Why do we stop mexican immigration ( and work visas) so adamantly , but allow canadians access to the U.S.?

Question

Both countries seem to welcome United States citizens.

Answer 1

Well Dale got the first one right ....

Answer 2

Don't get me started! I have been separated from my husband for over a year trying to adjust his status while our President wants to give a free ride to those who are here illegally. Nobody is too concerned about building a wall on our northern border, yet there are many nationalities, not Canadian citizens, who live there and can cross over quite easily. The wall idea is ridiculous wherever it is proposed. The INS is so overburdened and understaffed that President Bush ought to start problem solving with this organization. There are many people who have been separated from loved ones for years waiting for their cases to be heard and nobody is fighting for them. I would be interested to hear from others working on adjusting their status and how long they have waited.

Answer 3

1. The number of Canadians who stay and take jobs is much less. Also..they enter legally through border crossings.
2. Canadians do not have a negative economic impact on states and local services.
3. Canadians (most) speak English
4. Canadians do not bring their flags along to display at every chance.
5. Canadians do not feel they still own a portion of the U..S.
6. Our prisons are not full of Canadians

We in turn do not migrate by the millions to either Canada or Mexico and do not have a negative impact on their economy.

Answer 4

How many Canadians do you see roofing houses and putting life-long construction people out of work?

Do Canadians live twenty five to an apartment and demand you learn to speak their language?

Answer 5

Because Mexicans are taking over the U.S. which i think is good I would love to see a mexican president in the U.S.

Answer 6

Hell, let's ban the Canadians too!
