It's entirely their right to suggest it...and ya know... it may not be a bad idea... they pay for it and we can keep a lid on the guns coming into the country. Plus, think of the boon this would have for all the tunnel diggers on both sides of the border
I wonder if they'd be upset if we dammed up the river flowing into Manitoba too... ya know.. to treat all that infected water they're sending our way before allowing it into our river system.

U.S. studying wall along Canadian border
Dec. 17, 2005. 07:46 PM
WASHINGTON (CP) — Canada has no interest in a new U.S. initiative to study building a security wall along the border, officials said Saturday.
And a cross-border business group said it makes no sense when what's urgently required are measures to speed the flow of trade.
The study "on the use of physical barriers" was slipped into an amendment to a bill on border security and illegal immigration passed Friday by the U.S. House of Representatives.
The amendment, sponsored by California Republican Duncan Hunter, also approved building security fences with lights and cameras along more than 1,000 kilometres of the U.S.-Mexico border in four states to keep out illegal aliens and drugs.
The move comes amid heightened bilateral tensions arising from Canada's election campaign. But U.S. sources said it was prompted by southern U.S. politicians anxious to assure constituents they're not penalizing one border over another.
Alex Swann, spokesman for Canada's Public Safety Minister Anne McLellan, said the U.S. administration has never discussed the notion with Canada during regular meetings on border security.
"This is not a priority for us," said Swann.
"There's all sorts of things we want to do. This just isn't one of them," Swann added.
He insisted such a barrier would be impractical.
