Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Historically, the U.S. has concentrated more on securing its southern border with Mexico than its northern border with Canada, leading to a significantly higher number of border guards on the U.S.-Mexico border compared to the U.S.-Canada border. This is due to various factors, including illegal immigration, drug trafficking, and other security concerns primarily associated with the southern border.
