Why do Canadians go to the US?

Lots go because that "excellent" health care Canadians like to brag about is decades behind the US. Even stuff taken for granted as medical care in the US like heart surgery, breast cancer treatment, or delivering twins has seen people flying into the US to get treatment. Most of the time it's medical tourism (one of the Newfoundland PMs got heart surgery in the US and returned to Canada) but if it's a prolonged thing, some Canadians choose to stay in the US. That's what my father had to do, because the treatment for his heart defect just wasn't available in Canada. Still isn't, actually.
Also, they might just like the culture.
Most of the time it's legal immigration anyway, so that wall would be pointless. Canadians probably make up 0.001% of the entire undocumented immigrant population. Quite negligible.
