I think this says it in a nutshell, (I'll paraphrase since I didn't bother to copy and past). " you wouldn't want a Canadian stealing an American job from a Mexican..."
i believe it works both ways — i had a memorable experience receiving a similar sentiment from Canada; traveling from Maine into Quebec in 1981, i hitchhiked up 201, got a ride with a Canadian man and turned his routine border crossing into a 90-minute interrogation & search ... i was barefoot and had only a student ID; i was told $400 in traveler's checks wasn't enough for my planned 21 day crossing to Vancouver, and Canada didn't want another homeless youth on its streets ... but i stuck to my story and somehow i was eventually let through; i am ever grateful to my ride — he stuck around and put up with a few indignities himself, and finally dropped me in Quebec City that night
(i boarded a ferry to leave Victoria more or less on schedule; have since entered Canada many times without trouble)
