The House Northern Border Security Caucus, founded in February, is comprised of 28 Republicans concerned about increased human and drug trafficking, along with the decrease in Border Patrol agents and lack of security, along the US-Canada border.
DETROIT — Members of Congress regularly flock to the U.S. border with Mexico to highlight illegal crossings and drug and human smuggling. Now they’re raising concerns over similar threats from the north, if on a smaller scale.
Lawmakers in the Northern Border Security Caucus contend these kinds of problems should be nipped in the bud. Including Bergman, the Northern Border Security Caucus has four House Republicans from Michigan: Reps. Bill Huizenga, Lisa McClain, and Tim Walberg. The southwestern 4th Congressional District, an area represented by Huizenga in the House since 2011, is a two-hour-and-change drive from Detroit. And a section of the southern Michigan 5th Congressional District, a region represented by Walberg in the House for most of the past 16 years, touches on the U.S.-Canada maritime border.
Cross-border tensions, however, spring up from time to time. Despite so many similarities between the countries, some Canadian political commentators and comedians publicly spend time trying to come up with reasons why they are not like Americans. Or, just as often, why Americans are worse.
