Four Out of Ten Americans Want to Build a Wall Between the US and Canada

Illegal immigration scares the shit out of America. While a large part of that fear is usually directed at Mexico, a poll released by Bloomberg on Thursday found that a growing number of US citizens don't really trust our neighbors to the north, either.

In the survey, 41 percent of people questioned said we should build a "brick-and-mortar" wall between the US and Mexico—and while we're at it, put one up along the Canadian border, too. It's a line of logic that Scott Walker, who just bowed out of the Republican race for president, expressed interest in before closing up his campaign on Monday.

Jorge Ramos already did a pretty good job of unpacking why the idea of building a physical wall along the US-Mexico border doesn't make any goddamn sense, and a US-Canada wall doesn't really, either. Customs and Border Protection estimates the cost of constructing such a wall at about $16 million per mile. At that rate, it'd cost more than $60 billion to board up the 3,987 miles the US shares with Canada.

Still, according to Bloomberg's survey, four in ten Americans are prepared to do whatever it takes to keep foreigners from robbing us of our precious jobs, no matter what end of the border they're pouring in from.

"If you cut off one, they're going to come in the other way," a Trump supporter told Bloomberg . "It's desolate up there in some places on the Canadian border and they've gotta do something up there to stop them from coming in."
