.S. border but to say, as they first did, that they’d still keep the illegal crossing open. The only caveat was that they’d house the crossers in quarantine for two weeks.
