WASHINGTON -- Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R), a staunch advocate of beefing up security on the southern border, said Sunday he is open to building a wall on the U.S. border with Canada as well.
The Republican presidential candidate said the idea of building a northern wall was brought up to him during a recent town hall in New Hampshire.
"That is a legitimate issue for us to look at," Walker said Sunday on NBC's "Meet the Press."
Republicans typically take a tough approach on securing the southern border, but few have said a wall should also be built along the U.S.-Canada border.
Walker reasoned that it's about much more than building a wall, arguing, "It starts with securing the homeland."
"It wasn't just about building a wall and securing our borders," he said. "It was also about making sure our intelligence community has the ability for counterterrorism and the ability to go after the infrastructure they need to protect us."
Talk of constructing a towering wall at the nation's southern border became a hot topic for Republicans after the first GOP debate and consistent mention of it by Republican front-

Canadians already leech off the US simply by proximity. You don't need to spend anything on defense when you border an ally with the most powerful military in the world.

When America begins to look like a 'prison for profit', then every American could become 'cheap labor'.
