Maybe the US should consider that traffickers, terrorists, and narcotics are a home grown problem of their own making.

Bite your tongue! Don't you know that it's always the "other", the "outsider". /s

I don't understand why Indians who are in Canada legally as TFW, SPs or visitors want to enter the US illegally.

I think the worry is that once the US hardens its southern border, the soft northern border will take its place as the best means to smuggle goods, drugs and people illegally into the US.

The US will be expecting Canada to join them on creating a fortress North America (ex. Mexico), where none shall pass unless invited. Something akin to NORAD but for defending the continent against traffickers, terrorists and narcotics.

Not sure why you do not understand the attraction of the US to Canadians, people legally in Canada and others. Though it certainly has MANY problems (including its new President) it is probably easier to 'succeed' there than here. Lots of Canadians enter US illegally, or enter legally and fail to leave as entry is easy!

A fair point. And if they would curb their appetite for sexual/labour exploitation and drugs, plus stop meddling in other countries affairs they would have a lot less of all three.

The marketing by the wealthy that America is a place where success is attainable has been a great campaign. Even Americans believe, that if they work hard, they too will become millionaires. Which is why they are reluctant to tax them, and happy to trade their lives away chasing that promise.
