What about the Canadian Border? Why don't they make a huge wall up there? I'm sure there are lots of people that get in thru Canada, I mean, people manage to bring cheaper meds from there with no problem, right?

The reason the security is going to be tighter only on the Mexican border is because that is where the vast majority of the problem is. There is very little illegal immigration into the US from Canada, mainly because Canada has the same wealth and standard of living as the US. Also, getting into Canada used to be pretty easy (still is if your an American citizen), but ever since 9/11 the immigration security has gotten quite a bit tighter.
There is actually alot of talk about integrating the US-Canadian border security even more, so US-Canadian citizens can travel easily between the 2 countries, while keeping illegals and terrorists out of both. I have lived in both countries, and I'm sure that if it became a problem at the US-Canada border...both sides would try to tighten it up pretty quick, considering how big it is.
