The Same People Who Are Bitchin About Arizona...

...are fighting to protect a border that has no crime and doesn't need protecting.

Vt. farmer draws a line at US bid to bolster border - Homeland Security threatens to seize 4.9 acres

quote:

FRANKLIN, Vt. — The red brick house sits unassumingly on a sleepy back road where the lush farmlands of northern Vermont roll quietly into Canada. This is the Morses Line border crossing, a point of entry into the United States where more than three cars an hour constitute heavy traffic...

...The Department of Homeland Security sees Morses Line as a weak link in the nation’s borders, attractive to terrorists trying to smuggle in lethal materials. The government is planning an estimated $8 million renovation here as part of a nationwide effort to secure border crossings.


A weak link? Now watch this video, and then this one. It's not like Janet from another planet Napolitano doesn't know where the real problems are.

another quote about the Vermont situation:

It intends to acquire 4.9 acres of border land on a dairy farm owned for three generations by the Rainville family. Last month, the Rainvilles learned that if they refuse to sell the land for $39,500, the government intends to seize it by eminent domain.
