I Have never really thought about that before.  I have a friend that grew up in North Dakota, he said there was like a tiny fence that you could just step over and go into Canada.  

 

He said they did that to get beer.

 

But, do Canadians try to sneak into America?  Do Americans try sneaking into Canada (well, for reasons other than getting beer when you are not yet 21)

Yes.

The Urban Institute estimates there are about 250,000 undocumented immigrants from China and between 65,000 and 75,000 from Canada in the United States.

Only the southern one has over 500,000 people annually trying to sneak through it.  It’s an interesting point of note!

The most commonly cited and widely documented unintended consequence of increased border enforcement is longer migration spells and reduced circularity. In the US, border enforcement as measured by US Border Patrol linewatch hours has a significant negative effect on migrant outflows to Mexico, as well as inflows, which implies that tougher enforcement increases the duration of stay by deterring return migration. That encourages more permanent settlement among unauthorized immigrants from Mexico [9].

Quote

The principal substantive finding of our analysis is that border enforcement was not an efficacious strategy for controlling Mexican immigration to the United States, to say the least. Indeed, it backfired by cutting off a long-standing tradition of migratory circulation and promoting the large-scale settlement of undocumented migrants who otherwise would have continued moving back and forth across the border.

 

Yeah, wonder why we have so many attempts at illegal crossings.

My favorite thing about Canada is that they interrogate John Green every time he enters because he got denied access once when he was younger for insufficient funds.

[teachercd]

I have never viewed immigration as a problem.

They are not long enough for a nap!

 

But, they are great on Edpuzzle where other teachers (good ones) have created questions that go along with it!

So the answer to border security and cutting illegal crossings is less security   That’s funny.

You could read further into their hypothesis and data backing the idea.

Reuters—March 2021

 

On Wednesday, Senate Republicans also sought unanimous consent for initiatives that would increase protections for children, tighten rules for asylum seekers, subject migrants accused of violent crimes to detention and require DNA tests for undocumented adults claiming to be related to migrant children.

 

 

So, nothing that would reform immigration to make it easier for people to immigrate to the US legally.  Got it.

Is making immigration easier the goal?  Or is making it an orderly safe and secure process the goal?   Glad you got it as I was worried for a brief moment.
