What do you mean "allow / enable"? Is the U.S. government so short on citizens that they have taken to hiring Canadian and Mexican custom and immigration officers at their ports of entry? Is that how Canada and Mexico are subverting and harming the U.S.?I live near the border and not once (as a dual) have I been stopped by the Canadian side before presenting myself to the U.S. side (and vice versa), so what is all this “allowed / enabled” accusation? Is Canada supposed to supply the U.S. side with training for detection of terrorists and criminals? with drug-sniffing dogs? with border patrols to prevent people from entering the U.S.? How utterly bizarre to listen to Ms Leavitt allege that Canada's offence is to “allow” illicit drugs and illegals into the U.S. How much is allegedly sourced from Canada? And how much from some of your own U.S. diplomats, CiA, et al. who bring in drugs by the pouch, body bag, and planeload, or are grown / produced on your own soil ? How many criminals and terrorists have waltzed past your airport customs and immigration officers with false or special exemption documents because they were on (secret) USian assignment? There are more USian exposés than time to read them all, shelved under “conspiracy theory” so people ignore or mock them until time and declassification prove them true. Many of these exposés are written by U.S. insiders and patriots with integrity. Many know first hand of U.S. government corruption, crime, and bullying and are distressed by the sense of entitlement, injustice, and violation of Constitution.
Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt Briefs Members of the Media, Jan. 31, 2025

(see at min. mark 14:40: "The president will be implementing tomorrow [25 % tariffs on Mexico and Canada ...] for the illegal fentanyl that they have sourced and allowed to distribute into our country which has killed tens of millions of Americans ..." & at 20:00: "The tariffs are incoming tomorrow on Canada and the reason for that is because both Canada and Mexico have allowed an unprecedented invasion of illegal fentanyl that is killing American citizens and also illegal immigrants into our country. ... Canada Mexico, and China ... have all enabled illegal drugs to pour into America ...")
Of course, there are millions of great U.S. citizens, but so far, most have allowed / enabled crime and corruption to flourish by pretending it doesn't exist except in the opposing red or blue "team." Unfortunately the same applies to Canada. Our lax enforcement has allowed crime and corruption to flourish, too. We need to clean our Canadian house to be a better neighbour, just as the U.S. does.
So yes, there are undoubtedly “bad guys” in Canada that USians don’t want, just as there are “bad guys” in the U.S. that Canada and Mexico don’t want, but allowing or denying entry to the U.S. is the sole responsibility of U.S. officials.
I had some great hopes that the massive gas-lighting of Biden’s press secretary would be over, but it seems not. Maybe Leavitt is not as transparently egregious, but perhaps more dangerous with the brazen confidence of casting blame (a favored tool of gas-lighters) in with a potpourri of truth, reason, and consequence.
Let us open our eyes and ears, my fellow USians and Canadians: the U.S. is solely responsible for who or what they let into their country. Neither Canada, Mexico, nor China can dictate terms of U.S. entry. We are to protect (and clean up) our side of the border, they, to protect (and clean up) their side, This victim mentality and gas-lighting by this superpower in this border matter is astonishing.
Four final words: God help us all.
