Mexico shares the southern border of the United States, which gives Mexicans a way to enter the United States. They come here for better jobs or other reasons, and the U.S. politicians do not enforce the Immigration laws, allowing them to remain in the country illegally.

Though the border with Canada is much longer, Canadians are content to stay in Canada. Immigrating to the U.S. illegally from countries other than Mexico or Canada would be much harder, since they would have to fly or boat in.
