Ben Carson calls for U.S. troops on Canadian border

http://www.thestar.com/news/world/2015/12/15/ben-carson-calls-for-us-troops-on-canadian-border.html

Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson is calling for the U.S. to deploy soldiers to parts of the Canadian border.

Carson, who is fading quickly in the polls, made the proposal as part of the “Seven Steps to a Safer America” anti-terrorism plan he issued on Tuesday.

The sixth step: “President Barack Obama and Congress should immediately deploy the National Guard and military troops to patrol the U.S. southern border as well as designated spots along the northern border.”

He did not identify the spots or say why he believes current security measures along the Canadian border are inadequate.


Well, someone has to stop all those hosers from swarming down here for our healthcare.

He can have a spot on the US/Canadian border in the middle of Lake Superior to protect us. It's nice there this time of year...
