I like the way Matt Damon thinks. It means that Ygritte is handing around here somewhere.

According to Google, the Canada-US border is 1,538 miles or 8,120,640 feet. At $52/foot, that's only $422,273,280. I suppose if you wanted upgrades to your 4x6 posts, maybe more concrete reinforcement and razor wire or something, the price might be a bit higher, but again this doesn't take into consideration volume discounts you might be able to negotiate for a project this size. If you're able to incorporate a CRL when the wall passes through parts of Montana and North Dakota, you know, to spur development, that might help cover some of the costs too.
