Considering Canada is our #1 trading partner I would think there would be a powerful lobby against that sort of action.

Why - the US has already imposed drastically stricter border controls in the lst ten years despite zero evidence of any security threat coming from this country.  Imagine what you guys would do if you actually had a reason?

Exactly, Those Guys ( @ Grumbler) did drastically increase border security.  It is difficult to imagine what more those guys could do.  ie the horrible hypothetical regarding resticted border access has already occurred.

Who do you think knows better between grumbler and the US government vis-a-vis your citizenship?

But as a voter, surely Valmy is one of those involved in making the rules.

No.  In the US, very few rules are created by voters.  We have legislatures and executives that make the rules, and all voters do is elect the legislators and top executives (who then appoint most of the other executives).  It isn't like ancient Athens or anything.
