I suppose if someone is looking at being a company employee, making $85k a year, living on a TN1 and chooses to believe the "employer based health care" fallacy maybe Houston could look more attractive than living in Brooks and making $60k working for the same company. If instead this person owned a corporation and paid themselves a salary enough that it doesn't really matter so much if they pay $4 or $12 for a bottle of Yellow Tail and a cheeseburger it's a different discussion. Anyone who is on a TN1 is employed by someone else and cannot make full use of the available deductions a self employed, corporation owning permanent resident or citizen has.
I encourage foreign people who live and love it in the United States to get naturalized. Take the oath and mean it: "I absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty of whom or which I have heretofore been a subject or citizen" etc etc
