    Simple my dear Watson:

    Among many others...

    --Canadians come down here to spend their money so when they come they improve our economy and do not come to enjoy our tax money, taxes that they do not pay.

    --Canadians that come down here are educated, civilized, and ...*respectful*

    --Canadians do not come down here to put their herd of children in our schools while they are NOT paying state or federal taxes

    --Canadians do not come down here to "overflow" and "deplete" our health system especially by breeding like rabbits while the tax payers are the ones paying their hospital delivery bills, plus all their other medical bills

    --Canadians do not come down here to steal IDs and causing us all kind of problems to us.

    AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST.....

    --How many times have you seen Canadians protesting in our streets with the Canadian flag, *demanding* the rights that they are not paying for??

    Okay, I just need to add some input here. Some answers here are very ignorant and are untrue. Like 'mexicans are selfish and want everything handed to them'. That's false I know many Mexicans and they are typically unlazy. Actually, I believe they work much harder than Americans and it's the other way around.

    And the media exaggerates what happens in Mexico. It's just for ratings and only happens in a few areas of the country. America's addiction fuels the cartels in Mexico. The US is a country of drug addicts that give cartels the money they need to buy weapons to slaughter people.

    Those answers are from keyboard warriors who have run out of things to do.

    The difference is people generally don't see Canadians as a "problem". They view Mexico as the "problem" because of the drug war. If the US keeps treating Mexico any lesser than an ally, then Mexico will turn to China and the two will join forces against the US. And Mexico is under America which China would use to its advantage.

    Canada likes their citizens while Mexico attempts to send all the people in their third world country that they consider the scum of the earth into the US!

    The difference is pretty obvious. There is no North American Union being planned.

    That's because Canadians are civilized, and can find honest ways to make money besides smuggling humans, babies, disease, and drugs into the US and money out of it.
