You could meet friends, children, and relatives at the gate or see them off at the gate. Parents could actually put children on the plane and grandparents could take them off."

In what has become an increasingly regular mission, Canadian representatives visited the U.S this week to warn immigrants fearful over President Trump's immigration crackdown that they can't simply rush north of the border to find safe haven.
"Canadians are broadly supportive of immigration," Radchenko said. "But Canadians truly believe in order and well-managed immigration."

On a per capita basis, that's approximately 1 refugee per 777 Canadians, and 1 refugee per 3,800 Americans.
I know numbers don't tell the full story, but based on the numbers, Canada is trying 5 times as hard to make room for those who are fleeing from oppression or destitution.

Okay...
My premise is not whether the United States is more accommodating to refugees. My premise is that Canada, like the US (and, as far as I can tell, various European countries), also has immigration laws that it enforces by kicking illegal immigrants out of the country.

There were some African guys that walked across from the US (Minnesota I think) in the winter and lost fingers and ears to frost bite. US wouldn't take them, we did.

Good for you. The US also takes refugees and many more immigrants than Canada. Both the US and Canada have immigration laws. Both the US and Canada enforce immigration laws. If the only reason the US is no longer the land of the free is because of the rhetoric (not actions because other presidents have done the same thing) of the current president, then singling out the US is stupid.

Per capita, Canada has a higher rate of immigration than the US- in fact, more than double.

You're not wrong, TGD, but you may only have half of the story.
