Guarding Borders Against Criminals

 

 

In any case we are not attacking them at all. We are offering them incalculable benefits.


― T.H. White, 
The Once and Future King

 

 

They began settling here a long time ago

At first they were welcome, but they developed a ‘tude

We need their charity - they tell us so!

But their intentions are obvious and crude

 

With insolence, edict, and a heavy political hand

They’ve come to save us from ourselves; that’s what they say

Here in our beloved Canada, our home and native land –

Oh, won’t the Americans just go away!
