Protecting Trump’s enemies from prosecution just reinforces the idea of politics as retribution. Instead, Democrats should be defending his most vulnerable targets.

      Not poor enough to want to hop across the border and work less than minimum US wages, no. Did you eat food within the last 24 hours? Do you have a bed to sleep on and a roof over your head?

      You must have some device to access the internet, so that is already an incredibly vital resource that millions lack. And Canada’s not exactly rife with violent crime, what would you be running from?

      Every country has problems, but not every country’s problems are proportionate. Mexico’s poverty rate is over 3 times as high as Canada’s and applies to 4 times as many people, and Mexico is still better off than most of Latin America.

      I mean, there are even many people in the US who see Canada as a sort of promised land of universal healthcare and better human rights. Grass is always greener, I guess.
