    Border irregularities and no touching zone. I dont really have any further comments but wanted to throw out some verbiage to prove I watched

    Why in this day and age we cant fix something like this and make it simplified? Oh yeah, because government is made of of educated idiots...

    Is it really that hard to get together and decide to trade tit for tat on land. The people who dont want to switch from one side or the other can be grandfathered in for x number of years and they whole boarder thing can be set to take place in x number of years from now and change over a 10yr lifespan giving plenty of time for people to decide what to do. Maybe even some assistance for some people?

    I'm sure something could be worked out simply except there are to many egos at stake and the rule of thumb with most governments is if it's broke then just throw more money at it.

    This reminded me of that one movie with John Candy, where they invade Canada at night to put litter into their park...And then spray paint mean words on the side of a dump truck, and get pulled over by a Mountie who makes them correct the spelling on one of the curse words..Lolll
