> [@LouisB](#): > > How do these idiot wall building cretins propose to deal with boats and airplanes? Boats won’t really be an issue except maybe in the Maine and Washington State areas, since presumably the wall will be built right on the border and thus go right down the middle of four Great Lakes. I for one can’t wait to see this feat of modern engineering! ---

> [@LouisB](#): > > How do these idiot wall building cretins propose to deal with boats and airplanes? Airplanes I can’t speak about but boats? I say we chain this ignorant sum-bitch behind a patrol boat & drag him across Lake Ontario by his ankles until his term expires\*. This way he can Personally keep an eye on Canada. \ ***We can have refueling tankers meet the patrol boat and re fill it on the water so it never has to slow futher than half-speed, let alone stop running. The fish have to eat too you know…** ---

Wouldn’t it be easier just to invade Canada and turn it into the 51st state? Those Mounties would be no match for the US Marines. ---

A simple 700-foot wall of ice should be sufficient to keep out the Canuckistani wilding terrorists, but eventually we will have to deal with Craster’s anchor babies. ---

Something like 100k Americans fled to Canada during the Vietnam War. A wall would’ve repelled those sap sucking traitors. > [@Giles](#): > > Wouldn’t it be easier just to invade Canada and turn it into the 51st state? Those Mounties would be no match for the US Marines.

Seriously, we ain’t taking every slack jawed political pundit claiming, “they’ll move to Canada if…”! New immigration regulations forbid entry to that ilk! And should y’all elect Trump/Palin, expect that wall to materialize over night! Just sayin’ ! ---

Can’t we do a giant ice wall like in “Game of Thrones?” I’d be willing to have my tax money spent on that. Apparently, there’s some magic involved in the GoT wall, but I’m sure we can work that out. ---

Perhaps you folks don’t know the maple syrup cartel is wreaking havoc on Wisconsin’s economy, I think a fence on the border would go a long ways to stop that junk from coming into the country. ---

Shouldn’t be a problem. Most Republican policy proposals would require a significant degree of magic to work in the first place. No reason this wall should be any different. ---
