Why do so many Canadians in Ottawa seem so obsessed with AMERICA when it comes to Canadian policy on immigration?

Think about it:

1. US President favours anti-Dreamer policy, WHAM, suddenly Canadians in Ottawa jump in the fray and insist Canada must take them.

2. US President favours restrictions on migrants from certain countries, WHAM, suddenly Canadians jump in the fray and insist Canada must take them.

3. US President favours restrictions on migrants from certain countries, WHAM, Trudeau sits on his hands for months as Canada faces a flood, into Manitoba, of migrants unlawfully pouring through the border en masse.

Why do so many have a poodle-like reflex, that whenever Uncle Sam chooses a migrant policy, WHAM, they suddenly demand Canada MUST take up a yoke to counterbalance Uncle Sam?

It's bizarre. There are HUNDREDS OF COUNTRIES with migrant policies. Why be a reflexive poodle ONLY to Americans? Is it to feel superior and smug specifically to them?
