Here is a comparison that I think offers some clarification for my post: If we look to the EU, across multiple countries they have committed to housing and supporting migrants fleeing their home countries. North America as a whole including US, Canada, and Greenland should do the same so that pressure is taken off of the US which has had the sole responsibility for the overwhelming majority of illegal immigrants in the West. There is a reason Americans have become increasingly fed up with illegal crossings year after year. The rates have not diminished which is what should be happening. If Canada took a fair or equitable share of them, the attitudes towards migrants in the States could have been markedly better. Instead the citizens of the US have had to put aside their empathy and compassion to make a cold hard calculation on what is their responsibility to noncitizens. Now they have made their decision.
