Also, the US takes in millions of immigrants each year, and if they would change their visa laws, they could take in even more. Most of those immigrants are not white, though some may have money. I'd imagine not all of them do.
So something doesn't jive here. For a country that you say is inherently racist and apparently hateful towards poor people, there sure is a long list of people trying to get there.

The huge difference between Canada and the US is Canada would happily solve its racial problems in a heart beat, we have a legacy of inequality and social issues we haven't been able to correct but there is a willingness to solve them, the US is more than happy with it's inequality, proud of it frankly.
