My main complaint is that he is orange. Really my only complaint. He looks pretty normal in person though.

(and the canadian border is way more porous)

The north and south borders can't accurately be compared. In the south the US is trying to keep people out. In the north they are trying to keep people in. About the only illegal thing that crosses south is weed.
Illegal immigrants, gun smugglers, and hard drugs all cross north.

I do agree with your view on a wall, just nit-picking.

we have a very stringent immigration process

I don't think many people have an issue with legal, regular immigration.
It seems to be the ones that bypass the requirements by being a 'refugee' or just crossing illegally, that are getting people upset.
It doesn't really matter how stringent the process is when it is easy to bypass.

the current threat from the north may not be the same but its canada that lets in all the refugees. it takes 2 years from applications to landing in the US as a refugee, my italian friend managed it in just over a year. i don't know why people seem to think its so easy to get in as a refugee.

No, you've got it backwards. The refugees that we intentionally bring in stay here. They don't try to go south.
Illegals get into Canada through the US because the US is much easier to get into.
Recently many have been using BS refugee or asylum applications to get into the US. They eventually get rejected by the US system, but by then the immigrant has already moved to a sanctuary, or run the border into Canada.

Getting into the US, if you don't care about laws, or are willing to manipulate them, is very simple and is big business.

ehhh, i think it depends on where they are coming from. its easy for latin americans but its harder to cross the ocean without approval and without anybody noticing and putting you on the next trip back.
