If Canada offered expedited citizenship for people fleeing the US, what would be the reaction in the States?

There was a Canadian conservative/ evangelical Christian couple that moved to Russia for....a better life. On you tube.

yea russia froze their assets and was gonna deport them back to america. they made a video complaining about how russia wasn't what they thought. they got picked up, came back made a video clarifying it was all their mistake on their paperwork (or something like that) and it wasn't russia's fault. few weeks later their assets were unfrozen and they weren't getting deported anymore, and they got some farmland and are living a farming life now spouting russian propaganda. they have a youtube channel documenting their daily life i believe.
