The differences are that there is a huge fence along much of the Mexican/U.S. border that literally runs into the Pacific ocean. Other differences is that Mexicans, unlike most Canadians, are not White people, speak a different language, and have a different culture.
For decades, The U.S. government looked the other way as millions from Mexico poured into the U.S. looking for a better life. It was cheap labor under the table, and fine as long as Whites were still the majority. But, when it suddenly became clear that the U.S. is poised to undergo a population shift, it alarmed Whites. From this fact, you can probably figure out why the Mexicans are now hated by many. They represent the fastest and largest minority population in the U.S., and are about to become the majority. That scares the bejesus out of White people because they will no longer have the numbers. That's all it is: fear of the White race losing majority rule, and the fear of losing the Eurocentric culture. Of course, it doesn't help that just about all of the illicit drugs also come from Mexico, Central, and South America.
Now, they don't want Muslims, or anyone from Middle Eastern or West Asian countries because of the fear of terrorism, but terrorism by U.S. born citizens seems to escape them.
As you see, the root cause of all this is fear. The same thing is happening in the U.K. and Europe. This is also the cause of the rise of the far-right fascist groups all over Europe, and now the U.S.. It explains the rise and popularity of Donald Trump, and I assume, the Brexit movement.
For all of Donald Trump's blather, there already is a fence separating Mexico and the U.S.. All you have to do is go on Google Earth and look at it! I can drive down there right now and touch and feel it!
