I recently crossed the Canadian border with two of my quadruplets in a GMC Suburban. The U.S. was checking outgoing cars before the Canadians did. The U.S. border guard reached into my car and pushed the button to lower the back seat window where my boys were strapped in. I was a little upset. He then asked me if I were carrying weapons or had bombs on board. I said no. There was no check of the back, which was filled with medical supplies and boxes. The Canadians were easier. The female border guard looked in my car and one of my son's told her he was a very, very good boy. She shot the breeze with the boys for 5 minutes and let us through. Two days later, I returned in a Chevy Van with three of the quads. Again the car was full of boxes and luggage. I had the birth certificates of the boys so again the border guard was thrilled to talk to quads. No checks, no bombs. Closing the Canadian border is not an option. If Canada has terrorist they will get into the U.S. Let's hope our Canadian Ambassador, the former governor of Massatwoshits doesn't screw that relationship up.
