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.
Yes, but why would we go illegally for this? We can already go to the US with just a passport for up to 6 months.
This has been debated for years, but the idea isn't very popular among Canadians or Americans. Less than 10 years ago, we didn't even need a passport to cross the border. Now, there's actual thought to building a wall along it?

Well, I did say the amount of people going to the US from Canada illegally is probably negligible. It's probably like ten per year at most, let's be real. Some Americans just like to get off to isolationist policies like walls.

Well in that sense, they can pay for it. They want a wall, America can pay to build it.
