It's economically better for everyone. We all depend on cross border trade. The border just makes that trade more expensive. Also, freedom of movement across all of North America would be beneficial to all. The list goes on and on.
Politically they're not so different either.....they have 50% blue state/red state. If Canada joined "blue" states would be the majority.
