Republican presidential candidate and Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker said on Sunday that a wall along the border between the United States and Canada is a “legitimate issue” to consider.

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has said that he would build a wall along the border between Mexico and the U.S. to curb illegal immigration — and has vowed that Mexico would foot the bill.

NBC’s “Meet The Press” host Chuck Todd asked Walker on the Sunday program if he would consider building a wall along the country’s northern border.

Walker said that some people along the campaign trail have raised the issue.

“They raised some very legitimate concerns, including some law enforcement folks that brought that up to me at one of our town hall meetings about a week and a half ago. So that is a legitimate issue for us to look at,” Walker told Todd.

  1. And I thought Bobby Jindal had won the prize for stupidest statement of the day in a walk, but I was wrong! The dishonor goes to Scott Walker. So you want to have a wall between the US and Mexico AND a wall between the US and Canada. Unable as I am to watch the full interview because 22 seconds of that voice makes me very queasy, I don’t know if he said how he plans to pay for the wall, for the monitoring of the wall. He’s going to force Canada to pay, perhaps?

  2. No joke. Not just a wall- a Great Wall to keep the roving bands and wandering hordes of Canadians out. When Canada sends their people in, they don’t send their best. They send their worst… Their hockey enthusiasts, their Biebers and their Ashley Madison corporate concepts. We will make them pay for it in USD not that cheap Canadian currency.

  3. Apparently a 2000 mile border wall with Mexico isn’t enough. Now this bozo wants a 4,000 mile border wall with Canada. Hey Lil’ Scotty, don’t forget to add in the 2200 mile southern border of Alaska with Canada’s Yukon Territory, you dipshit…

    Fucking Nuts…Party of DUMB and DUMBER!

    Help little Scotty out here. A wall at the Canadian border is every bit as legitimate an issue as the Jade Helm conspiracy. Just ask Governor Greg Abbott.
