DHS’s strategy for the Northern border is built on the premise that security and lawful trade and travel are mutually reinforcing. Separating higher risk traffic from lower risk traffic, utilising advance information, and inspecting people and goods bound for our shared borders at the earliest opportunity enables officials on both sides to expedite the processing of lawful travel and trade while preventing illegal crossings and activities, as well as diseases and dangerous goods from entering either country.

Bolding mine.
I forsee more FUBAR. expediting the inspection of people and goods at the earliest opportunity simply means moving the border inspections another 500 miles south. Doesn't matter if you're going across town in Lexington, KY to get a slurpee; you'll be required to state your citizenship to the CBP

This is all about each of the countries learning more about those that may be in the country or its citizens, and taking the opportunity to share that information with the other country.
But, my favorite paragraph is this one [bold mine]:
That is 20 called out goals. That will take a lot of monitoring and control.
And, just exactly what do they do to "ensure community resiliency?"

It identifies three key goals for the Northern border. Firstly deterring and preventing terrorism and smuggling, trafficking, and illegal immigration; safeguarding and encouraging the efficient flow of lawful trade, travel, and immigration; and ensuring community resiliency before, during, and after terrorist attacks and other disasters.

They really buy into the myth of huge numbers of terrorists crossing US-Canada (shared) border?
They would do everyone a whole lot more good if they were to stop peddling fear about terrorists and became pedestrian crossing guards protecting pedestrians around a school or shopping area.
