Is it true Canada and the US share the longest undefended border in the world?

There are many reasons--
Racism.
Economics (Canada has a fairly good economy, Mexico has a poverty problem).
History and language (Most Canadians speak English)
Geography. There are natural borders for most of the densely populated areas between the US and Canada. There are few natural boundaries between the US and Mexico (you can walk across the Rio Grande).
Birth Rate (Mexico has a high birth rate, Canada does not).
Education and culture (Most Canadians are well educated, Mexicans are often not).
The reason the US and Canada border is not fenced is that Canada is mainly our strongest ally; and like previously stated, their economy is good, so there is not really such reason to migrate illegally to the US; Mexico's economy is not as good, and some migrate illegally to other countries for a better life, for example the US. (There are lots of rich people in Mexico and Mexico's economy isnt horrible, but it is not as well as the US economy, and as previously stated Mexico has some poverty, and people in poverty are mainly the people who migrate illegally, for a better life.)

∙ 11y agoThe number of troops sitting on the American side of what they claim is an undefended border. Many border crossings have hundreds of SWAT trained paramilitary personnel with hundreds more monitoring, patrolling, even using predator drones to secure a border they claim is the longest undefended border in the world.
Canada meanwhile has unarmed civil servants ready to crush any entrance attempt with reams of paperwork, fees, taxes, and duties.

∙ 12y agoIts called that because there are a lot of places where you can just walk from a part of Canada into the us visa versa. There is no fence like with Mexico and the us. Its unguarded in a lot of places.
