The border is a line. If you can cross one spot easy from one side, it's the exact same coming from the other direction. It's not like there's a wall then a couple miles and then another wall and each country is responsible for protecting their own wall.

Or are you considering which country it is easier to go unnoticed as an illegal immigrant?

That.

I work produce, and we don't have much shit from Mexico. What does that have to do with anything? I'm not sure what point you're trying to make.

Which is just a wash because of how easy it is to get into either

You obviously haven't tried to do it in a car. I can drive into Mexico without blinking. I can take a nap while waiting in line trying to get back into the US.

All I can find is that Canadians don't even really know

They don't really know. Neither does America. That's why it's an estimation.

The majority of produce that comes out of California is grown and harvested by illegal Mexicans.

Okay, and? That justifies them not paying taxes or contributing to society?

Edit: Let me rephrase. Their work is obviously a contribution to society, but beyond that they are exempt from the same things that all legal citizens are not, which is not a good thing.

Now that it's established that according to all the available information we have it's harder to get into Canada than the United States can we start taking the discussion more seriously rather than screaming racist, white or nationalist like you have the most liberal case of tourette syndrome known to man?

At this point it is what it is though. They do the work that most Americans couldn't be bothered with. And you and I benefit from it. Want to "fix it? Our economy will suffer, prices will sore, some companies might go out of business, healthcare costs will go up even more, etc.

A lot of needlessly scared Americans will sleep better at night but will also bitch like crazy when their tomato prices go up 150% as a result.

That's bull****. They don't do the work most Americans couldn't be bothered with. There are tons of Americans looking for jobs that would love to take ANYTHING they could.
