Desiree: You will find, attached, numerous pictures of the Peace Arch border crossing and the surrounding area. The pictures are, obviously, from Google Maps. The Peace Arch border crossing is 27.5 miles from my apartment. It is where I usually cross the border. If you look at the picture named border_crossing_looking_north.jpg you see that I circled an obelisk. That obelisk marks the actual, physical border between the two countries. Do you see any security? Any fences or walls? Anything at all to obstruct movement between the two countries? Now, turn your attention to the image named border_crossing_looking_south.jpg. That is taken from exactly right next to the same obelisk, but facing south, into the US. Over to the left is the park that is in the other pictures. Any signs of Border Patrol? Anyone attempting to inspect people moving between the two countries? Now, have a look at in_us_park_facing_canada.jpg. That is about 100 feet to the east of the same obelisk. you see that road beyond the bench where the guy and his dog are sitting? That's the intersection of Peace Park Drive and 0 Ave. That intersection is in Canada; the park the picture is taken from is in the US. Do you see anything suggesting that people are not allowed to move freely? In fact, let's go to the picture named peace_park_drive_and_zero_ave.jpg. This picture is just about 15 feet north of the previous one. In fact, you can see part of the same bench right there, behind the hedges (I've circled it for you). Do you see that opening in the two hedges? With the paved path/walkway? That is, in fact, a paved path for people to walk and/or ride their bicycles on. And it crosses right over the border. Not only is there nothing suggesting that people SHOULDN'T move freely between the two points, they've even created a walkway to make such movement easier! Now have a look at zero_ave_facing_south.jpg. That is standing on 0 Ave, which runs along the border, on the Canadian side. See what's right next to it? Completely open, unobstructed access to that nice, inviting park in Washington State. There is a ditch that runs along the road, for drainage, and every 100 feet, or so, there is a covering so that you can step across easily (circled, on the far left). Have a look at in_us_park_facing_canada-01.jpg. You see that road? That's in Canada. Everything on this side is the US. The houses - they're in Canada. You see that spot I've circled on the far right? That's one of the points where the ditch is covered over to facilitate movement. Do you see ANYTHING, ANYWHERE that would make it in any way difficult to simply walk from any one point to any other point? So why the fuck do you think that if I wanted to be in the US I would not be? People obviously hang out in that park and nobody bothers them. There are no ICE agents or border patrol running around demanding to see peoples' proof of lawful presence. Do you not think an ordinary looking, English speaking person could just come and go as they pleased? Do you not think those people that live in those houses along 0 Avenue do just walk across the border to take their children to that park? God damn, you're such a fucking moron. Cheers, Fox
