  1. Better life in the US? They’re leaving Canada. One of the best countries you can possibly hope to live in. Even as more people in one report, were found to have moved from the US into Mexico than from Mexico into the US. There is more than that going on here. I think there are human traffickers involved here.

  2. Life in the US isn’t as bad as India or the Congos. At the same time, why would anyone need to flee Canada? Why is the United States the only destination for these so called opportunities?

  3. Be hilarious if Canada did this on purpose so the wall can keep Americans out later on and Canada doesn’t even have to construct it.

  4.  @aycc-nbh7289  I looked at the salaries and they are about the same. Average in the US is slightly higher, but it is no different for median salary which you should prefer to use as the wealth inequality in the US is extremely high and it isn't like the very people in need of having to sneak across borders are going to be extremely educated. I can imagine people in the Vancouver area moving south across the border for cheaper living and simply making commutes back and forth similar to what people do in Tijuana and San Diego.

  6.  @mrtee3477  A huge chunk of the US's weather is absolutely atrocious. We get more tornadoes than any other nation on earth.

  7.  @seanthe100  At the same time, it is Canada. The Canadians are largely coming over legally and are not any type of refugee. You will have your meals in Canada. You will have a place to live. Even healthcare (which they don't in the US). You have plenty of other opportunities on top of that like education. Even if it were less desirable, why would anyone really need to flee with all of this? Especially when the US and Canada are great friends and with proper work done, they would likely get into the US legally and avoid all of this unnecessary trouble. Is there some kind of ice hockey war there we don't know about?
