Winter is 10 months long, and their strippers are flat out disgusting.
More seriously, it's because the economic opportunities America affords to someone like me who is equipped to succeed in a capitalist meritocracy. Socialism doesn't suit me.

Easier still as I actually hold dual citizenship with Canada. But your premise is wrong. Those enticing things are NOT equally enticing to me. I guess I could have phrased my statement better and said "If I was a poor mexican stuck in a corrupt country with little opportunity...."
Despite the crime and corruption, Mexico isn't exactly a 3rd world country. They have businesses, and CEO's, and accountants, and lawyers, all of whom are pretty happy right where they are. We're not talking about them. We're talking about people who are so disadvantaged that they are willing to take the risk of illegal immigration. A wall is just another obstacle. It's not a barrier.
