THE Canadian Border Services recently raided a construction site in Vancouver to round up alleged illegal immigrants suspected of working there. A film crew went with them, recording the detentions for a reality TV show named Border Security. The reality-show aspect has outraged many, who believe the detainees were exploited for entertainment and not for Canadian welfare. An online petition asking National Geographic to cancel the program has collected more than 20,000 signatures. Find us on Facebook and Twitter and tell us what you think. - Sam Smith

Patricia Brooksbank, North Vancouver: "I guess. I don't know. I hadn't really heard about it. I don't have strong feelings one way or another."
Norbert Bulling, North Vancouver: "I have mixed feelings about this, but to hell with it, they're here illegally and they shouldn't be."
Barb Jennings, Whistler/North Vancouver: "I don't see why not. My opinion is if you're here illegally, then you don't have any rights."
Fran Hodgkinson, North Vancouver: "I don't know. I've been thinking about this for two days now. But if people are here illegally and they know they're here illegally, then it's too bad."
