Why are we not having trouble with illegal aliens from Canada as much as Mexico?

because Canada has a quality of living that is roughly par with the US, but with socialistic programs designed to care for many of its citizens (but at much higher tax costs). \n\nFrankly, they don't need to come to the US to earn money or recieve better educations and healthcare as they already have it.

I do agree with you and also feel that its quiet frustrating for any American, but have you ever seen a Canadian or a European in a low class or a low level job? Its true that Mexicans get all the attention, its not because they are the neighbors, its because these people sacrifice and work for or in something that many people wouldn't do. If you would Go and check the restaurants or any place you find filth or dirt. you wont find an American or A European or A Canadian doing it...I hope you get the point!!

Because there are not a million mexicans trying to come across from canada illegally every week, use our health care, schools, social services, sing the anthem in spanish and THEN go out in the street and DEMAND to be US citizens after they came here ILLEGALLY. That's why...

No, but to be fair, the number of countries that feel they need a base of operations incase of issues with Canada & Mexico is quite low.

See here's the thing-\nCanadians come down here and find out Canada is better, so they go back. They don't take our jobs, and they don't bring all 700 of thier kids with them either. \n\nAlso, have you ever tried to cross the US/Canada border?? It's really much harder to do that than crossing the US/Mexico border.  Trust me, I live in Texas, and have been to Mexico several times. There's a lot of work that needs to be done to make the southern border as efficient and secure as the Northern border.

I'm not positive, but I doubt illegal immigration is happening anywhere near as much anywhere else as it is in the US. So, it's probably not a huge problem in other countries, but I'm sure they probably have rules and regulations on the issue as well.

Canada has refused to send troops to Iraq (for many reasons). Canada also has many immigrants from the middle east. Canadians are ususally not as endangered in foreign countries because they have not been involved in a war since WW2, so Americans passing as Canadians think they are safer.

Some Nat. Guard on the borders, but probably not enough to make a statement...because Mexico is our friend.  Fines for illegals and worker programs.  You didn't miss much.

We aren't open to attack on our borders.  We have many military installations on the Canadian as well as Mexican borders.  We still have more troops here than in Iraq.

It isn't just the superhighway it is an entire plan to put together a 'North American Alliance' which we know nothing about.  Congressman Tancredo has called for hearings on the plans, which are apparently to allow free passage of goods, services and 'low risk traffic [unlimited immigration??]'.\n\nThere are working groups from each country working on this.  You can find the names of the Canadian working group on their governmental web pages.  However, our own government is much more secretive.\n\nThat sort of idea might work with largely co-equal economies.  We and Canada might be able to make a go of it.  However, if Mexico is added Canada and the US's social services will end up supporting the poor of Mexico, based on looking at current immigration impacts.  That will leave our own people nothing to rely on ourselves.

Actually both borders require seciroty but for different reasons.\n\nThe southern border has thousand of illegal aliens croosing every day.  Most of these are Hispanic from Mexico and other South American countries.  We just can't sustain the influx of immigrants that use our schools, hospiitals, etc, and may not have a job to pay taxes.\n\nIn Canada the influx in immigrtion is Muslims.  The number of Antisemitic attacks has increased over 4 times in the last 2 years alone.\n\nIf the Muslims can get into Canada legally, they can croos our northern border to organizae terroist cells.\n\nTherefore we need to orivude special security on both borders for our protection.

because  canadians have  it  good. their  country  takes  care  of  their   old  people. they   make   good   money.  and  they   guard  their   borders  like   fort  knox.  our  goverment  could  learn  a  lot   from  them. we  have   americans buying  prescription  drugs  from  there, because  the  drug   companies  here  rip  people  off. i  bet   theres  not  millions of  illegals  living  there.

The answer could be answered in many ways. First, that whole area belonged to mexico at one time, and the big guns came over and took it by force, just as they did to the American indians. Remember, Canadians could come into the U.S. as they wish, and so can we enter Canada as we wish. I don't see why Mexicans can't come into this country to work those jobs that Americans won't do, because this administration, as well as past ones, have outsourced miilions of jobs to other countries, like China- a communist nation that has vowed to overtake us in the future. And the list goes on and on. So there is no quick solution to this problem, as long as we have governmment that cannot govern, and people that were once immigrants themselves, opposing the rights of other people to live a better life....KECK

Legal imigration where the host contry knows who is entering the country is a positive. The problem in the US is we have way to many people comming from mexico and canada to the united states and willing to work for pennies an hour. Then, high tail it back to mexico/canada to spend it. \n\nPlus, if you remember something know as 9/11. Many of the terrorists entered from CANADA.

Look around you; who "runs" this country?  Mexicans clean, they build, they repair, they cook, they serve, they do the gardening, they pick up the trash, they work in the factories - they are an integral part of our society whether you want to admit it or not.\nThe thing is, like one other person stated, it is an "immigration" thing not Mexican....what about all the South Americans, all the Asians, all the Canadians, Russions, Iranians, Indians, that are here with expired work permits, getting free or low interest business loans to own their own business, have a better opportunity than some of us citizens to drive around in Mercedes, Porches, Bentley,s, etc.  \nIn essence, we need to concentrate on ALL illegals, close ALL the borders til we can get some of this mess straigtened out.

Here, here!! I mean yeah there are some pretty F'ed up things about this country but we still have PLENTY of advantages over other countries. It cant be that bad & if it is, BYE!!! Mexico is right across the border!

Well, I think it could go both ways.  They are actually not too bad for the United States, contrary to popular belief.  They are one of the minority groups that are the hardest working and least compensated.  \n\nIn my opinion, those that actually make the attempt to reach the US are those that are searching for a better life and are willing to work hard to achieve it.  In that case, it is negative for Mexico, because they are losing potentially good citizens.  (Contrary to your provided article.)\n\nSeems like we just need to come up with more accessible ways of getting here legally...
