"You can never be totally confident," Trump said when asked about America's northern border, before vaunting his Department of Homeland Security's migrant round-ups.
Recent days have seen the arrest of hundreds of undocumented migrants across the United States.
"We're actually taking people that are criminals -- very, very hardened criminals in some cases, with a tremendous track record of abuse and problems, and we are getting them out," Trump said.
Civil rights group say migrants with no criminal record are also being caught in the dragnet.Trudeau said that "Canada has always understood that keeping Canadians safe is one of the fundamental responsibilities of any government."
"At the same time, we continue to pursue our policies of openness towards refugees without compromising security."
The gulf between the two neighbors was always going to be difficult to span: Trump has painted Syrian refugees as terrorists-in-waiting, while Trudeau has traveled to Toronto's Pearson International airport to greet them.While there was little common ground on migration, Trudeau and Trump did appear to narrow the gap on trade.
Trump had vowed to put "America first" and rip up the North America Free Trade Agreement, but significantly toned down that rhetoric after meeting Trudeau.
Trump called for trade to be "reciprocal," but said he wanted to only "tweak" rather than gut the terms of trade.
"Make no mistake, at the end of the day, Canada and the US will always remain each other's most essential partner," Trudeau said.
Trump had not been specific on how he wants NAFTA talks to develop, but has repeatedly trashed the 23-year-old pact, calling it a "catastrophe" for American jobs and threatening to slap tariffs on imports from Mexico.
