The Ambrose, N.D., Port of Entry Had Zero Admissions in February
But is staffed eight hours a day, seven days a week
By David North on April 26, 2021

As an extreme example of the waste of money and skilled personnel on the northern border during February, not a single person was inspected at the Ambrose, N.D., port of entry, yet the port was staffed eight hours a day, seven days a week.

Was a single inspector on duty for those 28 days, or were there two of them? That’s a question that Homeland Security will not answer on the laughable grounds of “national security”.

In 14 other ports, there were fewer than two inspections a day, on average, during January, February, and March. The locations (moving from east to west) included one in Minnesota, six in North Dakota, five in Montana, and three in Washington State. In several other ports, the number of persons inspected fell below 60 in one or two months, but they had more than that in another month. Had we used a slightly looser definition, the list of near-empty ports would have been substantially longer.

This suggests to me Canadians have respect for the law while people invading from the south don't.

It ain't all Canadians coming through.

Yep. Send them boys up the North Fork of the Flathead back home.

Used to be we could just wander right over into Canada... Right on through the border stop. Now a feller has to go all round-about to get it done.

Because these ports are manned, perhaps there are fewer crossings.
Strip the borders of controls, and open floodgates.

Keep in mind these outposts cover much of well over 1000 miles of border from the Idaho border to the Red River of the North (Minnesota/ND border).

There used to quite a bit be more traffic, but it has been affected by the low relative value of the Canadian dollar compared to the US dollar, tighter restrictions on past criminal behaviour, and the higher (oil boom) prices in the border oil towns, and Canadians just don't come down to play like they used to when the CAD and USD were nearly at par. 

Add in COVID, and last year's numbers will really seem small.
