You're saying that the entire 3000+ mile border between the US and Canada is entirely unnavigable by foot? OK, that's ridiculous - you're making assertions that are unfounded. I'm sure you haven't been along the entire length of the border. My assumption that it is possible to traverse the border in an unattended area somewhere is far more plausible than your assumption that it's not.

The please show this so-called documentation, just don't make assertions
about it. Just saying its so doesn't make it true.
I take it you've never been to the border, yes there are areas where it is
difficult to patrol, for very good reason, its swamp and rock. Its not
something where you can just stroll through. Even the locals in these
places would not try to go through the areas. I know I spent a lot of time
as a kid in northwestern Ontario very close to the border. It went through
areas where you don't want to go through, unless you have no qualms about
being up to your neck in swamp and bog.
