Let's get that fence around the NE built up first. Then we can worry about a border-long fence.

Maybe they're preparing for the inevitable Zombie-Apocalypse or Lizard-Man invasion?

Maybe they know something that we dont?

I would actually like to see the wall built. The costs would be exorbitant and for literally no reason at all.

Canadians would just sit back and laugh while they board a flight to a US destination. Walls can't keep Canadians out LOL.

If the wall keeps Justin Bieber out I'm all for it.

anyone remember that episode of Penn & Teller's Bullsh*t where they hired mexican "illegals" to build a sample of the border wall?

Only to have them in an experiment on who can go past the wall the quickest by either
- going over the wall
- going under the wall
- going through the wall

wall challenge at 3:40

Here is a graphic showing all the completed, under construction and proposed walls around the world. There are now more walls/fences on borders than there were during the height of the cold war.

Oh it doesn't work that way. Trump wants Mexico to pay for the wall, not the US. They will expect us to pay for the wall across our border too.

I can't wait to see that.

I find it ironic that their hero was the man who said "Tear down this wall."

41% of Americans would support a wall on the Canadian border...

http://www.cbc.ca/news/trending/wall...lker-1.3242383

Edit: I should put the direct wording of the question:

There should be a brick-and-mortar wall between the U.S. and Mexico
41% agree, 55% disagree

If a wall is good for the Mexico border, it is good for the Canada border as well
41% agree, 56% disagree

He plans on stopping all money being sent from Mexican workers in the States back to Mexico, and that'll learn 'em, and then the Mexican government will build the wall.

It's just a touch unrealistic for a few reasons, one of them being the existence of the internet (which you'd think he'd know about, because he spends an awful lot of time on Twitter).
