On the other hand, he wasn't Muslim.

Everybody's all focused on the Mexican border right now, but I think maybe the northern border could use some tightening.

On April 25, Gregory Despres arrived at the U.S.-Canadian border crossing at Calais, Maine, carrying a homemade sword, a hatchet, a knife, brass knuckles and a chain saw stained with what appeared to be blood. U.S. customs agents confiscated the weapons and fingerprinted Despres. Then they let him into the United States.

The following day, a gruesome scene was discovered in Despres' hometown of Minto, New Brunswick: The decapitated body of a 74-year-old country musician named Frederick Fulton was found on Fulton's kitchen floor. His head was in a pillowcase under a kitchen table. His common-law wife was discovered stabbed to death in a bedroom.

Okay, now I can understand how a border patrol guard might go, "Hmm, sword, hatchet, knife, brass knuckles, and a blood-stained chainsaw. Sure, come on in. Just stay out of trouble, hear?" I mean, we all have bad days at work. But if the collection of bloody weapons wasn't sufficient to raise an alarm, shouldn't the fact that the guy looks like this have been enough?
