It is completely and totally impossible to enforce the US/Canadian border because of the waterways. You can't have border patrol at every dock along the entire Great Lakes. I live about 2 miles from Lake Erie though and after 9/11, they implemented some checkpoints/roadblocks, where they checked each person for citizenship/immigration papers. I had to stop driving along that route because I couldn't be stopped every time I had to run to the store or take the kids to school. It was pretty ridiculous. These checkpoints were also advertised on the news, so people knew to avoid them, including those who were smuggling people into the country.

I live right off Lake St. Clair and there are always Coast Gaurd boats and helicopters patrolling the area.
I've never seen a checkpoint in this area, they sound like a hassel.
