Yeah, because it turns out you can't just waltz over the border to Canada and expect to be greeted with open arms as we do in the US.

I assume you're American and have had no experience with the US immigration system? Because they definitely do not do that in the US.

"Waltz over the border" implies illegal immigration. Which we kinda have a soft spot for in US.

I would wager it's easier to waltz over the US-Canada border than the US-Mexico border if you were so inclined.

Getting across the border is the easy part - getting healthcare, a drivers license, a job etc would be the hard part. Those are much easier to pull off sneaking in to the US than Canada.

You can do it accidentally in a few towns and I've crossed the US-CA border into the states before where we had to wake up the border guard.

There are many places in Washington state where one can walk (or dance) into Canada. Rather un-guarded border.

TN-1 NAFTA visas pretty much work that way... for as long as NAFTA exists...

As a TN-1 holder, I'm terrified.
