Canada and south america needs us way more than we need them. The US is in a very unique and advtanagous position - we can crush most of the rest of the world, especially the powerless countries with minimal foreign blowback due to our control of most of the world economy and international finance systems, not to mention overwhelming military superiority. You think Canada will enact sanctions against us for crushing Mexico? We could pulverize the Canadian economy.  The fact is this is all theoretical - I guarantee the Meican government will pay up pretty quickly once we cripple their economy and perhaps even replace some of their leadership. Yes, it would cost us money to do it, but we'd just charge the Mexicans for that too - in the end they'll pay whatever we want because we could turn their economy in to a stone age trading system. It's not wrong - it's simply an incentive for them to do what Trump wants them to do.

 

First, no. You can't pulverize Canadian or Mexican economy. World consist of more country than US and even the allies of US won't follow US on the policies without gaining something significant thanks to how 'trustworthy' US acted for last 12 years. I know US citizens think that other countries can't live without them, but times have changed.

Sanction from either side is absurd, as it will go directly against their Free Trade agreement Trans-Pacific Partnership. That includes Mexico, so US can't sanction Mexico without reason either way. Changing their leader directly is a good way to start War and lose allies over sea. EU is already keeping a distance from US at the moment, countires in Asia no longer listens to US with mess they made, and Canada always had multiple strings with other countries.

Also, at the moment, illiegal Mexican immigration is net zero or less. [1] Building wall is waste of money.

Once you kick out 12 million Mexicans ou're going to need a wall to keep them out. And we can do whatever we want. Our economic and military might still holds the world hostage. Canada cannot survive without America and Europe isn't going to do anything because we're kick the crap out of Mexico. The US can break any agreement it wants, it has broken many before on climate change, on war crimes and more - nobody can hold us accountable because we're too strong to be held accountable, just like the big banks were too large to fail. That's what we are on a global level.
