I guess it wouldn't do any good to skip off to Canada because _they'd_

No way ! In ww1 a government got booted for trying that and even in
WW11 they didn't dare institute a full draft. Mind you we do have Corel
and a few others wwho haven't moved south yet.
"Give us your tired,your poor, your huddled masses etc." that the US
rejects. We'll take anybody. All that empty space y'know. Unfortunately
