Meteors don't have a launch signature and travel much, much faster than ballistic missiles.
If meteorites (high iron content) falling from space, still impact the ground within the United States, then how effective do you believe the 'technology' is?

Fairly. But it wouldn't matter when the dust settled. It only takes a few.
how effective a shield would a few thousand ship borne missiles be?

I don't think Russia is the main nuclear threat. Do you?
I have to imagine there is a system in place that could not only being down any nuclear warheads headed towards us, but even destroy them seconds after they are launched

How do you know?
The USA has no defence for ICBM's.

No one has an effective defence system against ICBM's, they're travelling at 16,000 mph.
Nuclear warheads headed towards the USA aren't coming from Canada or Mexico, they would be ICBM's from Russia or China.
