(Meaning international refugees wanting to claim asylum in the US instead of Canada. Legal immigration is quite a bit higher.)

US import trade deficit with Canada is only 9 % of US exports. It's 26 % with the world, 33% with Mexico and 129% with China.

The contrast is stark.
Canada is not the problem.
